Coliving is more than just a place to stay; it is about fostering meaningful connections and creating a positive impact on the local economy. At POMAR Coliving, we are committed to integrating our community into the Algarve’s ecosystem by working closely with local businesses, farmers, and artisans.
Supporting local agriculture
One of the ways we contribute to the local economy is through our partnership with a farmer in Estoi. Every week, our guests visit the farm to hand-pick their fruits and vegetables instead of simply purchasing them from a supermarket. This not only provides a unique and immersive experience but also directly supports small-scale local agriculture.
Supporting local businesses
Beyond agriculture, our colivers actively engage with various local businesses, helping to sustain them throughout the year, especially during the off-season. Many of our guests:
- Subscribe to a CrossFit box or gym in Olhão and Faro
- Visit a local masseur for wellness treatments
- Dine at neighborhood restaurants at least twice a week
- Support local associations : Beach cleaning etc
By consistently choosing local services, our community ensures that businesses benefit from steady support, even outside peak tourist seasons.
Long-term stays over fast tourism
Unlike traditional tourism, where visitors stay for just a few days, our colivers typically spend an average of one month at POMAR. This extended stay fosters a deeper connection with the community and promotes sustainable consumption.
A new way to experience the algarve
By choosing coliving, our guests embrace a way of life that is both sustainable and enriching. POMAR Coliving is not just about accommodation; it is about creating a home away from home while respecting and uplifting the local environment. The Algarve is not just a destination, it is a community that thrives when we engage with it responsibly.
