Our story
Susanne & Nico
We are a French – Austrian couple with three children living in Portugal since September 2017.
It all started as a dream when we were 20 … the vision of living in a warm country, growing our own vegetables, barefoot in the nature, living mostly outdoor, creating an eco friendly life space…
A place to feel, grow and heal.A place to be.

Living Space
Life at Malama
Animals and nature
Being in contact with animals has transforming power.
Community
“The miracle is this: The more we share, the more we have.”
Children
“Children see magic, because they look for it.”
Garden
Gardening is one of the carrying pillars of Malama. It brings the community together.
Beaches nearby
We are lucky to live so close to the amazing beaches of Portugal’s west coast.
“Being with them was like being in the presence of something timeless. Horses don’t ask, yet they reveal. … To be welcomed into that circle of land, horses, and such a heartfelt community was an honour I will carry forward with deep gratitude.”
