We are an upscale coliving hub located in Sintra Natural Park, a few minutes walk from the ocean. A vibrant 5-bedroom villa surrounded by a pine forest accommodates up to 11 guests. It has a beautiful garden, a swimming pool, a barbeque, and a glass-walled coworking space overlooking the forest.

City Praia Das Macas (beach of apples) is a true hidden gem. Not overcrowded by tourists, it is famous among locals, offering many good restaurants, terraces, events, and a like-minded community. There is surf, yoga, hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, paragliding, and a lot more.

We are welcoming digital nomads, entrepreneurs, creatives, and everyone working remotely and looking for quality, comfort, connection with nature, surf, yoga, and sometimes party.
