Comporta is one of the best places to spend some holidays in Portugal. This region is situated 1 hour and 15 minutes from Lisbon. 

Various surf places, authentic beach huts, pine and cork oak forests, as well as hearty meals and elegant stores selling fashionable clothes and jewelry, may all be found in this beautiful region. 

This is an ideal place to re-energize yourself and enjoy the beauty of Portugal. 

COMPORTA – A PROTECTED NATURAL REGION:

Comporta is commonly known as its surrounding region, called Herdade da Comporta. This region is located between the Sado estuary and the ocean. 

Pego, Carvalhal, Brejos, Torre, Possanco, Carrasqueira, and Comporta are among the seven hamlets that make up the 12,500-hectare estate. 

This region is particularly well maintained, partly because it is largely classified as a ‘highly protected nature reserve’, but also because it belongs to the large banking group Espírito Santo. 

Thanks to that, this part of Alentejo remains surprisingly unspoiled and pristine. 

HOUSES AND HUTS IN COMPORTA:

The huts and houses all over the lands of Comporta provide a charming and fascinating environment. 

They are made of aged wood with thatched roofs and one of the highly authentic houses is “Casas d Comporta”, which is best for living on rent. 

Moreover, you can also settle into one of the villas or cabins called “Alma da Comporta”. 

This house is a paradise between the ocean and rice paddies and it’s a unique place of nature where you can live the most magnificent moments.
