It's pretty clear what was at the top of the list for the architect that designed this intriguing home in Comporta – natural light and lots of it. Enormous walls of glass line the sides of the home and the dazzlingly white interior design only accentuates this plentiful natural asset. These huge windows also have the added benefit of looking out to peaceful views of local rice fields, too.

As you can probably begin to tell, it's a rather relaxing address. There are lots of spots in the tropical garden in which to appreciate the local tranquillity, whether on the back of a lounger or while dining alfresco on the table. Whenever the temperature takes a dip, you can head back inside and cosy up next to the contemporary fireplace in the lounge.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the locale, there are vast swathes of golden beaches covering the Portuguese coastline that start from as close as 1.5km away, while the nearest town is only 2km away for when you're in need of restaurants and shops.

Invisible Light

For bohemian beachside vibes and pristine nature, look no further than this charming four-bedroom villa, nestled between the Sado Estuary and the crashing surf of the Atlantic Ocean.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully furnished, the villa's interior maintains plenty of period charm alongside a casual contemporary style. The open layout of the main multipurpose living area makes the most of the spectacular summer climate with large, south-facing sliding doors that open out onto an inviting poolside deck. 

Out here, you'll find plenty of sun loungers and parasols for day-long sunbathing sessions, plus a picnic table for light lunches overlooking the pool. Around the corner, further seating and dining options are in the shade of a wooden pergola.

Back inside, four nautically themed bedrooms offer a tranquil haven to retreat to at the end of the day, with both double rooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, and all benefitting from direct access to the immaculately maintained outdoor areas.

The area might only be around an hour south of Lisbon, but Comporta has been quietly flying under the radar over the years. CN Traveller recently picked it out as Portugal's best-kept secret spot. So kick off your shoes, plant your toes in the sand and come and see what the fuss is about.


Casa da Comporta

A stay in this magazine-worthy home could be your very own Portuguese nature retreat. The home is spread over three cabanas, all connected via a wooden walkway. The natural interiors and exteriors match the forest surroundings, and there's plenty of outside seating to maximise your time spent out in the fresh air, including a dining table on the shaded terrace.  If the private swimming pool, terrace and garden weren't enough, the sandy Pego beach, shops and restaurants are a short drive away.

A Tranquil Retreat

Among the picture-perfect rice fields and close to the River Sado, you’ll find this truly unique home. Comprising three fisherman-style huts, don’t let the rustic exterior deceive you – a luxurious living experience awaits inside. 

Showcasing plenty of country charm and cosy touches, this home is perfect for family life. Boasting multiple lounge areas, outdoor seating and even a treehouse, there's plenty of space to spread out and relax.

When you do fancy a day out, explore the local nature spots of Comporta, or jump in the car and head to Praia da Comporta to enjoy the turquoise waters and white sand – it's just over 4km away. When you return, rustle up a fresh seafood dinner on the barbecue, and eat together alfresco under the pergola with a bottle of Portuguese wine. Don’t feel like cooking? Hire a private chef for the evening and relax while tasting some of the local delicacies of northwest Portugal.

Post-dinner, retire to the fire pit to toast marshmallows and watch the sunset over the fields, or indulge in an evening swim in the private swimming pool. 

River & Rice Fields

A luxurious retreat awaits at this home nestled in the heart of Comporta. Set across three independent homes, the rooms perfectly embody laidback elegance and effortless style. There are seven peaceful bedrooms and a generous living room and kitchen for social gatherings. Outside, you’ll find optimum relaxation while lounging by the private pool and soaking in the stunning views. There’s also a tennis court and a serene terrace with a barbecue for alfresco dining. You will need a car (or bikes) to get around here, but it’s just a short drive to the nearest beaches and amenities. 


The Spirit of Joy 

With idyllic countryside views, this home offers the perfect setting for a rustic retreat. From here you can enjoy blissful days relaxing by the private heated pool. There’s a shaded terrace and a barbecue for alfresco dining. Inside, the cosy living room features a fireplace for cooler days, while the bedrooms make it easy to switch off and unwind. Daily housekeeping is included in your stay (excluding Sunday) and there’s a range of extra services available – including yoga sessions and local guides. And for explorations further afield it’s just a short walk to the nearest restaurant, while the nearest beach is just 4-kilometres away.  

Love Serenade

There are few places in the world as peaceful as the Comporta region. And here, in this Californian-style, boho-chic villa, you’re in the perfect place to switch off and recharge, just twenty-five minutes from the dazzling beaches of Comporta. Surrounded by an idyllic pine and cork oak forest and with your own glittering pool, relaxing comes easy. You wouldn’t think you’re just an hour’s drive from bustling Lisbon. 

It isn’t just the setting that makes this home so special. Despite the home’s recent renovation in 2021, the traditional touches of a terracotta tiled roof, original gas burner, and Portuguese-style tiles were kept. It’s been beautifully done to suit both a modern and traditional preference, respecting its roots while providing a contemporary level of comfort. The kitchen is a perfect example of this – top-notch appliances are met with rustic surfaces and shelves, embodying the bohemian spirit of Comporta. It’s certainly a kitchen that wants to be cooked in, whether that’s by you or a private chef.

As much as we love the interior, it’s the outdoor area that takes the cake. You’re wrapped up in dreamy haze of peach and pink here, with hours blissfully rolling by as you lie on the in-pool daybed, dipping your toe in the water, with nothing but the forest stretching around you. Life stands still and you finally get to the level of relaxation you’ve been craving. Afternoon pool dips are followed by crisp glasses of wine, enjoyed in the sparkling white 70s-style sofa pit. When dinnertime rolls around, present a feast of salads garnished with the herbs picked from your garden and barbecued local produce along the outdoor dining table, covered by the straw pergola. 

Peachy Dreams

Nestled between Comporta and Carvalhal, this tranquil home perfectly embodies the effortless beauty of the Alentejo coastline. 

From the soft light and natural tones to the idyllic setting, the mood is slow, simple and relaxed – inspiring you to settle in and make it your own. Wake up early and watch the sunrise from the roof terrace, embrace cooling dips in the pool and savour delicious evening drinks served on the terrace. Your host can also arrange a private chef – ensuring every moment of your stay feels personal and special. 

For daytime adventures, make the short drive to the nearest beach (just 5km away), rent bikes or follow nearby hiking trails. Surrounded by forest with white sandy beaches on your doorstep, this serene stretch of coastline will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired by the unique magic of Comporta.  

The Way of Peace

Located in a quiet spot, surrounded by trees, you’ll feel like you’ve got away from it all here. With a private pool, alfresco dining terrace, and outdoor seating area, this home is perfectly set up for enjoying a laidback, Mediterranean lifestyle. And if you’re craving a pastel de nata or want to stock up on Portuguese wine, you’ll find restaurants and a supermarket just a short stroll away.  Little ones will love the sandy beach, a one-kilometre walk from the villa, and for golf enthusiasts, the nearest course is a seven-kilometre drive.

Beachcomber Blues

Just a short stroll from the beach, this home is perfectly located for a refreshing coastal getaway. There's also a private heated pool and a wonderful shaded terrace for alfresco dining. Inside, the rooms combine luxurious comfort and functionality to ensure optimum relaxation. Your host is on hand to help organise extras like a private chef, yoga sessions and local guides. And while it might be hard to leave this coastal sanctuary, it’s a great base for exploring Comporta and the Tróia Peninsula.


Ocean's Breeze

This coastal hideaway sits in perfect harmony with the natural beauty of its surroundings. Consisting of three independent homes, you’ll find each building has been thoughtfully curated to inspire optimum relaxation. From the calm aesthetics to the saltwater pool and serene location, this is the perfect opportunity to switch off and spend quality time together. Your host is also on hand to help organise housekeeping, children’s amenities and bike rentals, plus it’s just a short walk to the beach (800 metres away). 


Way of Beauty

Tucked away in the exclusive residential enclave of Casas da Encosta, this villa is surrounded by natural beauty. While it’s big enough to sleep twelve, one of the bedrooms has three bunk beds so is best for children. Lazy days here can be spent lounging by the private pool, enjoying the panoramic views, or tucking into an alfresco meal at the shaded dining table. And when you’re ready for a change of scene, the nearest beach is just a two-minute drive away. You can also hire bikes and buggies from your host to explore the surrounding area at your own pace.
