At Casa Shen we invite you to experience a peaceful and down-to-earth stay surrounded by the beauty of southern Portugal. Here, life moves at a gentler pace.

Our home combines the simplicity of off-grid living with comfort and warmth. You can stay in one of our cozy tents or bring your own and camp close to nature. All stays include three freshly prepared healthy vegan meals a day.

Casa Shen is easy to reach yet feels wonderfully remote. We are about 20 minutes from the town Monchique, less than 90 minutes from Faro airport, and the nearest beach is just 35 minutes away.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do — from solar power and natural water sources to a mindful way of living close to the rhythm of nature. Whether you join us as a guest or as a volunteer helping with our self-sufficiency projects, we hope your time here will inspire you, help you unwind, and offer a glimpse into a simpler, more connected way of life.
We are still lovingly building Casa Shen by hand, creating an off-grid retreat for healing, Qigong, and reconnection. Every stay supports this growing vision.
All stays include three fresh vegan meals daily, prepared with local and self-grown ingredients.


All bell tents and rooms are equipped with comfortable beds, fresh washable duvets and bedding. We have 2 compost toilets on site and one solar shower with warm water.
Our room "Samatā" has a double bed and a desk.
Extra bed can be added if needed.
"Ashiyana" is equipped with a double bed and two extra beds upon request. As well as a desk and log burner for heating
To book your stay, simply email us directly — a small deposit confirms your booking.
We recommend staying at least one week to truly settle into the rhythm of Casa Shen and feel the benefits of the practice, nature, and stillness.
