Hidden in a wild valley in southern Portugal, Satvana is a gently restored off-grid sanctuary where silence, nature, and community support inner work and transformation.
A home for conscious living and authentic retreats near the picturesque village of São Martinho das Amoreiras, Satvana moves with the slow and grounded rhythm of the land.
We are not a resort, nor a place to consume experiences. Instead, we offer you space to rest, listen, and remember what is essential.
Here, simplicity becomes the new luxury: a shared meal from the garden, the sound of wind through trees, a night sky free of noise and screens – a time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what feels true.



Each stay is an invitation to reconnect — with yourself, with the living world, and with the local community. We are here to honor an authentic and sustainable path to peace and happiness.
For writers, artists, digital nomads, healers or everyone who wishes to live and work in presence. In Satvana, we offer a light daily program where creativity, connection, and inner peace can unfold naturally.
For those seeking rest, healing or integration during life’s transitions. You may stay alone or be gently supported by trusted practitioners from the surrounding community who offer a variety of healing modalities such as massage, acupuncture and coaching.
For leaders and groups who share Satvana’s values of authenticity, simplicity, and love — and wish to offer their work in a grounded, natural setting.
There are places that provide accommodation, and then there are places like Satvana, places that nourish the soul. After experiencing a retreat at Satvana, I returned for the co-living. The shared meals, meaningful conversations, and connections with people from around the world made this place truly special. “A rare community built on authenticity, kindness, respect, and genuine care. ”

"Living in Satvana for 7 months has been an absolute pleasure. The beings here are so beautiful and are deeply devoted to inner growth and authenticity. During this time I have been part of many different group dynamics and it has been so wonderful to witness the inclusiveness and compassion for one another shining through in all of them.
