What to do in Comporta

Comporta is one of its few timeless places. Located in one of the most beautiful regions of Portugal, the Alentejo, the village of Comporta is surrounded by rice fields, dunes and the ocean. Initially a fishing village, the village has developed to create its own style, while keeping its charm of yesteryear. Its architecture, its nature and its inhabitants have kept their authenticity and softness. Today, Comporta is also a far destination for design enthusiasts because each shop, each restaurant and each place is thought out in every detail to be of a high standard and in harmony with the rest.

Formerly a fishing village. Today Comporta offers a cultural and outdoor experience without equal in Portugal.
Whether it is its majestic rice fields overhung by the flight of storks or its beaches as far as the eye can see hidden behind dunes, the beauty of Comporta is breathtaking.

Comporta is surrounded by rice paddies, the ocean, sand dunes and pine forests. It’s a unique place, where you can connect with nature and live in the moment. To some people, the fishing cabins on stilts conjure up images of Asia, whilst for others, the magnificent white-sand beaches bordering the ocean evoke the Hamptons, but Comporta has a rhythm and an ambience that are all its own.
This wild place has long been kept secret by regular visitors, who appreciate the ‘tranquilidade’ of this distinctive region. And although spending holidays here is becoming more and more ‘trendy’, make no mistake – Comporta isn’t the new Ibiza. This is the epitome of slowness and simplicity ; a little corner of paradise, suspended between the ocean and the rice paddies.

Tradition and simplicity reign supreme in the villages of the region. The buildings fit together harmoniously and despite the growth of a few hotels in Comporta, the villagers can still be found in the same cafés they have always frequented. There are no legions of tourists, and no nightclubs. What you can find is the authenticity and easy living of Portugal.
