Sublime Comporta

Top choice in The Alentejo


One of Portugal's top sleeps, Sublime stays true to its name, revamping a former rice-storing warehouse tucked away in a dramatic landscape of cork trees and umbrella pines surrounded by sand dunes, rice fields and vineyards. Its 22 environmentally unobtrusive, pinewood villas cradle 76 rooms steeped in luxurious furnishings with massive windows that frame the cinematic surroundings.

An outstanding spa (featuring all-organic Amala products complimented with aromatic herbs from its organic garden as well as local rice and sea salt) and one of the country's sexiest pools beckon multiday getaways here. It's 14.7km south of the village.
