Spatia Comporta

A beautiful resort where one can truly relax in peace & quiet. the facilities are brand new and offer everything one needs including several pools, a state of the art gym and a fantastic kitchen. We enjoyed our stay!

Lovely setting, peace and quiet personified. Stunning location away from the hustle and bustle. Heated pool, nice service, spacious cabana room in amongst the pines.

Let me preface this review by saying we measure the hotels we stay in against the many other exceptional hotels we’ve had the privilege to visit. While we were looking forward to our stay at this hotel based on the reviews, our experience here fell flat. I feel it’s necessary to write this review to share information I would have liked to have known before we booked this place. Since we can’t give half star reviews on Trip Advisor we are rating this a 3, even though it’s closer to a 3.5. We had booked a deluxe room but received a free upgrade to a cabana room, which was appreciated. The room is artistic with beautiful light fixtures. But there are a few strange design choices that made the room less than ideal. - The room smelled very musty. While there are sliding doors, none have screens so we didn’t feel we could air out the room or enjoy the fresh air without inviting in critters. (A reed diffuser or added screen would be an easy fix.) - The cabana rooms are set next to the road used by the golf carts that transport guests so while there’s a nice patio facing a few trees, it does not feel private. - There also isn’t a large seating area in the room (a small table in the corner) and the bed is centered facing the back of the unit. So if you’re sitting on the bed with the shades open to enjoy the trees, other people can see you. (I can confirm that’s the case because I could see into other units that I walked past.) For that reason, it doesn’t feel like you’re privately communing with nature. - There is an outdoor shower next to the unit which we were excited to use only to discover both sides were open making it wholly impractical unless you want to be seen by others while showering. - Possibly because the cabana is a standalone unit there is a very large fire extinguisher and a green exit light that remains lit at night. It made sleeping on that side of the bed difficult. The staff are very kind but lack the training and attention to detail we expect for a hotel of this caliber. For example: - When we arrived , no one greeted us and offered to take our bags from our car. The gentleman at the front kept his eyes on the ground and pretended that we didn’t need help. Of course, when we went inside and checked in and asked someone to help us with our luggage, they obliged. However, we should not have to ask. - When we went to the pool, it was empty except for one other couple. We saw there was an attendant, but he did not approach or speak with us until an hour after we sat down and just said “hello.” - Around 6, we were in our room and someone knocked, presumably to offer turn down service. When we opened the door, a staff member didn’t say anything other than hello, handed us some pillow spray, and some cookies and left. As it happens, we had used the room since checking in (tea cups and towels) and would have appreciated the turn down service. It was not offered that day or the next day. Later, we messaged t

Spatia is located in the most tranquil setting imaginable. The pool was never crowded and the service was fantastic without exception. Tiago was especially welcoming and kind throughout our stay.

Dear Spatia team,💖 Thank you so much for your warm welcome and for taking such good care of us during our stay. We truly felt at home here. Thanks to Tiago for always being so attentive, smiling and present throughout our stay, and to Kiran for his kindness and his delicious cocktails by the pool. And a very special thank you to Alexandra for her kindness, her gentle nature and all her wonderful recommendations from the sardine mission to the incredible horse riding experience, which will remain a memorable part of our stay.🌟 I’m feeling a little under the weather today, so I’m sorry I won’t be able to come and say goodbye to everyone in person. Sending you all a warm goodbye from afar. Thank you again for everything, and see you next year! Warmly, Lamya

The location and outdoor spaces are very nice and are undoubtedly the property's greatest strengths, if you are looking for a place far from everything. Unfortunately, the service fell well below expectations, food was average, service very slow and the way concerns were handled by management was disappointing. Despite the beauty of the setting, the overall guest experience did not receive the level of care and attention one would expect from a property at this price point. Definitely we did not experiment a luxury service. Well, won’t be back.

We stayed in one of the cabanas, which was spacious, spotlessly clean and beautifully designed; a real treat from the moment we walked in. Check-in set the tone for the whole stay: the staff took the car and all our luggage and had everything sorted so quickly that we were completely relaxed within minutes of arriving. The grounds are something else. The scent throughout the property is intense in the best way; pine, lavender, even hints of coffee, chocolate and jasmine drifting through the air wherever you go. You can tell an enormous amount of thought and care has gone into the landscaping and layout. We ate at ŌRA, the on-site restaurant, and while dessert wasn't quite up to the same standard, the steak was excellent and the wine list is a real highlight — we had a gorgeous Syrah from the Douro Valley. We also ventured out to Cavalariça (Michelin-starred) and Sem Porta at Sublime Comporta, both lovely evenings, though honestly we preferred eating at our own hotel. Special mention to the team: a lovely curly-haired lady on reception/concierge, Nitin in the restaurant (chatty and warm), and Bibek, who always had a huge smile and couldn't do enough for us. The adults-only pool was blissfully peaceful, mostly empty, with lovely chilled music playing. We also spent time at Comporta beach and SAL Beach Club, both great, and used the gym daily; genuinely good for a hotel gym. Breakfast deserves its own mention: truly immense, with beautiful fresh fruit, pastries, croissants, fresh juices, eggs and succulent chorizo. It's not a cheap stay, but it's worth every penny — this is rustic luxury done properly, in the middle of a stunning pine forest. Perfect for a couple or a honeymoon-style trip. We didn't want to leave.

The simplicity, elegance and natural beauty of this resort is stunning. Set deep amongst the pine trees and sandy landscape of Comporta, just 10 minutes drive to Carvalhal and it’s upmarket beach clubs, it is a world away from the tourism and crowds of Lisbon and the Algarve. A place to take a deep breath and spend time with family without distractions. We had a 3 bed villa with pool; it was huge, stylishly decorated, with luxurious bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen and utility room. The villa was spotlessly cleaned everyday and every night treats left like cookies and lavender sleep spray. The inclusive breakfast was delicious and extensive and a treat to cycle each morning through the olive and pine trees on the complimentary bikes. The gym gained approval from my gym- loving teenage sons (thank goodness as the surfing in the area was disappointing). There were other activities like beach horse riding, kayaking and paddle boarding and just hanging out at the beach clubs. The resort did not offer a shuttle to the beach so a car is a must. The staff were incredibly helpful and very keen to ensure we had a peaceful week. Thank you Spatia Comporta !
