Are you still going to vacation spots with nothing new or refreshing to offer?! It’s high time for you to pack your bags and run for the spectacular European beach town of Comporta. A tiny village on the Tróia peninsula, this under-the-radar gem is most often compared with everything from Uruguay to Ibiza to St. Tropez. However, don’t expect the glitz or glamour here. The 18 miles of beach paradise is just the indefinable Comporta bliss- the peaceful pace of life, the delicious cuisine, the Atlantic serenity, and the never-ending freedom.
If you are still looking for reasons to visit this holidaymaker’s heaven, then here are some things that make Portugal’s Comporta the perfect beach retreat for your next vacation.
Gorgeous pristine beaches
Comporta owes its laidback beauty to the sandy roads, rice fields, and the most beautiful dune-backed beaches. With its endless expanse of sand, glass-topped dunes, and iridescent sea, the Comporta coastline is nothing short of untamed paradise. The big waves and the calm sunsets can restore the magic in anyone. Praia da Comporta is one part of the spectacular coastline and forms a portion of the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve. This means that the beach and its dune vegetation are kept in their original beauty.
Elegant stays and rentals
The place you chose to stay is a factor that can directly affect your vacation. If you are going to Comporta, you don’t need to worry too much about that. From luxurious, modern beach houses to cheap and chic traditional home, you can easily find the perfect place to stay in this secret paradise. If you are looking for a place to take time and enjoy the magnificent landscapes, then Alma da Comporta offers peaceful, charming villas and houses for rent. With the stunning typical architecture of the area and location close to the beach, their rentals are the ideal choice to sit back and enjoy the magnificent landscapes.
Fabulous dining
Comporta’s whitewashed and terracotta-roofed cafes may look plain at first glance. But these dining institutions house some of the most sophisticated, luxurious restaurants, churning out brilliant mouthwatering dishes. For those who are looking for casual beachside dining, Comporta gives you plenty of options for that as well. With an array of both traditional rice dishes and modern seafood cuisines served with local wines, your dining experience in this magical beach town will be truly memorable.
Stunning boutiques
The calmness and tranquillity of Comporta are also reflected in its stores. Visit the boutiques and bazaars during your free time and this small wild paradise is sure to surprise you even more. You will, without a doubt, find something that always reminds you of the wonderful times you had here. Unfortunately, there are some boutiques that open only during summer. So, do keep that in mind while planning your trip.
Never-ending adventures
Comporta is not just about laying back and relaxing all the time. If you are a thrillseeker, then there are many adventurous activities that you can do while you stay here. Most of these adventures are centered around the sea. You get a horseback ride from the rice paddy to the beach, learn surfing from one of the surf schools, or rent bicycles and explore the place. The possibilities are endless.
