Zen Retreat In Nature


Ribeira Brava | Madeira | Portugal

Like Never Before

SAUDADE RESIDENCES

Every moment spent within this space feels like time stands still. It’s as though the world around you fades and your mind is transported to a state of tranquillity. Your natural rhythm slows, and a serene, mesmerizing calmness envelops you—one that’s almost transcendent.

This is Saudade, more than a residence—it is a philosophy of joyful reminiscence and longing. A sanctuary designed to take you back to the essence of what it truly feels like to arrive home. A metaphysical, cinematic zen retreat, sculpted around the breathtaking landscape that surrounds it.

FUTURISTIC AND YET, EARTHED

Saudade is an invitation to live differently, to immerse yourself in rustic outfields whilst embracing the cutting-edge technology of tomorrow. Every design decision speaks to a harmonious balance between health, wellbeing, and the future, powered by the latest innovations to create an autonomous, fully connected living environment.

BREATHTAKING

Perched in the small township of Ribeira Brava, the hinterland of Madeira’s southern coastline, the Saudade retreat offers a stunning view of volcanic hillsides to the north and dramatic, endless seas to the south. The location is a celebration of nature’s extremes, where the lush green mountains collide with the untamed Atlantic Ocean.
