Built on love and respect for the cultural heritage of the Comporta region, with simplicity and elegance in every detail, QUINTA DA COMPORTA invites you into a deep retreat, where wellness and tranquillity play a leading role.
QUINTA DA COMPORTA is located in one of Portugal’s most secret places, Comporta (Alentejo), where the perfect balance between nature and local lifestyle makes it unique.
Comporta is a space-time-defying place that is still a true reflection of its heritage and its surrounding landscape, tinged with the palette of nature and sublime by the essence of the people who live there.
Nestled on a coastline of endless white sand beaches, between acres of pine trees and lush green rice paddies, the Comporta Nature Reserve is the place to be for those who want to unplug from the rhythm of the city and indulge in the best while enjoying an authentic experience.
DESIGN INFUSED WITH NATURE
QUINTA DA COMPORTA, the author’s project of the architect Miguel Câncio Martins, known throughout the world for his talent to interpret space and turn it into something unique. His design and architecture reflect a passion for bringing together a deep sense of harmony, exclusivity and sophistication.
QUINTA DA COMPORTA, which was a long-awaited dream of Miguel Câncio Martins, is his first authorial project in Portugal, conceived as an authentic embodiment of a local way of life deeply connected to the Comporta Natural Reserve, faithful to its culture in lifestyle, without compromising the highest level of comfort and elegance.
Inspired by the beauty of the environment, the palette of tones is set using the preserved natural materials of the region, such as wood, vine, glass and stone, with decor motifs designed by local craftsmen who have created each space with the utmost authenticity.
The eco-consciousness of the resort is expressed in the use of local materials and artifacts, which the artisans continue to make for real. “Bunho” and “vime”, rattan decorations, handmade wooden furniture, traditional ceramics and tableware from Caldas da Rainha and other carefully selected items are an integral part.

Here simple and seasonal dishes to be enjoyed whilst overlooking Comporta’s breathtaking rice fields.
Rising between Comporta’s rice fields that extend to the Atlantic Ocean and the resort’s own vegetable garden, Mar D’Arrozal takes shape in the form of a local barn, built using recovered wood beams that trace back over a hundred years.

“We are very proud of our herbs, vegetables and fruits grown in our own vegetable garden and in the QUINTA DA COMPORTA garden, which are used in all our dishes, — says Mário. — On more than one and a half acres of land, zucchini, eggplant, bell pepper, beets, coriander, parsley, mint, basil, lemongrass, citrus fruits are grown every season. Moreover, each of our guests, walking in the garden, can enjoy fresh fruits directly from the tree. We also have our olive oil, which is produced especially for us under our name”.

Mário Stromp: “QUINTA DA COMPORTA adheres to the principles of sustainable development, tending to restore pre-existing structures and materials throughout the territory. We opted for a low impact construction concept for the entire resort, with the least impact on the environment. Preserving authenticity with the addition of modernity and luxury was our important criterion so that visitors have as much opportunity as possible to become related to nature, enjoy its beauty, but at the same time get a comfortable stay with all amenities and maximum pleasure.”
