Comporta and Melides 2027–2029: The Schedule for Hotel Openings

For a long time, Comporta consisted of just three things: a sandy road, rice paddies, and a few wooden huts nestled among the pine trees. The coast still looks much the same, but it’s filling up with new spots. Between 2027 and 2029, six announced hotels are set to open between Comporta and Melides: Na Praia, JNcQUOI Club, and Monte da Praia in 2027, ASerra and Six Senses in 2028, and Park Hyatt in 2029. One clarification, however, before we get into the details: all these dates are tentative. Construction can be delayed, and plans can be revised. We’ll update this article as needed.

A Quick Look at the Schedule of Hotel Openings in Comporta

2027: The First Openings

Na Praia, scheduled to open on May 1, 2027

Reservations are now open for Na Praia, the second hotel by José António Uva, the man behind São Lourenço do Barrocal in the Alentejo. The estate spans 340 hectares, stretching between the Atlantic Ocean and the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, just over an hour from Lisbon.

With its 63 family homes, the message is clear: people come here with their children to stay for several days. The architecture, designed by Studio KO, incorporates earth, clay, and wood. The spa, meanwhile, is carved into the dunes around a central pool.

When it comes to dining, four spots are featured: Casa Na Praia, which is a bakery, delicatessen, and wine bar all in one (with over 5,000 wines), Zimbro, located under a century-old tree, Mais Sol for light meals by the beach, and MOGO, Chef João Rodrigues’s restaurant, overlooking the dunes.

JNcQUOI Club Comporta, a hotel that feels like a club

JNcQUOI is a Lisbon-based brand founded by Miguel Guedes de Sousa. In Comporta, it is developing a 164-hectare project featuring 34 hotel villas. Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen has designed low-rise structures made of pigmented concrete, terracotta, and cork, some topped with green roofs. Vladimir Djurovic is overseeing the landscaping, and the project is aiming for BREEAM certification.

Life here will revolve around a clubhouse featuring three restaurants, two bars, a wine cellar, a cigar lounge, and a spa. An 18-hole golf course is planned, as well as access to the beach through the dunes, notably to the Praia do Pego beach club. The opening is scheduled for 2027, though no specific month has been announced.

Monte da Praia, the hidden gem in Melides

In Melides, a little further south, Monte da Praia capitalizes on the intimacy of a secluded location. It is set to be a boutique hotel featuring suites and private villas, each with its own terrace and outdoor Japanese bath (ofurô). It will feature a Wellness House with a hammam, jacuzzi, heated pool, and massage room, as well as a restaurant specializing in Alentejo cuisine and seafood. A trail winds through the dunes to Aberta Nova Beach. The first guests are expected in 2027.

2028: Melides and Pinheirinho Shift into High Gear

ASerra, Philippe Starck’s signature project in the Serra de Grândola

Here, we’re moving away from the beach and into the hills. ASerra is being built on 85 hectares near Melides, with an opening scheduled for the second quarter of 2028. Renowned designer Philippe Starck has designed the interiors of 25 standalone suites, each approximately 70 m² with a 90 m² terrace (twelve of which feature a private pool), as well as 22 villas intended for extended stays. The development promises “farm-to-table” dining with a vegetable garden, a large café-grocery store, a spa, a yoga shala, tennis and padel courts, and workshops (painting, pottery, sculpture, and cooking).

Six Senses Comporta, the project furthest along

If we’re looking for the most credible date, this is probably it. The cornerstone was laid in May 2026, when sales of the residences began. Six Senses, a brand of the IHG Group, will open in 2028 on the Pinheirinho estate: more than 400 hectares of pine forest and dunes in Grândola, south of Comporta.

The plan calls for 66 rooms and suites, three garden villas, a presidential villa, and 58 branded residences. The design has been entrusted to the London-based studio Michaelis Boyd, known for the Soho Farmhouse. Highlights include a farm-to-table restaurant, a Chef’s Table in the heart of the vegetable garden, a spa spread across three dune-shaped buildings, horseback riding, kitesurfing, and an 18-hole golf course.

2029: The Park Hyatt, the first major hotel brand on the Tróia coast

The announcement was made on August 25, 2026: Hyatt and the Portuguese developer Coporgest will open in 2029 the country’s first Park Hyatt, at the Comporta Beach Resort, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, on a site of approximately six hectares. The resort will feature 58 rooms and suites, six two-bedroom villas, 22 residences, several swimming pools, a wellness center, a padel court, a kids’ club, and several restaurants. The 18-hole Tróia golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., is located right next door. However, a word of caution: Hyatt is still fine-tuning its offerings, and the group is mentioning an opening in 2029 without specifying a month.

How These Openings Are Changing the Destination

A move upmarket and new brands

Until now, Comporta has mainly featured small, intimate establishments. With Six Senses and Park Hyatt, two major international groups are setting up shop on the coast. Around the hotels, branded residences, golf courses, and clubs are also springing up. The scale of the coast is changing, even though each project is presented as discreet and integrated into the landscape.

Preserving the spirit of the place

None of this can be built just anywhere. The Sado Estuary is a nature reserve, and the Tróia Peninsula is a protected area, which severely limits construction. Project developers all talk about native vegetation, local materials, and low-rise buildings. What gives Comporta its soul, in fact, comes down to just a few things: the rice paddies that change color with the seasons, the stilt huts at Carrasqueira Harbor, and the slow pace of daily life.

Hotel, house, or cabin: choosing your stay

Right next to the hotel, there’s another way to experience the coast: a house or a cabin, complete with a terrace, pine trees, and a kitchen—all at your own pace. That’s what we offer with Espirito da Comporta. Browse our houses and cabins, or let our experiences inspire you to fill your days with unforgettable memories.
