Marc and Justyna’s Story
We’re Marc and Justyna—two city dwellers who, like many of you, know the grind of long hours at work, the never-ending noise, and the constant feeling of being "on." We live in a world that moves too fast, and we found ourselves longing for something more—a space to breathe, to disconnect, and to reconnect with what truly matters.
We don’t have a second home, a place to escape to when life becomes overwhelming. So, we started looking for unique stays with people who share our values—people who treat their homes like sanctuaries, who cherish their surroundings and live in tune with nature. These stays became our retreat, our moments of calm in a busy world. We would leave feeling like we had reconnected not just with nature but with ourselves.
Almas Locales was born from this desire. Like you, we seek more from travel than just checking off tourist spots or scrolling through endless options on giant booking platforms. We craved something curated, thoughtful, and meaningful—a place that would feel like a second home, every time in a different place.
Why We Created Almas Locales
We know how frustrating it can be to sift through hundreds of listings, hoping to find somewhere that resonates with you, somewhere that helps you truly unplug. That’s why we decided to do the work for you. At Almas Locales, we’ve made it our mission to handpick locations that offer much more than just a bed for the night.
We only work with hosts who share our values—those who are passionate about their spaces, the environment, and the people they welcome. Every stay is carefully selected to provide you with not just a place to sleep, but a true connection to the local culture, the land, and the people. Our goal is to ensure that every moment of your stay helps you slow down, breathe, and live intentionally.
"At Almas Locales, you’ll find more than just a place to stay—you’ll find a second home, a space to breathe, and an opportunity to live in the moment."
What You Can Expect
At Almas Locales, you won’t find generic listings. Instead, we’ve created a collection of homes that reflect the warmth, simplicity, and beauty of slow living. When you stay with us, you’re not just booking a room—you’re stepping into a thoughtfully curated experience where:
- Nature surrounds you: Our properties are chosen for their natural settings, whether that’s the calming forest, peaceful countryside, or tranquil coastlines. These are places where you can truly disconnect from the world and immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings.
- Local people welcome you: We work closely with hosts who pour love into their homes, ensuring every detail is just right for your comfort. You’ll be welcomed not just as a guest, but as someone invited into a cherished space.
- Sustainability is at the heart: We care deeply about the environment and the communities we work with. Our stays promote sustainable practices— from using renewable energy to supporting local economies through locally sourced products and services.
More Than a Stay: A Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple: we believe in living more and rushing less. Whether you’re like us—tired, burnt out, craving meaningful travel—or you simply want to reconnect with nature and yourself, we’ve created Almas Locales to be your retreat.
This is more than just accommodation—it’s a way of living, a way to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel at home wherever you go. You’ll leave knowing you’ve contributed to something bigger: a movement toward sustainability, local connection, and more thoughtful travel.
Your Second Home, Every Time in a Different Place
Travel should feel like coming home, no matter where you go. That’s the feeling we hope to give you. A second home doesn’t have to be a single place—it’s about finding comfort and peace wherever you land. At Almas Locales, you’ll find new places to explore, but the warmth, care, and attention to detail will always stay the same.
Let us take care of finding your perfect retreat, so you can focus on what really matters—disconnecting, recharging, and living the moment.
