Casa da Baleia is a spacious and beautiful beach villa totaling 268 sq metres and offering a relaxed vibe, perfect for holiday get-togethers with family or friends, just 10 minutes walk away to Praia do Pego. Both Pego and Carvalhal beaches (also nearby), host a  surf school facility.

Set within peaceful and secluded grounds, the villa is made up of a couple of traditional cabana-style buildings with beamed ceilings and thatched roofs, sitting atop raised sand dunes planted with lush flowering shrubs, indigenous grasses and shady trees. The property is located inside a private condominium.

The interiors include many marine elements, enhancing the owner’s love of the ocean. There are light shades made of lobster traps and a sperm whale jawbone takes pride of place on the main sitting room wall; whilst the opposite wall has a custom-painted fresco highlighting the ochres, beiges and soft brown colours typical of Comporta.

The property has a smart TV and Wi-Fi is available throughout. Ceiling/electric fans are available in all the main rooms and there is mosquito netting on all the windows. There are also several bikes, yoga mats and table tennis available for guests to use.

Decked pathways run all around the property and between pines, fig and olive trees with a charming swimming pool which can be heated on request and a decked terrace, framed by the lush landscaped garden. Here and there, there are serene spots to just sit and chill-out with a book or a glass of chilled regional white wine!

Comporta’s spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed with a local bottle of wine at a local beach bar and there are a number of restaurants and bars nearby you can walk to. The area is also great for exploring by bike and there is a surf school at Carvalhal beach, or you can go horse riding at “Cavalos na Areia”. Comporta village with its hippy-chic shops and a wider range of restaurants is located 11 kms drive away.

Another village to visit is Melides (15 minutes’ drive) which offers a handful of eateries, cafés, artisans’ shops, a charming church square and a market to meander through. Whilst the brand-new boutique hotel designe by Christian Louboutin features both a bar and a restaurant open to the public – a special treat to add to your holiday.
