Illa do Artes is an eco escape, a regenerative agriculture and food forest farm and a centre of appreciation for nature’s treasures.
“We are a family run homestead that combines the values of permaculture with sustainable tourism.”
Changing the world is possible. Changing it together with you makes most sense.
As a young family of five in Galicia, the owners see the principles and values of permaculture as a way of life and they aim to help people to develop a better understanding of how to change their own lifestyle through inspiration into living a more connected, sustainable, responsible and healthy life in a modern World.
The farm Illa do Artes is set in natural bushland, crossed by a river and perched on the edge of uncrowded beaches… the region is a veritable playground for nature-and adventure lovers.

We offer hands-on experiential learning experiences that range from permaculture design to lifestyle changes for individuals or whole families, land & water management , sustainable building and more.
Permaculture is more than growing plants. Permaculture gives us a framework with which we can look at the world differently. We are passionate about living well. For us, that means producing healthy and delicious foods, bettering our soils and earth, and teaching others how to bring self-reliant living into their world.
