Galé • View of the cliffs from the beach

Galé • It took nature about 5mio. years to create this spectacle.

Santo André • The waves are often spectacular — but beware: the currents can be strong

Carvalhal • The beach nearest to the villa, with what we think is the best and most caring surf school you could wish for

Carvalhal • Colours of the sea, beach and sky are most appealing in the late afternoon

Comporta • The DJ of ComportaCafe hits the climax precisely as the sun drops below the horizon

Pinheirinho • A wild beach, no infrastructure but everything nature has to offer

Pinheirinho • Often completely deserted

Golf

Rapidly emerging as one of Europe’s premier golfing destinations, the region offers spectacular, world-class courses designed by legends of the game. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of natural sand dunes and fragrant pine forests, courses like Dunas and Torre provide an unforgettable, year-round experience for players of all levels.

Dunas

Just 5 minutes away, this acclaimed links-style course opened in 2023. Designed by David McLay Kidd, it flows naturally through pristine sand dunes and pine forests, offering a spectacular round.
Torre

A 5-minute drive (in the other direction...) takes you to this highly anticipated masterpiece designed by Sergio Garcia. Opened in 2025, it promises a world-class layout with immaculate greens that seamlessly blend into the Alentejo landscape
Pinheirinho

Located 15 minutes from the villa, this beautifully restored course offers a highly scenic layout. Its quiet fairways are deeply integrated into the natural surroundings, making it a hidden gem for relaxed play.
Tróia

Consistently ranked among Europe's top courses, this legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr. design is just 20 minutes away. It is famous for its challenging sea-breeze conditions and breathtaking views of the Sado estuary and the Arrábida hillside.

Restaurants

Comporta’s culinary scene is a celebration of ‘barefoot luxury’. From chic beachfront restaurants serving the morning’s fresh catch to traditional, family-run tascas tucked away in the villages, dining here is always relaxed, authentic, and deeply connected to the region’s rich agricultural roots.

Ilha do Arroz

Our preferred spot right ON the beach: perfect warmth behind the panoramic glass, also on windy days.
Dona Bia

You'll always see cars parked outside, and for good reason. It looks incredibly unassuming, but the traditional Portuguese food is simply the best in town. We absolutely love their fresh fish and rice dishes.
Quinta da Comporta

Pricey, but the scenery of the resort and the atmosphere created by the high quality restored former barn makes it very much worth it. Food is excellent as well.
A Cegonha

Basic but excellent Portuguese food in a no-frills environment right in the heart of Comporta.

Activities

Comporta is an outdoor playground where untouched nature meets effortless adventure. From sunset horseback rides through the rice fields to peaceful morning walks in fragrant pine forests or catching waves in the Atlantic, the region offers endless ways to reconnect with the outdoors.

Surfing

You can’t learn surfing in a better way: the most charming and funny teachers on a safe beach. Accompanying parents will appreciate the Sublime Beach Bar.
Horseback riding

Through the rice fields to the beach on a horseback — the feeling of ultimate freedom.

Pine woods & rice fields

Right from your doorstep you can start long walks or runs across the pine woods and rice fields. Untouched nature protected by preservation areas. Most beautiful in the mornings — getting up early for a sunrise experience is worth the effort (see pics in the gallery)! We have curated specific routes with downloadable GPS profiles for our guests.
Bird & Dolphin watching

In the estuary of the Sado river. Either on boat trips or combine it with a walk along the lagoon.
