Situated on the Alentejo coast, with an area of over 12.500 ha (31 acres) Herdade da Comporta is one of the largest agricultural estates in Portugal.

It is a place of unique beauty, a place where vibrant colours are exposed by the intense sunlight and the fertile land unhurriedly reveals the best that life has to offer. The sensations, aromas and flavours blend in perfect harmony with the sea breeze and greenness of the forest, a vital environmental and ecological heritage.

Herdade da Comporta ´s Global Development Programme is to create a high quality tourist destination, economically appealing in a location strongly distinguished by its environmental, historical and cultural features.

Herdade da Comporta´s natural qualities are a great starting point for a high quality tourist development. However, the project also aims at rehabilitating and valuing the natural heritage, promoting commercial activity and involving the local community through education, training and encouragement to create economic activities.

The project is based on total respect for the land´s integrity, vastness and simplicity, on a sustainable development and on improving the quality of life of the local population.
