Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are moving to celeb hangout Comporta
(Picture: ES)This summer, forget about Ibiza, Mykonos or St Tropez – those in-the-know will be heading to a new European hot spot: Comporta, a buzzy sweep of shore on Portugal’s west coast. An hour’s drive south of Lisbon, this unspoilt, blustery stretch of beach has taken over from the Algarve as the Portuguese holiday destination of choice for the well-heeled and wealthy, and now it has the royal seal of approval too thanks to the news that Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank and their one-year-old son August will now be splitting their time between Comporta and London.
The move has been prompted by the fact that Jack has just landed a job at the exclusive CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club there, which is owned by multimillionaire property tycoon Mike Meldman. A co-founder of Casamigos tequila, along with George Clooney and Cindy Crawford’s husband Rande Gerber, Meldman and Jack go way back – Jack has long been an ambassador for the brand and the royal couple even served it at their wedding. He’s now been brought on to work in marketing, sales and promotion for Meldman’s Discovery Land Company, which has been developing a highly sought after 722-acre beachfront plot in Comporta since 2019. Once complete the resort is set to have 300 homes, with prices starting from a cool £3.6million. Eugenie, Jack and their son are living at a property on site, which offers incredible views over the Atlantic as well as access to an 18-hole golf course, spa and equestrian centre.
