Innovating Sustainable Living in Algarve

Welcome to
Arcadia Portugal

A vision for a new kind of retreat, where design experiments with earth, lime, and stone. Where hospitality becomes slower, quieter, and rooted in the rhythms of the land.

Inspired by Algarve’s ancestral techniques and by what might come next.

Reimagining How We Build and Live

We aim to use the rich Portuguese building and architectural heritage
to craft new and affordable option for an ecological living.

Earthen Building Craft

Applying the wisdom of ancestral Mediterranean techniques to build modern design with natural materials.

Renewing Hospitality & Community

More than a lodge, Arcadia explores ways to host, gather, and reconnect, drawing from Algarve’s rural rhythms and communal past.

Passive design that respects the habitat, with curved structures, domes and patios to shape human experience in a positive light.
