Set against the backdrop of the stunning Arrábida Natural Park and surrounded by culinary delights, Troia promises an enchanting escape.
Let’s embark on a journey through this coastal paradise, from the captivating Arrábida beaches to the gastronomic wonders of Sesimbra where you can enjoy the yummiest fresh fish and seafood and the unspoiled beauty of Comporta and the Alentejo coast.
Troia Design Hotel: Where Modern Luxury Meets Coastal Bliss
Your retreat begins at the Troia Design Hotel, where contemporary elegance meets coastal serenity. This Hotel is amazing, the rooms are spacious and settling in the balcony admiring the sunset over the sea is a must. Has plenty of outdoor sunbeds by the swimming pools and if the weather decides to play tricks on you, no worries as they have 2 inside pools (thank goodness for that as it rained nonstop for a day while we were there).
Plenty of restaurants around the hotel to enjoy typical Portuguese food. Our favourites where Adega de Patiscos and Oficina da Carne.
Arrábida Natural Park: A Nature Lover’s Dream
Embark on a short ferry ride to explore the Arrábida Natural Park, a haven of lush landscapes and pristine beaches. Standout among them is Galapinhos Beach, nestled within a picturesque cove, offering clear turquoise waters and golden sands. It’s a slice of paradise perfect for unwinding and basking in the natural beauty.

Comporta Beach: A Tranquil Retreat
Mandatory on your itinerary is a visit to Comporta Beach, where miles of pristine sands meet the Atlantic Ocean. In high season, relish the opportunity for horse rides along the beach, adding an unforgettable touch to your Portuguese experience.
We ate in a small, family run, pretty restaurant in Comporta village called Sabores da Comporta.
