Start Now!Eco-Village Stay: A Conscious Way of Living, Traveling, and Thriving
Imagine waking up in a handmade earth dome, eating breakfast harvested 20 meters from your door, and joining neighbors in a morning meditation circle. Eco-Village Stays on Retreaty Club offer more than sustainable travel—they invite you into a functioning, values-aligned micro-society focused on regeneration, inclusion, and wellness.
These intentional communities are springing up in India, Brazil, France, and Thailand, welcoming travelers who want to learn by living. Many visitors come seeking an alternative to mainstream tourism, craving authenticity, co-creation, and shared purpose.
What Is an Eco-Village Stay?
An eco-village is a community designed to be socially, culturally, economically, and ecologically sustainable. According to the Global Ecovillage Network, they are "laboratories for the future"—places where innovation in low-impact living is embedded into daily life. At Retreaty Club, Hosts offer access to:
-
Bioclimatic architecture & off-grid housing
-
Community farming & reforestation
-
Group wellness sessions, from breathwork to cultural arts
-
Regenerative economy projects (e.g., food co-ops, natural building, skill shares)
Why Are Eco-Village Stays So Popular Now?
In an age of burnout and disconnection, more travelers are trading luxury for belonging. A recent Booking.com study shows that 71% of global travelers want experiences that foster genuine connection—with people and place. Eco-villages meet this need with immersive participation, not passive consumption.

Shared plant-based meals grown and cooked on-site

Daily communal activities like yoga, permaculture, meditation, or art
-
Cultural exchange through storytelling, music, dance, and language
