Editorial Dear Reader | Caro Leitor With only 18 issues of ABSOLUTE ESCAPE we reached 1,500,000 readers in 194 countries, which is a magnificent number, for a new project and outside the box of what is normal in tourist magazines.

The new ABSOLUTE ESCAPE portal is about to debut at absoluteescape.pt, and we continue with the current one with an average of 14,000 visitors per month, which leads us to aspire that the new platform can have more than 25,000 monthly visits in 2023.

António Vidigal | CEO & Editor-in-Chief

We want to go further in 2023 we will have 3 magazines, 7 supplements and 3 guides, always in the digital component, with a digital magazine and a web portal.

With ABSOLUTE ESCAPE GUIDE we innovated once again and added a digital guide and a web portal, both the magazine and the portal are always up to date, and the guide is available for download and free access.

With an initial adhesion well above our expectations, although conservative, we are sure that it will be an excellent vehicle for promoting destinations, and that it will help in the direct reservations of readers with them.

I'm sure you'll like this ABSOLUTE ESCAPE GUIDE. Thank you for following us on this fantastic adventure.

A preserved nature, rice fields and pines as far as the eye can see.

It is in this grandiose setting that Charline and Antoine decided to build their houses project, Alma da Comporta.

Comporta is a little paradise, as if lost at the end of the world. It reigns a serenity and a sweetness of life without ostentation that seduced them immediately, from their first trip here. Eight years after their first visit to the region, they decide to build their first house in front of the rice fields of Comporta fields.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION | ALMA DA COMPORTA

ALMA DA COMPORTA The Project Happy to share their passion for this wild region with travelers from all over the world, they create a travel and lifestyle blog: Alma da Comporta. This blog is the place where they share their favorites and the best experiences of Comporta.

Here you will find all the addresses of restaurants, hotels, activities and shopping in Comporta.

It is also the place where you will find all the information about their houses and cabins in Comporta: With their thatched roofs Campo de Arroz, Casas de Arroz and Flor de Arroz pay homage to the traditional homes of the region. The infinity pools overlook Comporta’s rice fields and meadows. It is the best place to enjoy the “slow life” spirit of Comporta.

ALMA DA COMPORTA The Houses Alma da Comporta are homes designed to take the time to travel, to get lost in nature, to experience the simple pleasures and unique experiences that this region offers us.

Better than addresses, these are destinations!

EXCLUSIVE EDITION #19 | 12

ALMA DA COMPORTA | CAMPO DE ARROZ This house is composed of two separate rectangular volumes, parallel to each other. Arranged along the north-south axis, they adapt to the topography of the existing land and face the rice fields to the east. The first volume is a wooden structure suspended above the ground that rests on the second concrete volume of the pool, creating a large platform with a fantastic view. A small dune with native vegetation protects the house from the street, while letting the sun shine in the living room. The architectural concept is to follow the horizontality of the landscape and location, while working with local materials and crafts. From the outside the house thus appears perfectly integrated into its environment.

ALMA DA COMPORTA | CASAS DE ARROZ Four huts with different independent volumes that together form a refuge open to the rice fields and fields of Comporta. The construction methods and materials used are traditional, such as brick walls, concrete structure, lightweight wooden roofs and thatched roofs. The common space created is made up of different simple volumes. They are arranged to create openings to the surrounding nature, while protecting the inner courtyards from the wind and sun. The overflow swimming pool completes this resort by overlooking the nature that faces it.

ALMA DA COMPORTA | FLOR DE ARROZ At the foot of the rice fields, they are two rectangular huts parallel to each other. They are positioned in a staggered way to enjoy the sun and light throughout the day. These cocoons are drowned in the raw and inspiring nature that surrounds them, and the pool is a continuation of the rice fields.

The project here consisted in finding the right balance between the nature and construction of these new volumes. The goal is to fully integrate them into their environment, as if they had always been there.
