Why Visit Sublime Comporta?
Experience Portugal’s most talked-about destination in tranquility, enjoying hospitality that is second to none.
Setting the Scene
The property spans 17 acres and features three pools, a spa, three restaurants, and a bio pool, complemented by unique suites inspired by the traditional fisherman’s huts. This environment evokes a sensation of peace, allowing time to slow down as you soak in the serene surroundings.
The Backstory
Originally a private project by former TAP Air pilot Gonçalo Pessoa and his wife Patrícia Trigo, what started as a beach house plan evolved into one of the most sought-after resorts in Portugal. They purchased 42 acres of woodland in 2004, envisioning a family retreat. As interest in the region escalated, they capitalized on the potential, gradually expanding the property from a few rooms and a spa to a full resort experience. Their recent venture includes the opening of a hotel in Lisbon in 2022, reflecting a growing interest in their brand.
Room Options
Guests can choose from various accommodations, including the owner’s house, guest suites, and cabana-style villas that comfortably house larger groups. The decor features classic Comporta elements, like whitewashed walls and natural materials, enhanced by thoughtful design items like straw bags available for guests’ use during their stay.
Culinary Experiences
Sublime Comporta boasts one of the finest dining experiences in the region. The primary restaurant, Sem Porta, serves an impressive breakfast and offers an inventive menu showcasing local ingredients like Algarve pink prawns, lobster rice, and Iberian pork. For a more casual atmosphere, the seasonal Tasca da Comporta serves traditional Portuguese petiscos.
For a unique culinary experience, the Food Circle acts as a chef’s kitchen within the organic garden, serving dishes cooked over an open fire pit, catering to an intimate gathering of twelve.
Additionally, the Comporta Beach Club is perfect for a relaxing lunch by the sand, transitioning into an evening spot for fresh seafood and delightful cocktails.
