Villas among the pines and rice fields, a few minutes from the long white beaches of the Alentejo coast
As featured in
Rice fields, stone pines and a very long beach
Comporta is a small village of whitewashed, blue-trimmed houses on the Alentejo coast, south of the Tróia peninsula. Around it lie rice paddies, umbrella pines and cork oaks. White storks nest on the chimneys, and a wide, pale beach runs south for mile after mile. For years Lisbon families kept it to themselves. Word has got out since, but the place has kept its low-rise, barefoot manners.
Our Comporta collection runs to 110+ properties. There are contemporary villas among the pines near Carvalhal and Pego, houses with sea views above the estuary at Carrasqueira, and larger family quintas. Almost all have private pools, and some have heated pools and spas.
Below you will find where to stay, how to get here and what to do once you have arrived.

Comporta village for restaurants and the main beach, Carvalhal and Pego for villas in the pines a short walk or cycle from the sea, and Carrasqueira for estuary views and its old stilt harbour.
Comporta, Carvalhal and Pego
Comporta itself takes about ten minutes to walk around. It has a handful of good restaurants, a few interiors shops and the road down to its beach, where a wooden boardwalk crosses the dunes. Most of the area's villas sit a little south, in the pines around Carvalhal and Pego, two of the finest stretches of sand on this coast.
Life here is unhurried. You spend the morning on the beach and stay over a long lunch of grilled fish at a shack in the dunes. In the evening a glass of local white comes out on the terrace while the light goes gold over the rice fields.

Stilt jetties, dolphins and flamingos
On the other side of the peninsula lies the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, a world of salt marsh, mudflats and reed beds. At Carrasqueira, fishermen still tie up at a harbour of rickety wooden jetties built on stilts over the mud. It is best seen at low tide, early or late in the day.
The estuary is home to a resident group of bottlenose dolphins, which are often seen from boats out of Setúbal. Flamingos feed in the shallows for much of the year. Inland, the old town of Alcácer do Sal climbs the bank of the Sado beneath its castle.

A ferry, Roman ruins and golf
The Tróia peninsula stretches north towards Setúbal, with more beach on its ocean side. On its estuary shore are the remains of a large Roman fish-salting works, where fish sauce was once made for export. Tróia also has a golf course, and there is good riding along the sands and through the pine forest.
The car ferry from Setúbal to Tróia takes around 25 minutes. It is the more scenic way to arrive, and dolphins sometimes follow the boat. It also makes day trips easy to Setúbal's fish market and to the Arrábida hills across the water.

Rice, clams and a cool Atlantic
The paddies are not just for show. Rice is the local staple, and arroz de marisco, a soupy rice with shellfish, appears on almost every menu. So do clams, grilled fish and, closer to Setúbal, choco frito, fried cuttlefish. Wines from the Herdade da Comporta estate are worth seeking out.
The beach season runs from June to September. The Atlantic stays bracing even in August, which is where a heated pool earns its keep. Spring and autumn are quieter, mild and very good for walking and birdwatching. Our concierge can book beach restaurant tables, riding, dolphin trips and transfers from Lisbon.

The right house, not the nearest one
Comporta's villas are scattered across pine forest, rice fields and estuary shore, and we know which ones are within walking or cycling distance of the beach and which look out over the Sado. With 110+ properties in Comporta, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Transfers from Lisbon, car hire, beach restaurant reservations, horse riding on the sands, dolphin-watching trips on the Sado and a private chef. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
