Our house is a place for transformational living that supports inner growth and a sustainable way of life. Guided by the ethics of permaculture, we strive for a harmonious coexistence with nature.
We are a small, intentional, off-grid eco-community situated in the midst of semi-arid nature in southern Spain. We're committed to openness and a non-judgmental, no-harm approach. This helps us to deal more compassionately with each other, our environment, and the world.
As a healing biotope, we want to co-create a place that serves all living beings. We hope to inspire people from diverse backgrounds on their individual pathways to finding wholeness in their lives.
As we're slowly building a small community, we want to welcome people for longer periods of time. This is the perfect place to find a balance between work, being in nature, and living in a community. We believe that this place and its residents (Karen, Michi & Enki) can support you in your journey of exploring new ways of living and working. Your intention might be to spend more time in nature, begin to weave more spirituality into your life, or experience off-grid and community life to see if that's for you.
Our vision for the next few months is to grow our food forest, build new homes, and welcome volunteers who want to contribute their skills and time to continue building more rooms, taking care of the land, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Top Questions
-
Will I have privacy?We honour privacy and take care of our own needs. Living in a community has taught us that time alone is of essential value. Find privacy in your room, on one of the terraces, or enjoy nature; you probably won't meet anyone on your walk.
-
Are pets allowed?In general, yes, please inform us about your pet.
-
Can I split the rent with my partner or a friend?We do allow couples and friends to stay in our bigger rooms, ensuring there’s plenty of space for your needs and comfort.
Please note that additional charges do apply (for electricity and water). -
Is there a designated space for work?Currently, we're using the space upstairs in our main house or the dining table, as we're mostly eating outside. We dedicated one room in the main house for calls and online offerings to guarantee silence and privacy.
Besides that, all bedrooms have a desk, except one, and we are continuously improving our spaces. -
What types of people will I be sharing the home with?We are a small community of three adults and a child. Karen and Michi started this project with a vision for the community: regenerating the land, hosting retreats, and renting the space as a retreat venue. Teresa joined the community in January 2024.
We are passionate about new ways of living, permaculture, yoga, human design, astrology, coaching - really everything that supports a life in alignment with nature and our values.
We honour openness, honesty, compassion, freedom and fun. We believe that this place is meant to support a joyful and meaningful life, creating opportunities to grow, connect, learn, heal and share your gifts.
We love co-creating and spending time together: from ceremonies (cacao, breathwork, etc.), dances, workshops, yoga classes, cooking to beach days and camping trips.
We welcome volunteers (wwoof and workaway) to help us realise our vision and to share experiences of learning, growth and healing. As we're hosting retreats from February to May and September to December you might share the home with retreat participants for one to two weeks per month. We love the energy of a retreat! -

- If anything is unclear, you can easily reach out to the property by clicking "Contact host" and ask for more details. Make sure your questions are not already covered in the description or the FAQ section.
- Coliving.com makes sure the coliving property is as advertised, by only sending any money to the operator 24h after you have successfully moved in.

Once we’ve answered your questions, you will be given time to get settled and make yourself at home.
