On a secluded stretch of Portugal’s Atlantic coast, set on a peninsula between the ocean and a wild nature reserve just beyond Comporta, lies Na Praia.
Opening in spring 2026, this distinctive 113-key independent hotel is an ode to the untamed beauty of its surroundings and the result of more than a decade of careful design and lasting commitment to conservation.
In harmony with its setting, Na Praia honours the hush of the dunes, the fragrance of pine, juniper and thyme and the hidden life of ecosystems that define the landscape. Prioritising the protection of the dunes, its architecture follows the logic of the land and is rooted in a palpable sense of place. With an edge-of-the-world setting, located on 340ha of preserved wilderness, Na Praia invites stillness and a softer, slower rhythm of life. Located just over an hour from Lisbon, yet seemingly far removed, the hotel opens directly onto two kilometres of white sand, offering rare access to one of Portugal’s most pristine coastal environments.
Na Praia is the second hotel project from José António Uva, eighth-generation steward of São Lourenço do Barrocal, the much-loved farmhouse hotel in Portugal’s Alentejo. While Barrocal lies inland, rooted in agricultural traditions, Na Praia looks outward to the sea, shaped by the wild Atlantic horizon, a continuation of Uva’s work of protecting, restoring and preserving Portuguese heritage and guardianship of the land.
