Effortless, laid-back, and deeply connected with nature, Sublime Comporta – with its restaurants, spa, and now its beach club – helped put the Portuguese hotspot of Comporta on the map, but it feels as fresh as ever nearly five years on. The new Sublime Comporta Beach Club was the talk of the town (and the talk of Lisbon) last summer, and for very good reason. With its location between the dunes and the waves, its indoor-outdoor layout, and its rustic-chic interior design, it quickly became the spot for leisurely lunches and sublime sunsets.
