Jo Beames Consultancy has announced a new partnership with Sublime Comporta, a luxury eco-retreat on Portugal’s Alentejo coast which joins her Bespoke Collaborations portfolio.
Located just over an hour south of Lisbon, Sublime Comporta is set within a sprawling estate of umbrella pines, cork trees, lakes and dunes near the coastal village of Comporta, a destination often described as the “Portuguese Hamptons” thanks to its understated luxury, wide Atlantic beaches and nature-led lifestyle.
The partnership adds a new Southern European option to Beames’ growing collection of handpicked hotels and venues aimed at the meetings, incentives and luxury events market.
“Having visited last year, I completely fell in love with both Sublime and Comporta and could instantly see the potential for the kind of incredible events and experiences we could create there,” said Beames.
Known for its relaxed aesthetic and sustainability-led approach, the resort combines contemporary design with a village-style layout, with hotel rooms, suites and cabana-style villas spread across the estate to create a more private, residential feel.
The property recently expanded with the opening of its new Sand Wing in May, developed with luxury events in mind. Combined with the existing Terracotta Wing, the resort now offers 214 rooms alongside a new wellness centre, Aqua, plus additional dining concepts including Davvero Comporta and Portugal’s first Beefbar.
At the heart of the meetings and events offer is The Forum, a purpose-built event space surrounded by nature and designed to accommodate everything from leadership meetings to larger celebrations and receptions. The venue includes an amphitheatre, expansive terrace and nightclub space, with natural light and flexible layouts designed to support both corporate and social events.
Experiences available within the destination range from horse riding, surfing and dolphin watching to wine tastings, gastronomy programmes and boat trips exploring hidden coves along the Alentejo coastline.
Beames said the destination offers “a perfect setting for understated luxury events”, adding: “It cuts through the noise in a world that often rushes. It’s a place to pause, to breathe with nature, with spaces crafted that honour simplicity and authenticity.”
