Villa With a Private Padel Court in Melides, Sleeps 10

01 Hideaway Included

Every villa is read under the same seven categories. This is this one, in full.

The Villa for a Group

Sleeping: Five king suites hold ten in comfort, all en suite, no short straws. The master takes a private sitting room and a rooftop terrace.
The long table: A kitchen with island and a separate galley, and one long timber table where ten eat well together.
Flow: Villa, pool, court and dining terrace stand in one loop, and the group orbits without organising itself.
Design: Whitewashed walls, terracotta roofs and timber ceilings, Alentejo materials handled with restraint: an arched entrance with potted agaves, a vaulted living room, open shelving along the kitchen counter, a pink canvas above the dining table, a desk in a bedroom window nook.

The Setting

Seclusion: Forty-four private hectares. No neighbour in sight, none in earshot, one group at a time.
The light: Cork oaks and Alentejo light, the kind that makes people stop talking at seven.
Quiet: No road, no bar, no flight path. Stand still at night and the estate answers with nothing at all.

The Padel Court

Private: A court of its own inside the estate, reachable only through the trees. Ten people, one court, no queue. Tennis and pétanque alongside it.
The court itself: Kept properly and set in the land, not bolted to the side of it.
When to play: Shaded until mid-morning; twice a day is comfortable, and usual.
Where it is: Set among the trees so it reads as part of the estate; the glass carries the evening light.

The Kitchen

Cooking for you: Breakfast and lunch are prepared as part of the stay; a chef cooks the evenings you want cooked, menus agreed beforehand.
Eating out: Melides and Comporta within half an hour for the nights you want somewhere else's noise.
The wine: Alentejo growers, and a cellar the chef raids on your behalf.

The Relaxation

The pool and the beach: A heated 29-metre pool on wide timber decking, a cedar hot tub on its own deck, and the Melides beach a short drive.
Gym and recovery: An outdoor gym and a yoga room on the estate; recovery sessions arranged into the week.
Sleep: Thick walls, dark rooms, and forty-four hectares to disappear into for an hour.

The Service on site

Housekeeping: Daily housekeeping through the week, a team who keep out of the way while doing it.
The grounds: Court swept, pool clear, the whole estate kept. It never looks like somewhere between guests.
What it asks of you: Nothing in the week needs pushing. That is what the estate is for.

The Feeling

Arrival: The last kilometre through cork oaks does the work; by the court, nobody is talking about the flight.
The week: One group at a time. People start asking about next year on the Thursday.
What it feels like: The sunken firepit with the benches drawn round it, daybeds the length of the covered terrace, and a cinema room off the lounge for the hour nobody wants the sun.

Anything in outline is not here, and it is stated rather than hidden.

02 Concierge On request

We plan the week with you before you arrive, and we are on call while you are there. Housekeeping comes with the villa.

Before: Dates, group, coaching, the nights out, one conversation, not forty messages.
During: Something changes at breakfast, and it is handled by lunch.
One group at a time: Kaba takes one group a week. Nobody is dividing attention.

03 Driver On request

We sort how you get there, and how you get around all week.

The route in: Met at Lisbon arrivals, about ninety minutes, the last of it through cork oaks.
The week: A driver for the beach, dinners in Melides and Comporta, the day trip somebody suggests.
On the estate: Quads and a Can-Am for the forty-four hectares.

04 Chef On request

Breakfast and lunch are handled. A chef cooks the evenings you want cooked.

The chef: Menus agreed before you arrive, dietaries handled without ceremony.
Provisioning: The kitchen stays stocked; the market run happens without you.
Out: Melides and Comporta for the other nights, booked ahead by us.

05 Coach On request

You came to play, so we only use coaches we have played with, or who come highly regarded by the coaches we know.

The bench: Alentejo and Lisbon professionals with competition years behind them; English, Portuguese and Spanish taught.
The format: Your court, your hours, morning drills before the heat, matchplay under the trees, a villa tournament if the group wants one.
The levels: Mixed groups read in one warm-up; nobody is left feeding balls.

Anything we should know

Fewer nights than a full week, or a different start day, go here. Optional. Whatever you tell us here is answered in our first reply, rather than writing back to ask.

Where to reach you

EmailMobile

Either one is enough. We reply to whichever you leave.

Leaving your details is your approval to share them with the portfolio or owner that holds the villa, once you confirm you want to go ahead. Nobody else, and no mailing list.

Referred by a club, a coach or a content creator

Optional. We tell them their introduction arrived, and when it becomes a booking they share in it.

Tell Meta an enquiry was sent, so we can see if our adverts work. Your email goes as a scramble, never as an address.

Why there is no cookie banner

This site sets no cookies, so there is nothing on your device to agree to and nothing to close. Visits are counted twice, anonymously, in a way that writes nothing to your device and cannot follow you. All of it is on the privacy page, which opens in its own tab so nothing you have written here is lost.

The practical questions about Villa Kaba

Why book through you?

The villas are looked after by people who are particular about who they work with, and they work with us. That takes time to earn and it is why this collection grows slowly, a villa at a time.

You pay the villa's own rate, and the week costs no more for our being in it: our commission comes out of what the villa already charges. The Concierge, Driver, Chef and Coach are quoted alongside it as one price, and we are on call for them all week. Every enquiry comes to us, so the person who answers is the person who arranges it.

How this began →

Is there a security deposit at Villa Kaba?

The villa sets its deposit and it is written into your agreement before you book. Ask us and we will tell you the figure for your dates.

More on how deposits and damage are handled →

When do we arrive, and can we book a shorter stay?

Any day, minimum 5 nights. Five nights is the shortest stay, in every season, and the villa turns around on whichever day you arrive. Tell us your dates and we will confirm with the villa.

Which airport do we fly into for Villa Kaba?

Lisbon (LIS), about ninety minutes away by road. Add the Driver and you are met at arrivals and driven in.

What comes with the villa, and what can I add at Villa Kaba?

The whole villa, yours alone, 5 suites for 10. Add the concierge, a driver, a chef and a coach and we plan the week and come back with one price.

What is added to the rate at Villa Kaba?

€20,270 for a shoulder week with the clean in it: €2,860 a night, €20,020 for the seven, then a final clean at €250 a booking, due when the booking is made. A peak week comes to €40,220 on the same lines: €39,970 for the seven, and the same €250 clean on top. They are the villa's own, not ours, and every line is on your quote before you sign. The Concierge, Driver, Chef and Coach sit outside it, and we quote those with the week.
