Joana at Vermelho Melides, a five-star boutique hotel in Melides handpicked by JO&SO

Comporta and Melides, located along Portugal’s Alentejo coast, are known for their natural beauty. A 90-minute drive from Lisbon, this region offers windswept beaches, pine forests, rice paddies, and a relaxed pace of life.

While Comporta has gained a reputation for attracting an international crowd of artists, designers, and travellers seeking a low-key escape, Melides offers a quieter, equally picturesque alternative. Nestled slightly further south, Melides is still relatively off the radar but is slowly gaining attention. Among its admirers is Christian Louboutin, who has built Vermelho Melides, a boutique hotel in the heart of the village that reflects his distinctive artistic vision and love for the region. Read our exclusive interview with Mr. Louboutin here.

Together, Comporta and Melides balance simplicity with thoughtful design and a connection to nature. In recent years, boutique hotels have begun to emerge, bringing together contemporary comforts with the traditional architectural style of the region—think thatched roofs, wooden structures, and muted tones.

Here, we’ve selected six of the best boutique hotels in Comporta and Melides, ranging from a five-star wellness retreat surrounded by rice paddies to architect-designed holiday homes set in Melides’ rolling hills.

Vermelho is a five-star boutique hotel located in the village of Melides in the Alentejo. It's the brainchild of designer Christian Louboutin who first fell in love with Melides over a decade ago. Entering through Vermelho's age-worn wooden doors feels like stepping into an art gallery adorned with the designers' eclectic collection of antiques, curious objects and art. Each of the 13 rooms has been individually designed, providing a touch of Portuguese craftsmanship that makes it truly special. There are plenty of areas to unwind, such as the colourful gardens, a heated pool, the Indian Lounge, the excellent Restaurant XTian led by Chef David Abreu, and the adjacent hammered silver leaf Vermelho Bar.
