About this property
Prepare to be wowed during your stay at Palm House. A feast for the eyes, this stylish multi building villa in Comporta, Portugal, is a design lover’s dream.
Unique and luxurious are two words that describe Palm House perfectly. With elegant design choices and one-of-a-kind outdoor spaces, the home promises an indulgent and relaxing retreat that large groups will love.
Bright communal spaces blend the indoors and outdoors together, thanks to an eye-catching and cleverly designed roof and walls. Here, you can unwind with loved ones, cosying up around the fireplace centerpiece on the artsy living room sofa, or enjoy a delicious meal in one of the tasteful dining areas.
We love the use of original art and furnishings that bring these group spaces to life, tying together the unique construction and the stunning natural materials surrounding Comporta.
Cook up a feast in the sleek kitchen - culinary wizards will be treated to an enviable cooking experience, complete with plenty of countertop space and a modern kitchen island that draws attention to the room’s noteworthy ceiling.
Palm House sleeps up to 12 guests across six bedrooms and has six bathrooms too. Each of the bedrooms is individually designed, blending neutral colours with splashes of colour and interesting art for an inviting and relaxing feel. Sliding doors lead out onto the peaceful patio from every room. The gorgeous bathrooms feature large, walk-in showers too.
There are so many places to put your feet up and unwind throughout Palm House. The home is spread across multiple buildings, separated into communal and sleeping areas, and each offers a choice of chairs, soft seating, loungers and daybeds to blissfully see the day away.
The covered daybed area is an ideal place to enjoy a sheltered escape from the sunshine, while still getting the benefits of the warm Portuguese weather. Head down to the designer swimming pool, nestled in a peaceful corner of the palm-lined villa grounds, for a refreshing dip or to relax on the stylish sun beds.
Despite being just a 1 hour and 15-minute drive from the capital of Lisbon, Comporta is a hidden gem in the Alentejo region that combines the lure of the coast with countryside living. While many simply embark on a road trip to the village when staying in Lisbon or one of the nearby resort towns, over the years, Comporta has grown in popularity with holidaymakers looking to stay exclusively in the area. The village invites visitors to step away from the bustle of city life, and embrace a more relaxed atmosphere.
This secret paradise has gained attention from celebrities, seeking an uninterrupted escape and peaceful holiday. Comporta is uniquely located between rice paddies and the Atlantic Ocean. The white-sand beaches and fishing cabins are iconic to this area of Portugal, prompting a slow and tranquil pace of life.
Make no mistake though - despite the absence of hoards of tourists and thumping nightclubs, there is still so much to see and do in Comporta and the surrounding area.
The epic waves make surfing by the vast beaches a popular activity, while restaurants and cafes offer an authentic taste of Portuguese cuisine. Foodies won’t want to leave without sampling the black pig meat, an Alentejo speciality that is used in many of the local dishes.
The land is also rich in wine and olive production thanks to the nearby Alqueva dam. Spend some time visiting the numerous vineyards surrounding Comporta, and pick up a souvenir or two.
Of course, the rice paddies neighbouring Comporta make the grain a local delicacy. When paired with fresh seafood plucked from the Atlantic coast, you have a range of mouthwatering meals to try.
Continue to look to the seas and you may even catch sight of dolphins, creatures well-known for gracing the area with their elegant beauty. Explore the Sado estuary in a catamaran for a greater chance of spotting them, alongside other marine life.
You can also explore the pine forests or do a spot of shopping in the local boutiques in the village, with many products made from Comporta’s famed cork oak.
Beyond Comporta, the capital city of Lisbon is easily reachable via car or train and a highly recommended day trip. Just 20 minutes drive south of Comporta is the charming town of Melides, home to picturesque blue-painted houses, a covered market, and the breathtaking Melides Lagoon. Neighbouring Comporta, and again just a 10-15 minute drive, is Troia, an area that boasts one of the best golf courses in Europe and a marina that is perfect for windsurfing and sailing.
