Welcome to Satvana

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.

What we offer

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.

Conscious Co-Living

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.

Short Stay / Self-Retreat

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.

Facilitated Retreats

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.
