Description of objectAs the name suggests, the Natural Elements apartment draws inspiration from the beauty of nature. The design of this wonderfully unique living space brings together a wealth of natural materials. The bedroom design incorporates the famous cork oaks of Portugal, a beautiful mosaic and wood finishes, while the bathroom is styled on the stunning vistas of the desert – complete with sand dunes created with Moroccan plastering techniques. The open-plan living room and kitchen area also boast many natural elements, such a cork, stone and wood.The Natural Elements Apartment features: • one bedroom with double bed (160cm x 200cm) • bathroom with shower, toilet and sink, • a corridor with wardrobe • a split level down (50 cm 3 steps) open space living, dining and kitchen area • a simple, rural kitchen with fridge, gas stove with oven, extraction fan and utensils. • a low loft to sleep up to 2 children, accessed by a wooden ladder • fire place for winter • terrace • decking with great view • free wifi • hairdryer on request (for reasons of energy efficiency, please don’t bring your own) • use of washing machine (not in the apartment but nearby) • breakfast, lunch or dinner on request The living area contains a comfy, bespoke sofa situated near a cosy wood-burner. A tiny oven built into the stove means that, on a cold day, you could even make a fire and cook a cake, should the mood take you. The windows to the front of the apartment grant an amazing view of the valley and access to a beautiful wooden decking area (more than 30m²), complete with outside shower and plenty of space for lounging, sitting, or doing yoga. On the other side we have a tiled outside area – for extra sun exposure in the morning and on windy days. Through this side you can also access your vehicle’s parking area, located just 30 meters away from the apartment, at the end of a wide, slate-paved path. Electricity, water and gas are included in the price; you will only pay for wood in the winter if you choose to make a fire. The building is centrally heated. For guests with children we can provide cots for the bedroom. Younger children can sleep on an extra bed in the living room or, if over seven years old, can use the low mezzanine level – a great adventure for kids (accessed via a small staircase). Alternatively, if they are old enough, we have a fully decorated yurt (Mongolian Tent – see website for pictures) within sight of the apartment. Please check for availability. Location of objectThe apartments are part of the Vida Pura eco retreat and inspiration land. As well as staying in accommodation full of natural materials, you will get to enjoy a 100% ecological holiday experience. Not only does the retreat harness its energy from sun and wind, but we also source our own water, treat our own drainage and produce a lot of our own food.The retreat features a biodynamic farm which creates great natural produce for you to enjoy, if you so wish, and we have lots of delicious, home-made products available to you. The farm contains various animals; we have chickens, ducks, cats, dogs and donkeys, that all play their part in helping us sustain this rewarding lifestyle – both as committed co-workers and as domestic companions. We recycle our glass, plastic, paper, metal and food and, because we produce our own renewable energy, we operate with a very low carbon output and minimal waste. Consequently, you can relax, safe in the knowledge that your holiday is putting no additional strain on the planet. Of course, we ask our workers, visitors and guests to help us adhere to this low-impact ethos. Since we acquire most of our energy from the sun, our supply is limited to what nature gives us. As such, we must ask everyone to be kind to our system; heavy electricity usage and the use of high-consumption appliances – such as irons, hair dryers, etc. – will quickly drain our power supply. If you require the use of such items, we have special, low energy ones we can provide when needed. Of course, this doesn’t mean to say you’ll be sat in the dark if the sun isn’t out; we will always provide energy, but it’s part of the Vida Pura experience to be conscious of your usage. The same goes for water. Since you are staying at a retreat we provide more than just the apartment; you can come and see, first-hand, what eco living means. We give tours, host workshops and organise excursions, all related to ecology, relaxation, creativity, and connecting with nature. Last but not least, this project is humanitarian in nature, and profits are put toward , humanitarian projects. We aim to support projects from all over the world – both financially and with hands-on help. In this way we can do our bit to help those who devote their lives to aiding others: humans or animals in need. Both professionally and personally, we live ecologically and ethically as pure as possible. This is how we live our life the Vida Pura way. Guest services: • drop-off service in town or beach • tours and excursions • surf lessons and board rental • free parking • donkey trekking • workshops • self sustainability tour (eco building info) • yoga • massage • biodynamic garden Town: Portugal, Odeceixe, OdeceixeEmbedded by the eco reserve that "Vida Pura eco retreat" is situated in and a short drive 6 km away from the stunning beach of Odeceixe, one of the seven miracle beaches of Portugal, we have the best of both worlds to offer.During the day and especially at night it is so quiet you can hear a pin drop, the nocturnal animals sing their songs and the stream that divides the Algarve and the Alentejo trickles endlessly over the land. Apart from our houses that are built as ecologically as possible we have a beautiful biodynamic garden that produces lovely food for you to enjoy. Great walks and strolls by the river stream can be undertaken. If you want some more movement but not too much you can take a bike, walk or drive to Odeceixe, a little sleepy town where time has stood still. Around the area traditionalism is very tangible, agriculture and fishery are one of the main activities. An area where donkeys are still ploughing the fields and the fish is served straight from the boat onto your plate. Odeceixe Beach is a 1st price winning beach in the huge Natural Park that surrounds it. The beach is great for surfing, body boarding and sunbathing. It lends itself for playing lots of games and because of its width during low tide it’s almost a round beach. The stream that runs over our land flows into the sea. At the riverside the ocean’s waves are cancelled out and harnesses great opportunity for families with smaller kids. Recently the Rota Vicentina has been installed, an unbelievable experience for trekking minded people. A trail that runs right by our land goes for hundreds of kilometres over the coastline and partly inland as well.
