In its new retreat, “luxury means space, privacy and the freedom to set the pace of each day.” The interiors were all inspired by the natural landscape, bringing to the 16 villas, from two to five bedrooms, a private pool, and combining “relaxed elegance with the intimacy of a home and the care of a dedicated team.

In these villas, it will be possible to go on a “swim before breakfast”, to have “a leisurely meal on the terrace”, or to enjoy “an afternoon between the beach and the peaceful surroundings of the pool.” In a press release, Ando Living Comporta states that each stay is meant to accommodate every guest’s needs, being the right place to have a relaxing time with family or friends.

William Tonnard, President and COO of Ando Living, in the same press release mentions that “in Comporta, luxury is closely connected to the freedom to have time and space for ourselves. We want our guests to feel they have a home here, with privacy, comfort and a team that understands their preferences and discreetly takes care of the details. This combination of independence and attentive support, deeply rooted in the destination, is what defines the Ando Living experience.”

A unique architecture

CHP Arquitetos designed the architecture, and the project features Arab-inspired motifs, “with façades in earthy and sandy tones that blend into the landscape of umbrella pines.” The project also features “Clean-lined volumes and simple, functional layouts that create spacious interiors where natural light follows the changing rhythms of the day.”

The large areas of glazing make the living areas feel extended outdoors, which creates a “seamless connection between the home, its terraces and nature.”

Inside each villa, there are “equipped kitchens and welcoming dining areas”, with the spaces being design to share moments or for a “quiet retreat”.

Locally inspired interiors

Ando Living mentions that, to decorate the interior, the landscape was the starting point, with the design being developed by Camille Wanecq, Creative Director of Ando Living, in collaboration with Margarida Feio, founder of Maggie Interiores.

Inspired by the dunes, sand and vegetation, all those natural features had an impact in “the choice of colours, textures and materials, creating a serene atmosphere and a relaxed elegance in keeping with the spirit of the region.”

“Comporta already has such a strong identity. It wasn’t about imposing a style, it was about listening to the landscape,” explains Margarida Feio, quoted in the press release. “We wanted to create spaces that feel timeless rather than trend-led, filled with pieces that celebrate texture and craftsmanship and invite people to slow down.”

“At Ando Living, we design around how people live, not just how a space looks. We think about how guests will spend their time: cooking, eating together, relaxing, working or enjoying the outdoor spaces,” says Camille Wanecq.

Unique service

When arriving to their villas, guests can find “a selection of Portuguese products”, as well as “recommendations from the team and a complimentary hamper for their first breakfast”, making the first night even more relaxing.

There are services available by request, such as a private chef or a breakfast delivered in the room to be enjoyed on the terrace. It is also possible to request groceries to arrive in the room before arrival. It is also possible to book a massage to take place in the guest’s villa, as well as a session with a personal trainer. The property also offers babysitting and transfers, completing “an offering designed to provide comfort and freedom.”

It is also possible to take part in physical activity, such as playing on the padel court or riding one of the available bikes.

A debut

With the new project, Ando Living, opening Comporta Villas is debuting “beyond urban centres”, aiming to bring “its approach to hospitality to a destination where nature and privacy define the experience.”

The brand mentions that, in Comporta Villas, it finds its new expression “: offering the freedom and comfort of a home, with personalised services and a strong connection to local identity.”
