Faithful to the Alentejo rhythm, in an untouched natural paradise that challenges the imagination in its incomparable beauty, the Sublime Comporta is inspired by the panorama that embraces it to awaken all your senses. Here, one hour from Lisbon, sustainability, absolute comfort and unique experiences are promoted.
WHEN HARMONY AND EXCLUSIVITY COME TOGETHER IN THE SAME PLACE
Inspired by the pure and idyllic scenery of Comporta, among cork oaks and umbrella pines, wild dunes and rice fields, the Sublime Comporta was born. The project’s creators, Gonçalo Pessoa and Patrícia Trigo, surrendered to the coastal destination and were concerned with maintaining the region’s original identity, developing the hotel and all its facilities in a sustainable and conscious way, paying tribute to the best of Portugal. This attitude gave rise to partnerships with local fishermen and farmers, with a guarantee of regional origin for most of the products used.
THE SUBLIME EXPERIENCES AND PRODUCTS
In Sublime restaurants, traditional and regional flavours are prioritized, as well as the most exclusive gastronomic experiences. A team of chefs led by Executive Chef Hélio Gonçalves together with Chef Tiago Maio, reinterpret various Alentejo and Portuguese recipes with the best local products and ingredients, through partnerships with fishermen, suppliers and wineries. The Organic Garden at Sublime Comporta is, however, the origin of more than 300 varieties of aromatic herbs, vegetables and edible flowers. A space divided between flavours and aromas that visitors can discover and taste on the spot, creating unique sensory moments and memories – a base for study and inspiration that make it a real living laboratory.
In the middle of the Organic Garden is the Food Circle, the restaurant that stands out for its unique experience, where the ingredients used are freshly harvested and cooked over an open fire. All dishes are cooked in front of the guests, using artisanal processes and ancient cooking methods, together with a curated selection of some of the best wines in Portugal. The Food Circle is the masterpiece of sustainability at Sublime Comporta. It reaffirms the hotel’s position in creating an offer where the words “organic” and “sustainable” can be truly tangible in a dining experience, where the menu changes every week as the new harvest comes along, using only what’s in season. At Sem Porta, you can also rediscover Portuguese and Mediterranean flavours, from baked cod and homemade cornbread, or Iberian black pork, to the typical Alentejo açorda with scarlet prawns. The Tasca da Comporta offers a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy the famous Portuguese delicacies such as fried cuttlefish, codfish chips with chickpeas, cheese and sausage tapas, among many other dishes of the Portuguese culinary imagination.
The launch of exclusive editions of Sublime wines, beers and olive oil complement the offer that defines the hotel’s concept. Sublime wines, with an Atlantic influence, rustic and strong, can be enjoyed in the various restaurants, in the tranquility of your room or villa, or even in the comfort of your own home. This collection includes white wine, rosé wine, red wine, sparkling wine and Moscatel. To this collection is added the exclusive Sublime Gin, created from the oldest and most authentic techniques of Gin production in the world. Also in the Organic Garden, botanical elements are selected to give rise to the distillate, with aromas and flavours such as coriander seeds, bay leaf, lemon balm and orange. The Sublime beer also has a local origin, but from the rice fields of Comporta, being produced with its water. A craft beer, indispensable to the Portuguese table, just like a good olive oil. That’s why Sublime Comporta ventures into a new commitment and produces its own olive oil: the Sublime Vintage 2017, marked by its aroma of tomato leaf, fresh herbs and green apple.
But the experiences promoted by the Organic Garden are not limited to the kitchen. The partnership with OLIÓFORA gave birth to several products developed exclusively for the Sublime brand, such as the bath gel, delicate shampoo, hair mask, body lotion and 7 oils soap. These natural products work as an aromatherapy experience and care and balance body and mind. Spa therapists visit the Organic Garden every morning to harvest plants with the power to enhance their natural beauty. The Sublime aroma is uniformly present in all these products, available in the hotel shop, so that you take with you the memory of your stay in this unique space.
The privacy, exclusivity and personalization that characterize the Sublime group have made this a successful project, with numerous prestigious national and international awards and distinctions.
