The StartArt model
StartArt Residency is a fully equipped space where facilitators, teachers and organisations can host retreats without the complexity of building everything from scratch.

Our space, schedule, and team are tuned to these formats. If your work doesn't fit one cleanly, that's fine — most of our best retreats are hybrids. The verticals just tell you what we already have ready.
TTCs, active resting, breath work, meditation, and other Wellness activites. Indoor studio with sprung floor and beautiful green gardens outdoor. Cushions, blocks, straps for 26 already on site.
Art & Hike
Quiet rooms, the library nook, long-table dinners that turn into readings. We block weekday Wi-Fi quotas if your group needs it. Writers tend to extend their stays.
Held with discretion. Soundproofed indoor studio, on-call medic relationship in Braga, integration spaces near the river. Plant medicine retreats considered case-by-case.
Fasting, ayurvedic, silent retreats. Healthy and nutricional vegetarian menus at no surcharge. Local naturopath and bodyworkers we trust on call.
Founder strategy weeks, design sprints, leadership resets - produtivity focused. Fast fiber, projector, breakout zones — without the conference-hotel feel. We block the property exclusively for you.

Do I take the financial risk on registration, or do you?
How do you co-market my retreat?
Can I bring my own facilitators / chef / DJ / bodyworker?
How far in advance should I book?
What about insurance and liability?
Can the food be customised?
Is there a minimum stay?
Do you host plant medicine retreats?
What if a participant has a medical issue mid-retreat?
