Comporta and Melides, in Portugal, have become favorite locations for luxury projects, attracting investors and tourists looking for an exclusive getaway. This region, with its golden sandy beaches, clear waters and almost untouched nature, retains a rustic charm that harmonizes perfectly with sophisticated architectural projects. The growing demand for this paradisiacal refuge is due not only to its serenity and natural beauty, but also to the authenticity of its environment, which blends sophistication and simplicity. This growth in the real estate market has made Comporta and Melides one of the most coveted destinations for second homes and luxury retreats in Europe.

The latest development is Six Senses, the prestigious hotel brand in the IHG Hotels & Resorts portfolio, which announced the opening of a new development at Herdade do Pinheirinho in mid-March 2025.

Six Senses is being installed at Herdade do Pinheirinho, in Comporta, consolidating the region as a high-end destination, combining the tranquillity of the Alentejo coast with high-quality services.

This high-end resort will feature 66 rooms and suites, as well as sophisticated independent villas attached to the central building, including three Garden Villas and an exclusive Presidential Villa. The project also includes 58 private residences, ranging from apartments to houses with two to five bedrooms. With a deep focus on well-being and biophilia, these residences have been designed to integrate harmoniously into the landscape, taking advantage of natural light, the environment and natural textures, according to information from the developer.
