Herdade de Comporta

Portugal

An hour’s drive south of Lisbon, this course will sit beside the beach with views overlooking the ocean. Marked by massive, ten-story sand dunes and a sparse but mature pine forest, it promises perfect golfing terrain while requiring minimal construction.

Using Pine Valley as a source of inspiration, we intend to leave much of the native vegetation "as is" surrounding the golf, as well as a great deal of open sand.

Another Aman Resort project, Herdade de Comporta is backed by the Espirito Santos Group and is a cornerstone of a broader initiative to develop this coastal sand belt from Setubal to the Algarve.

We hope to begin construction in 2008.
