A Coastal Sanctuary Near Lisbon, Designed for Serenity

Just a short drive from Lisbon, yet offering a world of tranquility, Comporta captivates with its unique charm and natural beauty. Now, a few miles south, the highly anticipated Pinheirinho coastal estate is poised to redefine luxury with its commitment to mindful design. After years of careful planning, Six Senses, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ expanding Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, has partnered with VIC Properties to create a community that upholds strict aesthetic and sustainability standards.

A Hidden Gem on the Atlantic Coast

For decades, the 400-hectare Pinheirinho estate remained a private retreat, accessible only by invitation and largely preserved as a protected pinewood forest. Now, Six Senses is crafting an exclusive experience with a 70-room hotel and 58 branded residences, seamlessly blending luxury with nature. The vision celebrates harmony—bringing together pristine landscapes, sustainable living, and the renowned Six Senses hospitality.

Guests and residents will immerse themselves in an environment shaped by pine forests, serene lakes, and rolling sand dunes, leading to an endless stretch of golden beach kissed by the Atlantic waves.

A Seamless Connection Between Indoors and Outdoors

From the moment guests arrive, a tranquil oasis welcomes them, setting the stage for a seamless integration of architecture and nature. The hotel’s 66 deluxe rooms and spacious suites extend from the central building, with interconnecting options for families and groups. Three exclusive garden villas and a presidential villa round out the accommodations, ensuring privacy and serenity.

The 58 branded residences—ranging from two- to five-bedroom villas and apartments—reflect their surroundings, whether nestled in the forest, perched on sand dunes, or overlooking a lake. Designed with wellness in mind, these homes incorporate biophilic principles, maximizing natural light, fresh air, and organic materials. Residents enjoy privileged access to hotel amenities, including a vibrant lounge and community gathering spaces.

The Path of Life: A Journey Through Nature and Well-being

More than a walkway, the Path of Life serves as both a sculptural landmark and a spiritual journey. Inspired by sacred geometry, this winding passage encourages mindfulness and inner reflection, guiding visitors through the resort and beyond.

Along this path, a dedicated children’s area offers enriching Grow With Six Senses activities, focusing on holistic wellness. Nearby, the Earth Lab invites guests to participate in sustainability workshops, where eco-friendly practices take center stage. Single-use plastics and harmful chemicals remain absent from every aspect of the estate, ensuring a commitment to conscious living.

Culinary Excellence Rooted in Local Traditions

Dining at Six Senses Comporta brings together guests, residents, and the local community in a shared celebration of flavor and tradition. The main restaurant showcases seasonal ingredients harvested from the on-site vegetable garden, following the Eat With Six Senses philosophy: natural, local, and sustainable.

A poolside bar and grill offer relaxed dining, while al fresco options encourage lingering summer lunches. The wine bar highlights Portugal’s finest vintages, complemented by an innovative menu of cocktails and mocktails. The deli café and market provide fresh, locally sourced ingredients for picnics by the beach or pool. Meanwhile, the Chef’s Table, nestled within the vegetable garden, hosts intimate pop-up events and immersive farm-to-table culinary experiences.

A Haven for Holistic Well-Being

Tucked among towering pines, Six Senses Spa Comporta blends into the landscape with green rooftops and natural materials. The entrance building welcomes guests into a soothing space, while a state-of-the-art gym and yoga studio occupy the upper level.

The spa’s central courtyard serves as a peaceful gathering place, leading to a comprehensive wellness offering, including high-touch therapies, longevity programs, and hydrotherapy experiences. The Alchemy Bar—a signature Six Senses feature—allows guests to create handmade spa products infused with natural ingredients.

Every Moment Well Spent

Life at Pinheirinho moves at its own pace, where the only traffic consists of barefoot cyclists, horseback riders, and the occasional vintage Mini Moke. Mornings begin with yoga at sunrise, followed by kitesurfing or a stroll through the local market. Afternoons unfold with leisurely lunches at the beach club, rounds of golf on the estate’s 18-hole course, or family-friendly activities at the sports center. As the sun sets, boutique shopping, fine dining, and community gatherings bring the night to life.

Nestled along Portugal’s pristine Atlantic coast, Six Senses Comporta at Pinheirinho introduces a new era of luxury, wellness, and sustainable living. Surrounded by pine forests, rolling dunes, and golden beaches, this exclusive retreat offers eco-conscious residences, holistic spa experiences, and farm-to-table dining, creating a perfect balance between nature and modern elegance.

A Vision for Luxury and Sustainability

Six Senses Comporta joins IHG Hotels & Resorts’ fast-growing Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, which already boasts nearly 100 properties across Europe. In Portugal alone, IHG operates 24 hotels, with 13 more in development, including the highly anticipated Kimpton Atlântico Algarve and Kimpton Lisbon.

Rooted in sustainability, wellness, and thoughtful design, Six Senses Comporta promises an extraordinary experience—one where nature and luxury exist in perfect balance.

Announcing the management agreement, Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs said, “Our design approach is about creating spaces that connect people to nature as part of our overall hospitality ethos. Where better to start than by embracing the land’s natural contours of pine forests and sand dunes while drawing on quirks of Comporta, traditions of the Alentejo region, reinterpretation of Portuguese classics, and Six Senses touches that show that luxury doesn’t have to be taken too seriously.”

João Cabaça, co-founder and CEO of VIC Properties, commented, “We are thrilled and honoured to welcome Six Senses to our property in Comporta, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter, reflecting our shared commitment to preserving the rich heritage of this beautiful region. Together we envisioned building a lasting legacy, one that not only respects the land, but also ensures a sustainable future for the estate for generations to come. This is just the start of a journey rooted in respect, authenticity, and connection. We look forward to sharing this unique destination with the world.”
