To arrive in Comporta is to arrive in one of the finest locations on the Portuguese coast. Just an hour’s drive from Lisbon, Comporta has some of the country’s best beaches, where the golden sand, crystal clear sea and green hills that stretch into the horizon make the ideal setting for relaxation.

Although only a few short kilometers from the hustle and bustle of the big city, life in Comporta moves at a slower pace, there is no noise, the landscape is hypnotic. If only you could stop time to properly take it all in.

EXPERIENCE COMPORTA AND AROUND

BEACHES

The Comporta region boasts some of Portugal’s most breathtaking beaches, and some of Europe’s most unspoiled coastline.

Along 40 kilometres of endless sand, from Troia to Melides, there are beaches to suit everyone. For celebrity watching, try the best known beaches, with their mood music, water sports and restaurants offering refreshments and meals for a body-conscious clientele. Or there are deserted beaches, far from the crowds, slightly harder to reach but well worth the effort, where you will have the experience all to yourself.

But from the fashionable to the unknown, all the beaches share the same clear turquoise water, the golden sand stretching into the distance, an unforgettable seascape framed by the Arrábida hills and the pine woods and scrubland behind the dunes.

All the official Costa Azul beaches fly the Blue Flag and have Gold Quality Standard Awards.

The beaches featured here are just a sample of the many possibilities. Ask your Spatia host to help you plan your beach days.

GASTRONOMY

Comporta is a region with a strong gastronomic identity. Local produce leaves us spoiled for choice. The sandy Troia peninsula is geographically part of the estuary of the River Sado. In recent years, the estuary’s waters have been cleaned and restored to their natural glory, and are home today to dolphins and oyster farms. The wetlands to the south are home to vast paddy fields. Just to the north, Sesimbra is one of Portugal’s prime fishing harbours. Inland, the fertile land between the Sado and the Tagus have been one of Europe’s legendary farming regions since before the Romans. The local wines, arable produce, fruit and vegetables are second to none. The pastures of the Alentejo produce Iberia’s finest pork and lamb.

All this and more is yours to enjoy in the region’s restaurants. Aromatic rice dishes, the freshest fish and seafood, organic meat and vegetables are just some of what Comporta has to offer. Variety, healthy options and simple luxuries mean you’ll always find something new to enjoy.

  • Dona Bia is a must do when visiting Comporta. It is conveniently located on the EN 261 on your way to Comporta, and near the turn off to Praia Torre.

  • (they do not accept reservations!) with a simple decoration that pays tribute to the region, its main purpose is to serve good traditional dishes in a family atmosphere. While choosing, pay attention to the wine selection, with good offers from the Setúbal Peninsula, and the excellent and unusual supply of whiskeys.

  • The menu has other suggestions, but it would be sacrilege to go through this restaurant and not go through the ex-libris of the house: the famous roast duck with kid's rice. Whole, half or in individual doses, arrives at the table with a hallucinating speed. In the Tia Rosa restaurant there are other delicacies worthy of memory, especially the roasted ones, such as the kid or the codfish, and, at the right time, a magnificent eel stew, which ends up making the choice more difficult.

    Location: Melides

    Closing days: Tuesday

  • It is in an old building, where many have learned the alphabet, and to remember those times, right at the entrance, a huge blackboard informs of the menu of the day. Pass with distinction the proof of the wild rabbit pie accompanied by pine nuts rice. Other alternatives in the restaurant are fried eels with tomato rice and partridge in the púcara. Take a look, without cheating, at the wine cellar, with good proposals and prices.
