Sublime Comporta Country Retreat & Spa

This place is an oasis of calm & serenity in an albeit calm & serene (apart from some construction across the road) part of Portugal. The "resort" has it all, amazing accommodation (we stayed in a villa, if you get a shot and you like to look out over nothing, ask for 34) , impeccable service, lovely bar, quality food, a really amazing beach club etc. High end, top dollar but worth it. Comporta. My one gripe. It's agricultural around the resort. There are rice fields everywhere. That alas equals mosquitoes. All five of us got bites at various times and covered in citrus repellent. Without mosquitoes its a 6 out of 5. Comporta town is a mix of rustic, cool, high end restaurants and down to earth bars. Some good shopping for those who don't own enough Hamptons like gear (there are plenty of cool Portugese brands and shops). I wish I would remember the name of the fish restaurant in the middle of town where we had Sardines. So good. One other thing, its not "remote" but its a solid 1.5 hours to Lisbon and its all motorway to get there, short of a couple of rest stops there isn't much on the way in. So, amazing resort, relatively unspoiled but that will change, more resorts, more people are coming. Its a place to relax (spa, pool, eat, beach !) and chill (well it was for us!).

This secret hideaway is really sublime! The mediterranean scent of pine trees and the overall feeling of natural luxury give you an instant feeling of holiday and relaxation. The team of people are really really friendly and helpful. Great restaurant, truly the best breakfast all fresh made. Nice open spaces with all wood and nature elements. The villa is cosy and very relaxing. Great facilities. An absolute recommendation!

un cocon de détente Magnifique hôtel en pleine nature dont le calme est l'atout majeur. Un petit raté au diner où les plats et le service n ont pas été au niveau des tarifs ni de l'hôtel par contre le petit déjeuner est excellent ainsi que le restaurant de plage le Beach Club. Chambre très jolie et confortable.
