Costa
Alentejana

Wild Atlantic dunes, rice fields, pine forests and Europe's most coveted coastline. Five destinations — from fashionable Comporta to the raw cliffs of Porto Covo.

About this region

Europe's last
wild coastline.

The Costa Alentejana is one of Europe's last truly unspoiled coastlines — protected by natural park status, defined by wild Atlantic beaches, rice paddies, cork oak forests and a pace of life that feels genuinely different. From the fashionable dunes of Comporta to the raw cliffs of Porto Covo, five destinations with one thing in common: they reward those who make the effort to get there.

No nightclubs, no high-rises, no tourist infrastructure in the conventional sense. Just dunes, rice fields, and the Atlantic.
