Take off your shoes,
feel free, relax and reload
A place to connect and have the comfort and space to retreat.
“Think of all the fun and relaxing things to do barefoot: surf, yoga, swim, beach, at home, on the couch, shower, sleep, sex…”
Pretty damn happy
Olá! I’m Marion, 38 and born in the Netherlands. After living an adventurous and fun life in Utrecht, I followed a long spoken dream to the ocean. Together with my partner and 3 kids, we found our little paradise in Portugal.
We can smell the ocean when we wake up and have the space and nature around us to do the things we love. Feel the sand between our toes, build sandcastles on the most beautiful beaches, connect with ourselves while surfing, doing yoga or walk through the amazing nature here. But also the like-minded people we’ve met, became close friends and made us feel at home, in paradise. Pretty damn happy!
During all my travels and experiences, either alone or with others, I rarely found that place where I could totally reload.
I love meeting new people, find a surf or yoga buddy and have a good inspiring talk and laugh at the campfire. But I don’t like the nuisance and mess of all co-residents in a hostel (anymore). But a hotel wasn’t an option either, too boring and unsociable. So where to go? Where can I get that paradise feeling?
For me that feeling is to take off my shoes, relax, feel free and unwind. For me that feeling is Barefoot!
The coziness of a hostel and the luxury of a hotel
I decided to work on my Barefoot ideas and how to share it with others. To help getting that feeling, I created the idea of a ‘mature hostel’. A combination of the coziness of a hostel, where we can connect with others. And the luxury of a hotel, where we can have the comfort and space to retreat.
