SIX SENSES COMPORTA, PORTUGAL TO OPEN IN 2028
Set to open in 2028, Six Senses Comporta promises to be a retreat like no other—where nature, wellness, and effortless elegance come together in perfect harmony.
Tucked away on Portugal’s wild and untamed Atlantic coastline, Comporta is a sanctuary of understated luxury, where golden dunes, pine forests, and tranquil lakes stretch towards the horizon. A world apart from the bustling streets of Lisbon, yet just a short drive away, this unspoiled retreat embodies serenity and sophistication. Now, a new chapter unfolds with Six Senses Comporta, set within the breathtaking Pinheirinho coastal estate—a project years in the making that will redefine mindful design and sustainable living.
The Undiscovered Beauty of Pinheirinho
For decades, the 400-hectare Pinheirinho estate remained a hidden treasure, accessible only by invitation, with much of its landscape protected as a pristine nature reserve. Soon, it will welcome discerning travelers and homeowners seeking an immersive escape that harmonizes with its surroundings. In an exciting partnership, Six Senses and VIC Properties have come together to craft a 70-key hotel and 58 private residences, setting new standards in holistic and sustainable hospitality.
A Seamless Integration with Nature
The design philosophy of Six Senses Comporta is rooted in the natural landscape, seamlessly blending its architecture with the region’s fragrant pine forests, undulating dunes, and endless Atlantic views. The resort’s deluxe guest rooms and suites will be housed in the central wings, with interconnecting options for families and larger groups. Three exclusive garden villas and a grand presidential villa will offer unparalleled privacy and comfort.
For those looking to make this paradise their home, the 58 branded residences will provide a range of two- to five-bedroom villas and apartments, categorized into Forest, Sand Dune, and Lake retreats. Each residence is designed to reflect its surroundings, incorporating natural light, air, and organic textures to foster an atmosphere of peace and wellbeing.
Path of Life: A Journey of Mindful Living
At the heart of the resort lies the Path of Life, a thoughtfully designed experience based on sacred geometry, inviting guests on a journey of physical, mental, and spiritual discovery. Winding through the estate, this pathway offers moments of reflection, tranquility, and connection with nature.
Alongside it, the Grow With Six Senses children’s area will provide engaging, nature-based activities for young explorers, while the Earth Lab will host eco-friendly workshops that reinforce sustainable living practices. From garden-to-table dining to plastic-free policies, sustainability is more than a concept here—it’s a way of life.
A Culinary Experience Rooted in Nature
Dining at Six Senses Comporta will be a celebration of seasonality, locality, and simplicity. The main restaurant will highlight fresh ingredients sourced from the on-site vegetable garden, following the Eat With Six Senses philosophy, where chefs embrace the principles of organic, sustainable, and minimally processed cuisine.
For more casual dining, a poolside grill will offer light fare, while the wine bar will spotlight the region’s best winemakers, serving a selection of cocktails and mocktails infused with local flavors. The deli café and market will provide fresh produce for picnics, while the Chef’s Table, set amidst the vegetable garden, will host exclusive pop-up events and cooking workshops.
A Retreat Within a Retreat: Six Senses Spa Comporta
Nestled beneath a canopy of towering pines, Six Senses Spa Comporta will be a sanctuary of high-touch, high-tech wellness. Its green-roofed buildings will seamlessly integrate with the landscape, housing a state-of-the-art gym, yoga studio, and a thermal circuit complete with indoor/outdoor pools, steam rooms, saunas, and hydrotherapy facilities.
A signature Alchemy Bar will provide a unique hands-on experience, where guests can create their own spa products using locally sourced botanicals. Whether indulging in ancient healing rituals or cutting-edge longevity therapies, wellness at Six Senses Comporta is designed to nourish the body and soothe the soul.
Every Day, Well Spent
Life at Six Senses Comporta will follow the rhythm of the tides, where lazy mornings turn into long afternoons of sun, sand, and sea. A day might begin with sunrise yoga, followed by kitesurfing on the Atlantic rollers, a leisurely beach club lunch, or a round of golf on the 18-hole course. Evenings will come alive with boutique shopping, wine tastings, and alfresco dining under the stars.
With minimal traffic, the pace here is set by bicycles, horseback riders, and vintage Mini Mokes weaving through the sun-dappled trails. Six Senses Comporta promises an escape that is both effortlessly luxurious and deeply connected to nature.
A Vision for the Future
As part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, Six Senses Comporta will join an elite collection of properties across Europe, further expanding IHG’s presence in Portugal. The development aligns with a broader vision of sustainable luxury, proving that mindful living and high-end hospitality can go hand in hand.
João Cabaça, CEO of VIC Properties, shared his excitement, stating: “This is just the start of a journey rooted in respect, authenticity, and connection. We look forward to sharing this unique destination with the world.”
Likewise, Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs emphasized the brand’s commitment to creating spaces that seamlessly integrate with nature: “Luxury doesn’t have to be taken too seriously—here, it’s about embracing the land’s natural beauty while honoring Comporta’s traditions and the spirit of the Alentejo region.”
