Sublime Comporta

This luxury Portuguese boutique has just 14 guest rooms and suites; five of which are located in the main building, while the remaining nine are in a separate property a stone's throw away. All rooms are bright and spacious with floor to ceiling windows and private balconies. The décor is contemporary with white and grey colour schemes and minimalist furnishings.

Sublime's restaurant is an elegant, open plan affair which serves a refreshing Mediterranean menu, with many ingredients being sourced from the hotel's organic garden. The food isn't as heavy as other popular Portuguese dishes but they are by no means less delicious. It is the sort of place where you can expect fresh pastries at breakfast, local cheeses daily and a fantastic wine selection from neighbouring Alentejo vineyards.

Hidden by pine trees and positioned by one of the cleanest and most undisturbed beaches in Europe, Sublime really is the ideal getaway choice. The nature of the place is unhurried, with days spent lounging on the beach, sampling fresh seafood and going on peaceful walks. Back at the property there is a large outdoor swimming pool and fully equipped Spa to entertain any committed fly and flopper.
