Nestled along Portugal’s unspoiled Atlantic coastline, the new Six Senses Comporta at Pinheirinho promises a luxurious and sustainable escape. This unique resort blends high-end living with eco-conscious principles, offering a 70-room hotel and 58 branded residences. Surrounded by tranquil pine forests, sand dunes, and endless golden beaches, the resort provides an immersive experience in nature, with a focus on wellness, sustainability, and modern luxury.
A Coastal Retreat Near Lisbon
Located just a short drive from Lisbon, Comporta has long been known for its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. Now, the nearby Pinheirinho estate is set to become a premier luxury destination. Six Senses, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ expanding Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, has partnered with VIC Properties to create a space that celebrates both stunning design and sustainability.
A Protected Haven on the Atlantic Coast
For years, the 400-hectare Pinheirinho estate was a private retreat, preserved as a protected pinewood forest. Now, Six Senses is turning it into an exclusive resort, complete with a 70-room hotel and 58 branded residences. The design incorporates the estate’s pristine landscapes, blending luxury with nature to offer an exceptional experience for guests and residents alike.
The resort sits among lush pine forests, serene lakes, and rolling sand dunes, stretching toward the golden beach along the Atlantic coast.
Blending Indoor and Outdoor Living
Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a tranquil atmosphere, designed to harmonize the architecture with the natural surroundings. The hotel features 66 deluxe rooms and spacious suites, including family-friendly options. For those seeking more privacy, three exclusive garden villas and a presidential villa are available.
The 58 branded residences, ranging from two- to five-bedroom villas and apartments, are integrated into the landscape. Whether nestled in the forest or overlooking a lake, these residences are designed with wellness in mind. They maximize natural light, fresh air, and sustainable materials, while also offering residents access to hotel amenities like a lively lounge and community spaces.
The Path of Life: Connecting with Nature and Wellness
One of the standout features of Six Senses Comporta is the “Path of Life,” a winding path inspired by sacred geometry. This spiritual journey invites guests to slow down and connect with nature. Along the way, visitors can explore a children’s area focused on wellness activities and an Earth Lab, which offers workshops on sustainability. The resort is dedicated to eco-friendly practices, with a commitment to eliminating single-use plastics and harmful chemicals from the property.
A New Era of Luxury and Sustainability
As part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ growing Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, Six Senses Comporta represents a commitment to blending luxury with sustainability. With nearly 100 properties across Europe, IHG is dedicated to creating spaces that foster wellness, design, and environmental consciousness. In Portugal, IHG currently operates 24 hotels, with more on the way, including the Kimpton Atlântico Algarve and Kimpton Lisbon.
Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs expressed the brand’s commitment to creating spaces that connect guests with nature, saying, “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 incorporating local traditions and the luxury touch that Six Senses is known for.”
João Cabaça, co-founder and CEO of VIC Properties, shared his excitement about the new partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Six Senses to Comporta. This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the estate, one rooted in respect, authenticity, and sustainability. Together, we look forward to building a legacy that preserves the beauty of this region and ensures a sustainable future for generations to come.”
With its unique blend of luxury, wellness, and sustainability, Six Senses Comporta is set to become a landmark destination for those seeking both tranquility and elegance in an unforgettable natural setting.
