A creative village in the heart of Portugal.
A place for:
Regeneration
Body & Mind
Creativity
Entrepreneurship
Connection
There’s a growing feeling that modern life asks too much and gives too little. We’re connected to everything and somehow less connected to ourselves, to nature, and to each other. Amara is a grounded response: a real village designed for harmony, creativity, and growth. Here, mornings start with birdsong and lake light. Work happens in beautiful, focused spaces. Evenings return to community, movement, and music.
Amara is not a resort and not a subdivision. It’s a place to belong. Built for people who value depth over speed and quality over noise. You can live here year‑round or seasonally, in a rhythm that supports your health, relationships, and meaningful work.

The Vision
Amara is more than a home: it’s a new way of life. We’re building a place where human flourishing is the priority: conscious living, daily balance, and stewardship of the land. Community is curated for alignment, not exclusivity.
Spaces are intentionally simple, materials local and natural, and programs seasonal so the village breathes with the year.
Location & Nature
Set beside one of Portugal’s largest freshwater reservoirs, Amara offers lake views, trails, and a micro‑climate that invites life outdoors.
Lisbon and its international airport are 1h15 away, making arrivals and departures simple. Portugal brings a rare mix of lifestyle, safety, culture, and a welcoming international community.
Plus year‑round access to coastline, forests, and historic towns like nearby Tomar.
Benefits: immersive nature, biodiversity, expansive views, and the proven wellness benefits of daily time outdoors. Time by water has been shown to reduce stress and improve sleep; walks through mixed woodland bring clarity and energy for focused work.
Nearby highlights: Tomar’s Templar heritage, local markets and festivals, riverside villages, and easy access to national parks and the Atlantic coast for weekend adventures.
Community & Lifestyle
Amara attracts open, creative, change-makers, thinkers, families, and founders who value kindness and participation. Daily life finds its rhythm between privacy and togetherness:
* Morning yoga, sport or a swim; focused work in coworking with lake views.
* Workshops, residencies, and talks in the Dome.
* Trails, paddle boarding, music sessions, and stargazing nights.
* Shared meals from the organic shop and restaurants; quiet evenings at home
Balance by design: Homes give you full privacy and quiet; shared spaces make connection easy when you want it. Programming is opt‑in and seasonal: expect movement classes, family activities, concerts, sports, maker sessions, and visiting teachers.
Amenities:
* Dome for events
* Co-working space
* Gym & Sports area
* Yoga shala
* Sauna and hot/cold plunge
* Permaculture garden and food forests
* Organic shops and restaurants
* Alternative school
* Biohacking clinic
* Art and music studios
* Lakeside access
* And many more surprises…
Sustainability & Regeneration
From energy to water to food, Amara is designed to give back more than it takes. Homes are solar‑ready and built with natural and local materials; wetlands help clean water; gardens and orchards support seasonal abundance. Waste is reduced through circular principles and local sourcing.
The Co‑Creator Experience
Amara’s first pioneers are co‑creators, not clients. Joining early means priority choice of home and location, reduced early pricing, and an active role in shaping the village’s culture, programs, and stewardship practices. You’ll help refine amenities, seed traditions, and welcome the next wave of neighbours.
