Comporta can be deceptive. The white-and-blue buildings appear to be so humble, but sometimes you step inside and find a fashion playground. Lavanda is one of those surprises, stocking an extensive array of women’s, men’s, and children’s garments, accessories, and home goods that are the picture of breezy bohemian luxe.
There are richly textured and toned beach dresses and kaftans, straw bags and hats, classic espadrilles, brightly patterned cushions and throws, candles, understated jewelry, and, of course, impeccably stylish swimsuits. Among the goodies you can find are ethnic-chic dresses from Christophe Sauvat, preppy swim trunks from Scotch & Soda, and bikinis from Odd Molly.
In the late afternoon and evening, the seats out front become a popular gathering spot, with locals and visitors sipping Sagres beneath the umbrellas.
