Olas is a unique boutique hotel with every suite just steps away from a pristine white sandy beach and warm Caribbean waters. It was originally built by Carlos Schober, an Austrian engineer who’s design carefully considered how the property would work in harmony with its natural environment.
Shade from trees and the curvature of walls create a natural cooling air flow eliminating the need for air conditioning. Water from underground streams is transferred to rooftop cisterns then gravity fed into each suite’s water supply. Other sustainable practices used include rainwater collection for irrigation, composting, and the entire property is powered by solar panels.
Guests can relax on their balconies, laze in a hammock, or take a quiet walk along the beach. The most pressing decision you'll have to make is whether to take a yoga class in the treetop Sky Yoga Shala overlooking the ocean, or where to get a massage-under the palms or in your own suite. Sipping a margarita on the Sunset Roof Deck is a perfect way to end the day.
When you're ready for some adventure, take a boat trip to explore the natural wonders of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. Other enticing options include kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, bird watching tours, and swimming in the local cenote.
Meals are served at a large communal table in the sand where guests enjoy delicious chef creations made from locally sourced ingredients. Sharing stories and meeting new people is part of the fun.
Olas is the perfect fix for your vaca dreaming.
The beautiful and tranquil country location of Sublime Comporta makes it the perfect place to unwind and renew your spirit. Villas combine a simple modern design with an emphasis on complimenting the natural environment. Some villas were even constructed around trees rather than cutting them down!
Guests can choose from airy cabana style villas with private pools or suites spread out across the property. The bio-pool suites are located directly on a unique pool which is completely treated with aquatic plants and does not depend on chemicals for cleaning.
The restaurants serve organic vegetables and edible flowers grown in their very own garden. One of the several dining options is the Food Circle where guests get to watch chefs prepare food using only fire and ancestral cooking methods and dine under the stars experiencing some of Portugal’s best wines. They have even developed their own olive oil Sublime Vintage 2017 for guests to enjoy.
Satisfy your adventurous spirit and take a short ride to the beach. Have fun sailing, surfing, dolphin watching, horseback riding, golfing, or bird watching in the Sado Estuary Reserve.
If you love alfresco dining, the Comporta Beach Club is the place to go for a delicious meal and stunning views. You can always just go and just enjoy a cool drink while lounging on the beach.
Sustainability is at the very core of everything they do. Organic gardens supply food, flowers, and herbs used in restaurants, bars, and the spa. Architecture gives preference to sustainable materials, and solar panels provide hot water, underfloor heating, and warm pool water.
Sublime Comporta has everything you need for a luxurious, rejuvenating retreat.

Menu options are always a surprise and dictated by the whims of the chef who always likes to surprise and make each meal special. There are plenty of options where to dine whether it be poolside, on the beach, or in the restaurant.
Kayaking, motorbiking, sailing, diving, or snorkeling are just a few of the many ways to play in the sun. Not for the faint of heart there is the option of surfing the island's famous Cloud 9’s epic barrel waves.
