Sublime Comporta is a nature retreat nestled in a stunning 17-hectare estate, surrounded by pine and cork trees, wild dunes, rice fields and white-sand beaches as far as the eye can see.
The hotel offers different accommodation options spread between several buildings. Choose from the Owner's House, the Guest Suites, the Bio-Pool Suites, and several two to five-bedroom cabana-style villas. The architecture draws inspiration from the style of the cabanas in the village of Comporta, inhabited by local farmers and fishermen.
Each villa has a swimming pool, and there are another four swimming pools in the resort, including one for children and a heated indoor pool in the spa. We had a lovely time at our villas' and main outdoor pools. We were surprised by the expansive grounds, allowing everyone at Sublime Comporta to have a nice quiet private time.
The nearby white-washed village of Comporta might be small in size, but it's high in quality, with excellent gastronomy and some nifty little boutique shops.
Awesomeness
The wonderful pine-scented air.
The complimentary bikes are a fun way to explore the grounds and get around.
Sublime’s Organic Garden grows over 300 varieties of herbs, vegetables and edible flowers. It supplies Sublime’s three restaurants and the spa’s essential oils.
Eco concerns are serious, with solar panels, reusable wastewater systems, a biological pool and Tesla charging points.
Comporta is a 90-minute drive from Lisbon, although it feels a world away.
Bear in Mind
Accommodation options in Comporta are few (Sublime was the first hotel to open in the area), and rates are high for Portuguese standards. In our opinion, some of the fitness fees are excessive.
The breakfast room felt a little busy when we visited. The buffet is great but we regret not having ordered breakfast on our cabin’s terrace overlooking the forest.
Sublime offers a shuttle bus to the beach, but having a car is highly recommended.
