Overview
An ancient rice farm converted into an architecturally triumphant, super stylish, boutique hotel with sustainability at its core. This design led wellness resort proves you can cater incredibly well to children without the need for a kids club. Everything revolves around the view; a stunning infinity pool surrounded by a picture perfect nature reserve, but the spoiling spa and delicious dining shouldn’t be missed either. Quinta da Comporta is the type of place adults can dress up for dinner in the evening, whilst knowing their kids are welcome too, with a wealth of activities available from family picnics and cooking workshops to cinema screenings and scenic bike rides

Quinta Comporta was perfection from the moment we arrived. They checked us in early and ensured our room was easily accessible with the pram. Each evening they made a special bowl of veggies for Aries and she devoured their homemade bread platter. There’s a play area, great if you have a little one who loves an early start. We used the on site nanny service one evening and we highly recommend checking out Cavalarica Comporta which is just down the road. We loved the hotel so much, we will most certainly be heading back again soon
Worth waking the baby for
01
Carvalhal Beach
Easy breezy Blue Flag Carvalhal is walkable (or cyclable) from Quinta da Comporta. On the sugar white sands you’ll find a handful of restaurants for long lazy lunches and lifeguards to put your mind at ease
02
Sado Estuary Nature Reserve
Drag yourself away from the sea to explore the wild wetlands, home to flamingoes, otters, dolphins and a menagerie of birds. A boat trip is the best way to spot them all
03
Sal Restaurante
Beachfront bliss awaits you at Sal Restaurante on Carvalhal Beach – one of the region’s best stretches of golden sands. A cute little beach bar sitting atop of the dunes serving fresh seafood and local wine
Reviews from other parents
We stayed in a one bedroom townhouse, which had ample room for the four of us. We loved having the flexibility of self catering and the beautiful terrace. Upstairs there was a large bedroom and ensuite bathroom complete with a tub. My 4 year old slept downstairs on the sofa bed and the baby was up with us. We actually put him in the bathroom - which sounds odd but it was giant and meant we could have our own space after he’d gone to sleep. Food here is all about simple locally sourced produce done well. Highchairs were readily available and purees provided for the baby. There are lots of amazing restaurants in the local area. We highly recommend Sublime Comporta (make sure you book in advance for a lunch time sitting) and Comporta Cafe for a sunset dinner on the beach. Bikes are available at the hotel (with baby seats attached) and there are some incredible beaches within easy reach - Praia da Comporta and Carvalhal were two favourites. I would also recommend hiring a car and catching the ferry to Setúbal for the day. My husband and daughter rode horses along the beach there. It was magical
