In the decade or so since the pioneering Sublime Comporta opened its doors, other boutique hotels have been sprouting between the rice fields, pine groves, and beach dunes of Comporta. But none has quite matched Sublime’s singular character: the scent of the forest, the elemental appeal of the “Comporta cabana” architecture, the azure sweep of the biological pool that’s shared by a string of suites, and the overall feeling of intimate expansiveness. So it was big news when the hotel […]

The long-anticipated Vermelho Melides hotel by French footwear designer Christian Louboutin is open, and it is as luxurious, gasp-inducing and comfortable as a pair of Louboutin studded stilettos. Vermelho, which means “red” in Portuguese, is a nod to the designer’s iconic color as found in the red-lacquered soles of his shoe collections. That reference, however, is the only association to his fashion roots, as Vermelho Melides stands on its own as an impressive, exclusive boutique hotel nestled into a traditional […]

Nature is the leitmotif of Spatia Comporta, whose rooms are modeled on traditional straw-roofed fisherman’s cabins. It’s a nod to the heritage of the region, while this small hotel embraces contemporary conveniences, such as amenities provided by the well-known beauty brand Maison Codage Paris.

The name Spatia comes from the Latin word for “space,” because there’s plenty of it around the property […]

Sublime Comporta – Luxury Escape near the Alentejo Coast

Ann Abel — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 09:12:30 +0000

Even as the international buzz around Comporta was growing, the area lacked a luxury hotel until Sublime Comporta came along in 2014. The rural retreat has more than lived up to its name from the beginning, and ever since then, it has continued to expand (while remaining intimate), innovate, and evolve. Once the private estate of a prominent Portuguese family, the 17-hectare swath of land is still mostly occupied only with cork trees and umbrella pines. The main building houses […]
