Experience the wild, uncrowded Atlantic swells of Portugal without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. Set in the quiet pine woods of Brejos da Carregueira, Villa Laranjeiras is a premium private retreat designed as the ultimate high-end basecamp for surfers, ocean lovers, and adventure-seeking groups. As an exclusive luxury villa near Carvalhal Beach, our property pairs world-class coastal waves with barefoot architectural luxury.
Five Minutes to World-Class Atlantic Breaks
The coastline of Comporta and Carvalhal is celebrated for its consistent, sand-bottom beach breaks and peaceful, uncrowded line-ups:
- Praia do Carvalhal (6 mins): A reliable, high-quality beach break offering fun rights and lefts for both intermediate and advanced surfers. Home to the acclaimed, family-run Carvalhal Surf School—widely regarded by locals as one of the friendliest and most professional surf schools in Europe.
- Praia do Pego (8 mins): Just south of Carvalhal, offering hollow, punchy shorebreaks on solid Atlantic swells, framed by breathtaking dunes.
- Praia da Galé & Secret Breaks (12–15 mins): Tucked beneath dramatic red and golden clay cliffs, offering sheltered waves when north winds kick up along the main beaches.
- Melides & Sines Coast (20–30 mins): Endless exploratory potential down the Alentejo coast, with reef and point breaks when the swell gets massive.

Tailored Infrastructure for Surfers & Gear
Tired of cramped surf hostels and sandy living rooms? Villa Laranjeiras provides thoughtful outdoor facilities tailored specifically for ocean sports:
- Refreshing Outdoor Shower: Rinse off sand, salt, and wetsuits under the pines immediately after returning from the beach.
- Spacious Wooden Deck: Generous, sheltered outdoor areas to safely rinse, dry, and store your surfboards, leashes, and wetsuits without tracking sand inside.
- High-Capacity Laundry: In-house washing machine and dryer ensure fresh towels and dry rashguards for your dawn patrol sessions.
Built for Crews & Surfing Families
Whether traveling with a dedicated surf crew or vacationing with a family where only some members surf, the villa’s layout guarantees comfort for up to 8 to 10 guests:
- 3.5 Bathrooms: Two private en-suite master bathrooms, a large shared family bathroom, and a guest powder room ensure zero morning delays when everyone is rushing out for clean morning offshore conditions.
- Acoustic Privacy: Four quiet bedrooms isolated by deep, floor-to-ceiling wardrobe partitions give early risers the freedom to brew morning coffee without waking the rest of the house.
- Post-Surf Feast Ready: A fully equipped gourmet kitchen and outdoor charcoal barbecue allow you to grill fresh Atlantic fish and prepare hearty meals together after demanding hours in the water.
- Evening Entertainment & Sports Streaming: Large Smart TV in the living pavilion with complimentary access to DAZN (all major European soccer leagues live!), Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video, paired with a rich Sonos sound system—ideal for catching live sports and unwinding together after demanding sessions.
Regeneration: Heated Saltwater Pool & Fireplace
Paddle fatigue melts away the moment you return. Submerge yourself in our heatable private saltwater pool on the wooden deck to soothe tired shoulders and paddle-weary muscles. Relax on comfortable daybeds and wooden loungers with a chilled Portuguese Sagres or crisp vinho verde as the sun sets over the pines. During the prime autumn and winter swell seasons, the crackling indoor wood fireplace and underfloor bathroom heating make the villa an exceptional base for an invigorating winter escape to the Alentejo.

"We had an amazing stay at Peter & Lisa’s home. The neighbourhood is peaceful and very well located. Our favourite beaches were Gale & Carvalhal. We surfed with Daniel from ‘Surf in Comporta’, brought supplies from Gomes and everyone we met from all of the local independent businesses were wonderful people. We would visit again in a heartbeat. Thank you for having us and for a truly memorable holiday."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Summer (July and August) is the peak season for a classic beach holiday and requires booking several months in advance. The shoulder seasons (May, June, September, October) offer beautiful warm weather with wonderfully quiet beaches.

Yes! Our private saltwater pool can be heated to a comfortable 28°C (82°F) upon request, making it perfect for swimming in the shoulder seasons (Spring and Autumn). Please note that out of respect for the environment and local energy resources, we normally do not heat the pool during the winter months (November to March), unless we experience an exceptionally warm and sunny winter period.
Absolutely. The villa is built directly on sand, making the entire securely fenced property feel like a giant, safe sandbox for children. We provide comprehensive kid's equipment (beach toys, baby monitor, etc.) and a heatable saltwater pool. Please note for families with toddlers: the pool area itself is not separately fenced off, so standard parental supervision in the garden is required.
