About Us

We believe change starts with how we live, and that it’s more meaningful when we do it together.

As a young family of five, we’ve created Illa do Artes as a living example of permaculture in action. For us, it’s not just about growing food, it’s a way of life rooted in connection, sustainability, and responsibility in a modern world.

Our land sits between forest, river, and wild Atlantic coastline a, place where nature invites you to slow down, reconnect, and experience a different rhythm of living.

We offer hands-on experiences, nature stays, and learning opportunities designed to inspire simple, self-reliant living, whether you come to rest, explore, or learn.

At the heart of everything we do is a belief in living well: nurturing the soil, producing real food, and sharing knowledge so others can bring these practices into their own lives.
