Your people are already here
Surf at 7am. Deep work by 9. Rooftop dinner with founders, creators, and builders who get it. Survana isn't a coworking space with beds — it's the life you imagined when you went remote.
What makes this different
Survana isn't a hostel with a coworking desk. It's a curated house for people building real things.
Builders, not tourists
Everyone at Survana is working on something. A startup, a book, a coaching practice, a blockchain protocol. The house selects for ambition and follow-through.
No cliques, no drama
3 bedrooms, max 6 people at a time. Small enough that everyone knows everyone. Big enough that you can find a quiet corner for deep work.
Show up as you are
Past residents include a Shark Tank founder, an MIT blockchain researcher, a Forbes Council member, and someone who left corporate to become a breathwork facilitator. There's no mold.
The house keeps going
Alumni stay connected through the house WhatsApp group long after they leave. Introductions, referrals, and reunion trips happen year-round.
A typical week
Everything is optional. Nothing is mandatory. But something is always happening.
Founder Hours
Informal co-working on the terrace. Share what you're building, get feedback, swap intros.
Toastmasters
Public speaking practice with Lisbon's English-speaking Toastmasters clubs. Several offer hybrid attendance from Ericeira.
House Dinners
Residents take turns cooking. Portuguese cataplana, Brazilian feijoada, Korean bibimbap — depends who's in that month.
Ice Baths & Breathwork
Cold exposure sessions with local practitioners. Some at the house, some at White Fountain Ecopark.
Latin Dance Night
Bachata workshop at 8pm then salsa, bachata & kizomba social dancing at BreakPoint Ericeira. All levels. €5 entry.
Surf Sessions
Group surf at Foz do Lizandro or Ribeira d'Ilhas. Boards and wetsuits rentable nearby. Group lessons from €35.
Freedom City Church
English-speaking international church in Lisbon. Services at 16:30 & 18:15 near Rato metro.
Karaoke in Lisbon
Monthly group trip to Lisbon. 30-minute drive, usually 8–12 people, always chaotic in the best way.
House WhatsApp Group
The moment you book, you're added to the house WhatsApp group. Surf conditions at 7am, lunch plans, “anyone driving to Lisbon tonight?”, work questions, restaurant recs, and the occasional meme war. Current and past residents stay in the group, so your network keeps growing after you leave.

Coworking Partners
Work from the house terrace for free, or switch it up at a partner space. All three offer affordable day passes — no monthly commitment needed.
Kelp Cowork
The go-to spot for Ericeira nomads. Biophilic design, rooftop terrace, phone booths, fibre internet. 5-minute walk from Survana.
Coastal Cowork Collective
Ocean views, quieter vibe, great for deep work and client calls. Right next to Kelp if you want to switch it up.
SITIO AI HUB
2,230m² tech hub in Alvalade, Lisbon. Microsoft AI partnership, 140-seat auditorium, startup programs. For big-city energy days.
Survana tip: Most residents work from the house terrace 3–4 days a week and use a coworking space 1–2 days for variety. At €17/day, a coworking day pass costs less than lunch. No monthly commitment needed.
Weekend escape
White Fountain Ecopark
Rio Maior · 30 min from Ericeira
A nature retreat the community escapes to on weekends. Swimming pool, ice baths, camping under the stars, fire singing sessions, and seasonal festivals. Right next to Europe's only interior salt mines at Salinas de Rio Maior. The perfect reset from screen time.
Swimming Pool
Open-air, surrounded by nature
Ice Baths
Cold plunge & guided breathwork
Camping Nights
Tents, campfires, zero signal
Salt Mines
Europe's only interior salt pans
