Villa Mira Mar | 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Grandola

A luxury villa rental in Comporta, Portugal that sits 800 metres from Pego beach—close enough to hear the Atlantic on calm evenings, far enough to feel genuinely secluded. Villa Mira Mar sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, positioned within the gated Casas da Encosta development where pine forest meets coastal plain. This is where Lisbon’s creative class retreats when they want the Algarve without the crowds.

Inside Villa Mira Mar

The ground floor flows as one open statement. A modernly equipped kitchen anchors the western wall—gas range, substantial refrigerator, room to work—adjacent to the dining area where you can lay a table for six without anyone fighting for elbow space. To the east, the living quarters scatter across soft furnishings arranged around a television and bookshelves; this is the kind of room where conversations drift until midnight because nobody wants to leave.

Three bedrooms occupy the remainder of the ground floor. The primary bedroom houses a double bed with its own ensuite bathroom featuring a double vanity—the kind of space where two people can prepare for the day without negotiation. The second bedroom mirrors this layout: double bed, private ensuite. The third follows the same configuration. Beautiful tiled floors run throughout, providing both visual continuity and practical coolness underfoot during summer afternoons. Each ensuite is separate and full, meaning a household of six never queues for the bathroom.

Throughout Villa Mira Mar, air conditioning maintains comfort during Portugal’s warmest months. Wi-Fi connects reliably to the main terrace and all interior spaces. A washing machine handles the linens and swimming kit accumulated over a week-long stay.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside and the property reveals its true character. The private swimming pool occupies the central garden—clear water, full sun exposure from 9am to 6pm, with sun loungers positioned to catch both rays and shade via the surrounding vegetation. The pool temperature maintains comfort through the summer months.

A sheltered dining table sits on the terrace, oriented to catch afternoon light and protected from the Atlantic breeze that arrives most evenings. Adjacent to this, a second shaded lounge area provides respite during the hottest hours—ideal for a long lunch or an afternoon read. Additional sun loungers scatter across the garden perimeter. A barbecue area allows for grilled fish and vegetables prepared while guests lounge poolside. Satellite television within the villa extends entertainment to the terrace during evening hours.

The grounds support four independent bathroom facilities across the property, allowing guests to freshen up at the pool without returning indoors. This practical consideration reveals how Villa Mira Mar was designed for actual use rather than aspirational brochure photography.

Location: Comporta and the Surrounding Coastal Region

Comporta sits on Portugal’s southwestern coast, approximately 90 kilometres south of Lisbon and 20 kilometres north of the Algarve—a position that places it in a distinct microclimate. This fishing village has resisted the development that transformed nearby regions, remaining a working community where Portuguese families maintain beach houses rather than serving as a tourist entertainment zone.

Pego beach, a 10-minute walk from Villa Mira Mar, offers sheltered waters with a sandy bottom suitable for families. The shoreline stretches unbroken for 3 kilometres in either direction. Further north, Comporta beach itself provides a wider expanse of sand backed by dunes and the characteristic pine forest that gives this region its character. South of Pego, the coast becomes more dramatic—Carvalhal beach lies 4 kilometres down the coast, featuring dunes and a beach bar that operates during summer months.

The village of Comporta proper—approximately 1.5 kilometres inland—contains a cooperage that produces locally made wooden items, several galleries featuring Portuguese contemporary art, and a handful of restaurants. Casa do Forno serves regional seafood; Comporta serves fresh sardines grilled simply; O Marítimo offers clams and fish prepared in traditional styles. The local supermarket stocks fresh produce from regional farms, particularly tomatoes, lettuces, and herbs that supply both residential kitchens and restaurant suppliers.

The landscape immediately surrounding Comporta consists of extensive rice paddies—this region supplied European courts with rice for centuries. The Rice Museum in the village documents this heritage and provides context for the agricultural landscape visible from Villa Mira Mar’s terraces. Cycling through these fields on marked paths reveals egrets, herons, and other bird species that use the paddies as hunting grounds, particularly during migration periods in spring and autumn.

Grandola, 12 kilometres inland, serves as the administrative centre for the region and contains a modest castle overlooking agricultural plains. The town hosts weekly markets and several restaurants catering to local workers rather than tourists—authentic Portuguese dining at substantially lower cost than coastal establishments.

The nearest airport is Humberto Delgado Lisbon Airport, approximately 90 kilometres north, accessible by car in roughly 90 minutes via the A2 motorway. Transfer services can be arranged through Excellence Luxury Villas. Alternatively, some guests rent vehicles at the airport, as having a car significantly enhances exploration of the surrounding wine regions, small towns, and coastal villages.

The best months for a Comporta visit are May through September, when temperatures range from 22°C to 28°C and rainfall is minimal. July and August draw larger crowds but offer the warmest swimming conditions. May and September provide superior conditions—warm days, cool evenings, uncrowded beaches, and restaurants operating at full capacity with local rather than transient staff. October remains pleasant with air temperatures around 20°C and occasional warm afternoons. Winter brings rain and coastal storms, making November through March less suitable for beach activities, though this period offers solitude and lower accommodation costs.

Who This Villa Suits Best

The property contains no immediate hazards—no cliff edges, no unfenced water features beyond the pool, no significant road noise.
