Quinta da Comporta
a CHIC SUMMER RETREAT
COMPORTA, ALENTEJO, PORTUGAL
Quinta da Comporta pool is insane, with an infinite view of the rice fields and at the end of the day an orange sunset contrasts with the bright green of the crops. A perfect moment to clebrate summer every single day.
Just an hour south of Lisbon, Quinta da Comporta is considered one of the most beautiful hotels in the region, where expansive sand dunes, umbrella pines, vineyards, and verdant rice fields set the scene. This design-led sanctuary captures an effortlessly authentic style that invites guests to reconnect with nature and its soothing rhythms. Built on the site of former rice barns, this unique retreat combines rustic elegance with a modern bohemian flair in a spacious setup of seventy-three accommodations - ranging from pool villas and townhouses to chic bedrooms - all overlooking lush rice paddies that extend to the Atlantic Ocean, just a quick buggy ride away.
Designed by Portuguese architect Miguel Câncio Martins, Quinta da Comporta melds with its natural surroundings, exuding the laid-back elegance typical of the region’s “herdades.” Old rice barns have been renovated and refreshed with traditional blue-painted accents, while interiors are brought to life with banana-leaf armchairs, bamboo-framed beds, grand wicker lamps, and woven rugs, all evoking a rustic yet refined rhythm. This stylistic fusion invites guests to embrace the “Comporta way”—an aesthetic and way of life that’s equal parts calming and chic.
Quinta da Comporta offers a versatile retreat experience, appealing to both tranquility seekers and families looking for a refined yet relaxed escape. During late spring and summer, guests can savor the vibrant yet unhurried village life of Comporta, while in the quieter months from November to April, Quinta da Comporta transforms into a serene hideaway, ideal for those seeking a more personal, low-key experience. With its effortless design, thoughtful touches, and seamless blend of past and present, Quinta da Comporta is a quintessential destination to rediscover a slower, richer pace of life amid the timeless beauty of Portugal’s Alentejo coast.
