Find your perfect host

Description
We’re forming a community in the beautiful south of Spain, where we’re building a sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle. We mainly work remotely and try to stay as independent as possible. We have all the comforts, but they don't come from laziness: we're hard workers who enjoy having fun together.
Our project is hands-on and real: restoring land, building DIY projects, gardening organically, rescuing animals, and slowly shaping a life that feels more connected to nature—and to each other. It’s not about being perfect, but about showing up with a good heart and getting your hands dirty.
We are turning our little corner of the world into a place full of life, biodiverse gardens, shared meals, and a sense of purpose.
We’re not a big organization or a formal eco-center. We're more like a group of friends/family (sometimes chaotic, always loving) where everyone plays a part.
We’re looking for people who are genuinely interested in sustainability, in learning practical skills, in exploring an alternative way of living, and in contributing meaningfully while they’re here. Whether you’re dreaming of a lifestyle change, searching for good friends, or just want to explore a new rhythm of life, this place might be a match for you.
If you’re just looking for a free holiday, or if drama is your favorite sport, this probably won’t be your scene. But if you like growing your own food, fixing things, helping animals, and living a life that feels honest and real, come say hi.
And just to set the mood:
My grandma says we’re hippies.
My mom says we’ve lost our minds.
And some school friends think we’ve joined a cult.
We just think we finally found a clever way of living, and it works for us.😊Types of help and learning opportunities

This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a group committed to sustainable living and biodiversity. You’ll learn valuable skills in organic gardening, composting, and DIY eco-projects, as well as firsthand experience with self-sufficient living. In addition, you’ll be introduced to sustainable farming practices, animal care, and the basics of permaculture.
Beyond practical skills, you'll have the chance to exchange ideas and perspectives with like-minded individuals in a relaxed, creative environment, surrounded by the natural beauty of southern Spain.
During your free time, you can relax by our two swimming pools, enjoy the warm weather, or take a dip in the jacuzzi. There’s also a lovely garden where you can unwind or spend time with our friendly cats and dogs. The town is a short 15-minute walk away, where you can explore local shops, cafes, and historical landmarks.
The stunning beaches are only an hour’s drive from the house, providing the perfect escape for a weekend outing. There’s also plenty of hiking and nature trails nearby for those who love to explore the outdoors. We are located in a peaceful part of the south of Spain, offering both a tranquil retreat and easy access to cultural experiences.Projects involving children

Help
We’re looking for enthusiastic, hands-on helpers who are passionate about sustainable living, gardening, and DIY projects. The main tasks will include working with soil, building raised beds, planting crops, and caring for the land , our animals and our shared spaces.

Guidelines for Living in Harmony
Through our experiences working with diverse individuals, we’ve learned that living together harmoniously requires clear guidelines. These rules help us create a supportive, safe, and joyful environment where everyone can grow and evolve. We are committed to ensuring that this place remains a sanctuary where everyone feels respected and at ease.
Centre Rules:
No Drugs, Alcohol, or Tobacco: To maintain a clear, healthy and focused environment, we do not permit the use of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco within the centre or on our grounds.
Vegetarian/Vegan Diet: We ask that all food consumed within the centre and on our lands be vegetarian or vegan. This means no meat or fish, in keeping with our commitment to non-violence and ethical living.
Zero Tolerance for Violence: Any form of violence, whether physical or verbal, is strictly prohibited.
Communication and Feedback:
Clear Communication: We value open and honest communication as the foundation of a healthy community. With individuals from diverse backgrounds, it’s vital to express ourselves clearly to avoid misunderstandings.
Continuous Feedback: To maintain a positive group dynamic, we encourage regular, constructive feedback. This ongoing dialogue helps us address any issues early and strengthens our collective experience.
Respect of Individual Freedom:
Part of our land is naturist, including one of the swimming pools and the jacuzzi. It is expected of everyone to be tolerant and not to gossip. We want everyone, both naturists and non-naturists, to feel comfortable and welcomed.
By following these guidelines, we ensure that this place remains a place where everyone can thrive, contributing to an atmosphere of mutual respect, peace, and shared growth.A little more information
