Vivenda Felicidade Coliving - Surf and Permaculture

Vivenda Felicidade is a small regenerative coliving farm and coworking project located in Tojeira within the Natural Park of Sintra, roughly five minutes from Magoito beach and about 40 minutes from Lisbon Airport. The site frames itself as a hybrid of modern remote-work infrastructure and permaculture-based living: the property includes communal living and working facilities set within a 6,000 m² community garden/food forest and a restored Portuguese farmhouse. The hosts position the project around land regeneration, biodiversity, and a path toward energy independence. Capacity and accommodation follow a small-scale model: up to about 12 residents, five indoor bedrooms plus a camping/glamping area (seasonal tents available in summer), communal bathrooms and an outdoor compost toilet. Interior spaces highlighted are a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with projector, a 140 m² attic for stretching/meditation, and a dedicated coworking space with micro outdoor hub spots. The property advertises high-speed 5G internet (minimum 340 Mbps download) and a range of shared outdoor amenities including a barbecue area, two firepits for community events and an outdoor calisthenics gym. Programming and daily life emphasize permaculture and skills exchange. Typical on-site activities include surfing, hiking, yoga and breathwork tailored for surf and farm life, plus workshops and hands-on regenerative practices. The project offers community dinners and bonfires, seasonal produce from the garden (stated as pesticide- and fertilizer-free), and an ethos of shared meals and co-creation. Minimum stays are two weeks with options up to six months; discounts are offered for longer stays (e.g., 2 weeks → 2 nights free; 3 weeks → 4 nights free; 4 weeks → 8 nights free). Included services are weekly cleaning, towels and bed linens, coffee and tea, access to coworking spaces and garden produce. Payable extras listed on the site include surf classes and rentals, yoga and breathwork sessions (starting around €15), equipment monitor fees, laundering (€3/wash) and transfers (recommended ride-share at ~€25). The operation signals openness to collaborations (events, retreats, residencies) and volunteers for farming/gardening, cooking and community management or social media tasks. Founders are named as Chico (co‑founder, permaculture student) and Liam (co‑founder, UX designer and surf coach). The project’s stated mission and vision center on reconnecting people with nature, slowing life’s pace, mindful living and fostering a small inclusive community practicing sustainable, regenerative living.
