At Vivenda Felicidade we are cocreating a space to explore a new perspective on coliving as remote workers, where everyone brings their own unique qualities to the mixture so we can all share an enriching experience, contribute to a greener economy and help each other grow.
We aim to host digital nomads and remote workers who want to learn about sustainable/regenerative practices and be part of the process of becoming more resource independent.
After working remotely for 5 years, we've decided to set our roots in Sintra. Chico is currently working as a gardener (still an aspiring gardener) and as a certified surf instructor (with over 25 years of experience). Liam is a UX Designer and psychology student. We both love the ocean, the earth and animals. On our free times we like to do sports such as surfing, skating, yoga, reading, dancing and more.

Coliving with us in Sintra
4 years ago, during Covid we started this project by accident. We strived to find people with similar interests, looking for a more sustainable and regenerative lifestyle while implementing permaculture design principles, and we liked it.
Our House is a 100-year-old house that belonged to our ancestors. It was abandoned and we decided to become the new stewards committed to bringing life back to it.
Our mission is:
- To regenerate the soil
- Increase biodiversity on Site
- Become 80% energy independent
We aim to finance our project by hosting Remote workers who want to learn and be part of our mission while surfing, farming, and having fun together.
Located in the center of a small village called Tojeira, between Sintra and Ericeira, where peace meets a vibrant tourist surf destination.

The Surf near Sintra, Portugal
The surf near Vivenda Felicidade is truly special, offering something for everyone! Our home spot, Magoito Beach, is one of the best beginner-friendly beaches in the area, with consistent sand-bottom waves that are perfect for learning and improving.
For more experienced surfers, Ericeira—Portugal’s first World Surfing Reserve—is just 20 minutes away, featuring a variety of beach and point breaks suited for intermediate and advanced surfers. Whether you prefer fast barrels or long, cruisy rides, the coastline here has it all.
Why should you be excited?
The region boasts a mix of sand, reef, and point breaks, meaning you can surf in different conditions and push your progression. Plus, the local surf community is welcoming, and you'll often find great post-surf vibes at nearby cafés.
How do you get to the surf?
The best way to reach the surf is by car, and we help coordinate rides to the best spots depending on the day's conditions.
Can you take lessons or rent equipment?
Yes! Chico, who grew up surfing in the area and knows the community well, is a certified ASI surf instructor and offers lessons upon request. You can also rent surfboards and wetsuits directly from the house or get recommendations for the best local surf schools.

Beautiful, serene and welcoming place! Absolutely worth to visit and stay for a while if you like to learn about sustainable farming and be part of a nice community. Very close to beautiful beaches where you can surf, relax and eat at the best restaurants - just ask the host where to go and he’ll share the best places. Last but not least: nice community diners and bonfire with people from everywhere!
