Just a few sandy footsteps from the shoreline, Villa Campos is Comporta’s closest private residence to the beach, set within a vast 40,000m² estate of wild dunes, olive trees, and whispering pines. Originally a fisherman’s shelter, this serene escape has been sensitively reimagined as a refined family retreat, where barefoot comfort and effortless style meet the rhythm of the Atlantic.

The property unfolds as three interconnected cabanas, each housing warm, whitewashed interiors, soft natural tones, and six suites with private bathrooms. The detached master suite offers a quiet retreat of its own, with a king-size bed, lounge, outdoor shower, and freestanding bath for slow, soothing evenings. At the heart of the villa, the open-plan living space is all about relaxed gatherings, timber accents, sculptural furniture, and a fully equipped kitchen with thoughtful extras like underfloor heating and a professional ice machine.

Step outside and you’re on warm timber decking, surrounded by aromatic jasmine, lavender, and ancient olive trees. Thatched pergolas provide shade for dining or dozing, while the golden sands of Praia do Pêgo lie just 150 metres away. Here, there's no need for a pool, the ocean is your front garden.

• There is no swimming pool, but the is beach so close.
• The bedrooms are split across separate buildings, which offers privacy but may not suit all group dynamics.
• The sandy garden and natural setting are beautiful, though may not suit those seeking manicured lawns.
