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

Guests will be instantly drawn to the outdoors when they stay in this five-bedroom home. We recommend making a beeline for the luxurious infinity pool, which overlooks the sea and hilly countryside. These views are best enjoyed at sunset, on the outdoor sofas with a glass of wine in hand. Unwind and relax in serene solitude. With a large kitchen and stylish dining room, there is little reason to venture into the outside world, but if you do, we highly recommend Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. Reconnect with family and friends over billiards or with a home-cooked feast; there are plenty of lounging spaces for the ultimate privacy. The more athletic among you can have a game of tennis at the on-site court. This home is located between Lisbon and Lagos. Make sure you explore the dramatic beaches that make up the Algarve coast.

Distant Blue

Just a short distance from the wild and beautiful Atlantic coast, this whitewashed home opens its blue-shuttered doors to the majestic charm of Comporta. 

Set within an expansive garden and surrounded by pine trees, this is the perfect setting for a rejuvenating retreat – one that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired from the moment of arrival. And with a range of luxurious features alongside impeccable styling, you’ll find it easy to settle in and make this space your own. 

From the art and objects to the personal touches, every detail of this home has been considered to enrich daily living with comfort and ease. Follow the views outside and you’ll find the perfect setting for lazy days by the swimming pool, magical sunset drinks and al fresco meals. Your lovely host can also help arrange for a private chef to prepare a delicious Portuguese meal – inviting you to sit back and savour the beauty of this unique setting. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, you’ll find the ensuite bedrooms set the tone for a restorative night’s sleep. 

When you’re inspired to explore beyond this private sanctuary, days can be spent embracing the waves on Praia dos Brejos beach, hiking through the surrounding countryside and discovering the natural beauty of the Alentejo region. 

Lotus Heart

Situated in Brejos da Carregueira de Baixo, this home is made up of three gorgeous villas. Unspoiled nature surrounds the property with paradisal views, and the pool can be heated for an extra cost. During your stay, you'll have privileged access to the private beach of Brejinhos, with beach towels provided to help you make the most of it. We think it's a great choice for families travelling with kids – your host can provide a high chair and cot for an additional fee, and you can rent bikes or a buggy for exploring the area.

The Flower District

Discover the natural beauty, adventurous pursuits, and historic towns of Lisbon's pristine coast from your charming villa. With a whitewashed facade, terracotta tiled roof, sauna, sparkling pool, and laidback interior, it ticks all the boxes for a paradisiacal Portuguese getaway. Not to mention the rooftop terrace, with views stretching across fields to the Atlantic Ocean.

Days are spent lounging by the pool, getting lost in your holiday read, and taking dips in the turquoise waters. The natural surroundings have a sense of peace and tranquillity, where any thoughts of daily life melt under the Portuguese sun. When you want to take solace from the mid-day heat, the pastel-hued living area is the perfect space to cool down. And when the day turns to dusk, head up to your boho-chic terrace for a wondrous sunset view, accompanied by a glass of fine local wine. 

The beauty of this villa is how secluded it feels, yet exploring the local area comes so easily. It’s located in the tiny village of Aleida de Meco, known for its deliciously fresh seafood, just 2.5 miles from Meco beach. The beach was only discovered in the 1970s and has a nostalgic tinge to its unspoiled sands. If you want to venture further, the lively town of Sesimbra is just 7.5 miles away. There, you can learn why it’s so famous for its wine and cheese, as well as its surfing. 

Pastel Dusk

Sit back, relax, and soak up the sun at this Portuguese villa. It has everything you need to feel at home – including a large open-plan living area, an outdoor ping-pong table, and a dazzling swimming pool where you can float the afternoon away. Consider yourself a sporty type? You'll have access to a nearby tennis court and golf course, too. Lisbon is a thirty-five-minute drive away and ideal for a day trip. That said, with the beautiful beaches of Costa da Caparica five minutes by car, we reckon most of your time will be spent on the sand.

Fairway & Teal

Live the boho lifestyle in this charming villa, based close to Comporto beach and providing you with a serene resting spot for when you’re not out exploring. We adore the bohemian decor and characterful artwork, such as the coloured glass collection, woven fabrics and wicker furniture, which gives the home a warm and welcoming feel. You can spend sunny mornings out on your shaded terrace, with a large lounge area that makes for a great place for your morning coffee. You can cook up delicious chorizo scrambled eggs in your quaint kitchen area and tuck in alfresco at the shaded dining table. In the evenings, plant yourself in a deckchair with a glass of fizz, and watch the sunset over the fields in the distance.

This villa resides in a peaceful and rural spot in Comporta, an idyllic village that sits peacefully between rice fields and the ocean. You’ll be based just a stroll away from a 60km-long stretch of stunning beaches, and so ideally located for sea swimming, sunbathing, and spotting dolphins swimming off of the coast. It's easy to spend a whole day exploring the vibrant bars and fantastic restaurants that line the seafront.

Beachy Boho

If we were to tell you of a hideaway that sits in the middle of twelve hectares of lush pine forest in rural Comporta, you might imagine a certain type of home and we're willing to wager that it doesn't look anything like this wonderfully modern residence.

Not only does the boxy white exterior look visually striking from the outside, but this sense of awe will continue as you step through the glass doors. Our favourite space is the double-height living, which is flooded with natural light from the copious number of windows that line the walls. However, the modern brown kitchen and equally glossy bathrooms are sure to take your breath away, as well. The design throughout feels cohesive, united by a preference for clean lines, sleek surfaces and chic minimalism.

Given the agreeable climate that this corner of the Iberian peninsula enjoys, you'll likely want to spend as many hours outdoors as possible and that's easy to do here. The long infinity swimming pool is both wonderfully refreshing when the midday sun is at its highest and made all the more relaxing by the heady scent of fragrant herbs and vegetation that grow around the sides. There are plenty of terraces and balconies on which to take a seat and do nothing more strenuous than soak up the rays, but you can also find a tennis court if you fancy a match or two.

Although there's a strong sense of tranquillity from the isolated position, you don't have to venture far to find the Portuguese coastline. Carvalhal and Pego beaches can be reached in ten minutes or so in the car, and there are a few restaurants and bars to be found close to these seaside spots.


Finesse in the Forest

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Comporta with a stay in this serene cabana. Perched on the edge of a lake, you’ll be serenaded by the sweet sounds of nature and stunning views. There’s a wonderful terrace where you can sit back and soak it all in. The rooms are simple, elegant and perfect for groups in search of ease and simplicity. Daily housekeeping is provided and there are a range of extra services available such as private chefs, yoga sessions and bike rentals. Beyond here, it’s just a five-minute walk to Pego Beach, while the nearest amenities are also within easy reach. 


Spring Lake 

Nestled within a private estate, this whitewashed home opens its doors to the natural beauty of the Portuguese coastline. Surrounded by pine and oak trees, this is the perfect setting to switch off and spend lazy days relaxing by the private pool. There is also a shaded terrace with a barbecue, and your host is on hand to help organise extras like catering and private chefs. Housekeeping is included in your stay and children’s amenities are available on request for an additional fee. From here, it’s possible to walk to the nearest shop, but we recommend hiring a car to explore further afield – the beautiful beaches of Comporta are less than thirty minutes away. 

Delight of the Moon

Nestled amidst an abundance of leafy green nature, this architecturally modern and unique home juxtaposes beautifully in contrast with its nature-filled habitat. With tons of personality and intriguing quirks throughout, one of the first things you'll notice is the huge circular window at the heart of the home. It features like a piece of artwork at the centre of the main living area, framing your beautiful surroundings and allowing you to gaze out over the golf course and peaceful pinewood forest.

Clean lines and contemporary designs style every room with warmth and harmony across the home, creating a truly comfortable space to relax between excursions and exploring the local area. 

There is a particular emphasis on the art of leisure here, as the host supplies bicycles, surfboards, tennis rackets, and tennis balls for guests to enjoy when lapping up the picturesque locale. Golfers and surfers will be thrilled with the home's close proximity to course and coast alike – you’ll be amazed to find that the home’s garden is actually set on the green of Aroeira Golf Course, one of Portugal’s largest. Whether you decide to go for a swing or a surfing swim, your host can help you book a session. 

Set in the suburban town of Aroeira, the home is just a thirty-minute drive away from the centre of Lisbon and an even closer, twelve-minute drive to Fonte da Telha Beach. 

Modern Soul

In a peaceful golf private condominium, Nature's Retreat provides an idyllic setting for families, friends, nature enthusiasts, and golf players seeking a relaxed getaway. The villa's spacious and beautifully decorated interiors offer a comfortable retreat, equipped with all the amenities one might need. Step outside, and you'll be greeted by the refreshing blue waters of the pool and the verdant greenery of the surrounding nature, creating a welcoming atmosphere for socializing and unwinding.

Situated against the stunning backdrop of the Arrabida mountains, Quinta do Perú Golf is conveniently located just a 30-minute drive away from Lisbon. This renowned golf course holds a prestigious reputation and remains a popular choice for golf players from around the world, promising an exceptional experience for enthusiasts of all skill levels.

The villa's ground floor features a well-equipped kitchen and a laundry room, a cozy living room and dining area, as well as three suites. One of the suites offers a spacious double bed and a luxurious bathroom with both a shower and a bath, while the other two suites provide comfortable double beds and ensuite bathrooms with showers. Additionally, there is an extra living room, a convenient WC, and air conditioning throughout the villa.

On the lower floor, you'll find a charming bedroom furnished with a double bed and a single bed, perfect for accommodating small groups. The lower floor also boasts air conditioning for added comfort, a bathroom with a shower, and a cozy living room combined with a games room, offering entertainment options for all ages.

The villa's exterior is equally inviting, featuring a generous 10-meter by 5-meter swimming pool equipped with a heat pump and a cover. An outdoor summer kitchen with a barbecue allows for delightful cooking experiences amidst the beautiful surroundings. Convenient bathroom and shower facilities are available, along with four comfortable sun beds for relaxation. An outdoor dining area provides the perfect spot for al fresco meals, and there is ample parking space for up to three cars.

For those looking to explore the surroundings, several beaches such as Lagoa de Albufeira, Praia do Meco, and Portinho da Arrábida are within a short distance from the villa. Nearby amenities include a restaurant just 1.5 kilometers away, a pharmacy within 3.3 kilometers, and a supermarket within 4.8 kilometers.
