This vivid new villa shines like a diamond from its rugged Mediterranean lot of pine and olive trees and aromatic shrubbery.

A Vivid Coastal Villa Cloaked in Comporta Pines

A duo of multilevel structures connected by a pool courtyard and boardwalks, this vivid new villa shines like a diamond from its rugged Mediterranean lot of pine and olive trees and aromatic shrubbery. With an independent apartment, this villa for rent in Portugal is ideal for multigenerational travel, or a stay with staff or independent teens.

Bold, boxy terraces and generous French picture windows finish this newly constructed, geometric villa that's only minutes from the beach. The property stairsteps across stacked volumes, and most rooms are flanked by outdoor terraces overlooking a central pool. The home’s many outdoor living zones are accented by fireplaces or built-in seating, connected by wooden boardwalks that lead around the pool in the direction of the tennis court or secluded sand pit seating area. At the villa’s heart, a double-height living room enclosed in glass offers cool, modular furnishings and huge operable windows that open out to a rural lot insulated by stands of pine and olive.

AROUND

South facing on its 12-hectare estate, this villa for rent in Portugal rises from the sand in rural Muda, only a 5-10 minute drive to the golden sands of Carvalhal and Pego. Hip global nomads have marked coastal Comporta, in Portugal’s Alentejo, as their new favorite playground, riding in on the coattails of fashion designers, international architects, entrepreneurial urbanites, and modern art collectors. This mostly unspoiled region is undeniably beautiful, a landscape of vineyards and cork oak fields, unexpected rice paddies and groves of glinting olive and citrus trees. Blue and yellow striped, cobble-street villages are watched over by huge stork’s nests, and the region has historically been more agricultural than touristy. Comporta is well loved for its easygoing elegance and trendy artisanal boutiques, lively galleries and handful of cute cafes. Nearby Melides is also a favorite of design-conscious shoppers who delight in the burgeoning selection of galleries, studio/workshops, and carefully curated boutiques.

A land of decided contrasts, the destination still offers simple coastal cafes that sizzle with the sound of grilled sardines or locally-caught eel. Lovers of the laid-back and rugged will thrill with the region’s rolling surf and its golden sandy stretches extending for miles—beaches known for their big, rolling waves backed by rugged cliffs and bluffs.
