Sea of Love is a holistic center, an alternative wedding venue, glamping accommodation, and most importantly a social project that aids the local community which is funded by the main business activities.

At this moment, we are raising funds to make all of this a reality.

If Sea of Love speaks to you but you'd like to know more before investing, please reach out to us. We'd love to answer your questions.

I sincerely appreciate your help.

Holistic Center

We like to do things differently. And so do many other people out there. The wellness and spiritual spheres are saturated with people driven by selfish desires. We're in the business to create a meaningful impact and a more loving world.

Our dream is to create a space where people can feel seen, heard, and loved.

We organize holistic retreats for people from all over the world who want to come to the Azores and seek tranquility and restoration, and want to spend some quality time away from the online world to go on a journey within.

Alternative Wedding Ceremonies

We organize alternative intimate weddings and elopements for couples and their closest ones.

These ceremonies are intended for partners who want to honor their sacred union and create a core memory that will guide them through their relationship as they grow together.

All wedding ceremonies are designed with sustainability in mind using natural resources and reusing previously used decorations.

Accommodation Site

Cabins or glamping is a sustainable solution to the Airbnb crisis in Portugal.

Currently, the Azores don't have Airbnb regulations and more and more people are turning houses and apartments into short-term rentals for tourists, causing a lack of accommodation for locals and a radical increase in long-term rental prices.

An accommodation site does not only offer affordable accommodation for tourists but also creates more short-term housing options without compromising local economy and social situation.

Social Project for Children

The purpose of our social project is to provide professional support for children and teenagers who come from families with drug addiction.

Our goal is to create a project that fully funds regular psychotherapy sessions and leisure activities for children following in their family's footsteps. According to research, a child whose parent suffers from drug addiction has up to a 60% chance of dealing with drug addiction later in life.

By providing leisure activities, we're also providing children with a space where they can feel safe, accepted, and connected to their peers.

Sea of Love is not only a personal dream but also a way to create multiple new employment opportunities. We prioritize people born and raised in the Azores over foreigners unless there is a job position that a local doesn't have the expertise to fulfill. This is in order to give back to the local community and provide Azoreans with fair opportunities.

For our social project, we hire local mental health professionals and activity leaders living on Sao Miguel island, supporting the local job market.

We also hire individuals to help us with regular cleaning, property maintenance, social media, and more.

Currently, the minimum Azorean wage is €861 per month which is €645-€722 after taxes. This is also what the majority of people earn. That's around €5 per hour.

For reference, rental prices have risen in the past couple of years to an average of €700 per month for a 2-bedroom apartment.

We sincerely feel it's our responsibility to return the favor to the islanders who allowed us to share their piece of home with them to provide them with a better future.

New Job Opportunities for Azoreans

What will the funds be used for?

The principal expense that I am not going to be able to cover myself is the purchase of the land on the Sao Miguel island. I am doing my best to save everything I earn to make this dream come true.

I keep searching for land every single day. I've already found land that I'm pursuing at this very moment mainly because of its size, location, price, and options to build.

The approximate cost is going to be from EUR 80,000 to EUR 130,000.
