Coming Back To Your Nature
Madreselva is a place to remember that we are Nature.
Intrinsically connected to its living essence.
The forest, the river, and the presence of wildlife are not merely landscapes around us. They are living forces that restore our inner balance.
In their rhythms, we remember our own.
THE ART OF GOOD LIVING
Our intention is to create fertile ground where health, consciousness, and a harmonious relationship with ourselves and the world around us can take root and grow.
A space that supports a grounded, attentive, and nourishing way of living.
We cultivate a culture of regeneration through deep relationship with the elements, with plants, with art, and with human and more-than-human life. Presence, care, and respect for natural rhythms shape each experience, allowing a sense of balance, clarity, and connection to emerge.
THE PLACE
Madreselva is an eco-sustainable retreat rooted in 14 hectares of wild land in Marvão, Alto Alentejo.
Accommodation is offered through a carefully restaured centenary villa and beautiful glamping in yurts and bell tents, creating a simple, comfortable, and immersive stay.
Built with local and reclaimed materials, the space includes composting dry toilets, outdoor showers, a shared kitchen, a temazcal sweat lodge, forest areas, and vegetable gardens.
EVENTS
Madreselva is a place of quiet presence and deep rest.
With over 20 years of experience in holding retreats, we bring care, sensitivity, and professionalism to every detail
A peaceful, heart-centered sanctuary for retreats, training, and artist residencies.
