Experience a private sanctuary of unhurried luxury at Villa Laranjeiras. Nestled in the protected pine groves of Brejos da Carregueira and just minutes from the ocean, this luxury villa near Carvalhal Beach offers the ideal harmony of timeless architecture, secluded privacy, and authentic Alentejo coastal charm.
Your Private, Heatable Saltwater Pool
The undisputed centerpiece of the property is the large, heatable saltwater swimming pool, set seamlessly into an expansive wooden sun deck measuring approximately 13 × 7 meters (nearly 90 m² of outdoor living space).
Gentle Saltwater Electrolysis & 28°C Comfort Temperature
Unlike conventional hotel pools treated with harsh chemicals, Villa Laranjeiras relies on modern, eco-friendly saltwater electrolysis. The water feels silky-soft on the skin, never stings the eyes, and is completely free from harsh chlorine odors—an invaluable comfort for children and guests with sensitive skin. Upon request, we heat the pool during spring and autumn shoulder seasons to a soothing 28°C (82°F). This allows you to enjoy invigorating morning laps or a warm evening swim after returning from the ocean, even when the Atlantic waters are brisk. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, the outdoor pool season in Comporta extends effortlessly from April well into late November—detailed climate insights are available in our guide to the best time to visit Comporta.
Wind-Protected L-Architecture & All-Day Sunshine
Conceived by renowned Portuguese architect Ana Luísa Freitas, the single-story villa embraces the sun deck in a protective L-shape. This architectural layout effectively shields the pool terrace against the typical afternoon Atlantic breeze (Nortada). While afternoon breezes pick up along the open coast, the pool deck remains a calm, sun-drenched sanctuary. Its south- and west-facing orientation guarantees glorious sunshine from early morning until the golden hour light filters through the pine canopy at dusk.
The Sun Deck: Seamless Open-Air Living
Surrounding the pool, the non-slip wooden deck flows naturally into the private garden of fine natural sand and aromatic maritime pines:
- Relaxing & Sunbathing: Generous daybeds and comfortable wooden sunloungers invite you to spend unhurried afternoons with a good book or simply listening to the gentle rustle of the pines.
- Refreshing Outdoor Shower: An outdoor shower nestled directly beneath the pine trees offers crisp refreshment after sunbathing or an effortless rinse to wash away beach sand after a day on the coast.
- Unobstructed Sightlines & Child Safety: From the open gourmet kitchen, the main living area, and the shaded pergola dining table, parents enjoy clear, continuous sightlines across the entire pool deck. You can relax with a chilled glass of Alentejo wine while the children splash safely in the gently sloping shallow end.
From Sun-Drenched Afternoons to Evening Poolside Dining
Featuring four elegantly appointed bedrooms, the villa comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests. As twilight settles, the pool deck transforms into an atmospheric open-air lounge. Subtle underwater lighting bathes the water in a warm, inviting glow. The built-in charcoal barbecue and the solid wooden dining table beneath the shaded pergola make long alfresco dinners with the fresh catch of the day from the local fish market and regional produce an unforgettable highlight.
