The Better Neighbours

Categories

The Better Neighbours runs month-long retreats for artists, remote workers and slow travellers, currently in Sinaia, Romania and Lloret de Mar on Spain's Costa Brava. Romania costs around 670 euros a month or 180 a week, with an 870 all-inclusive tier adding breakfast, and Spain around 865 to 925. Each retreat includes a private double room, coworking, language classes, participant-led workshops and day trips.

The Better Neighbours: month-long retreats, twice a year

The Better Neighbours runs dated month-long retreats rather than a permanent house, currently alternating between Sinaia in the Romanian Carpathians and Lloret de Mar on Spain's Costa Brava. Every participant has a call with the organisers before their spot is confirmed.

What The Better Neighbours Does

  • Two destinations on a published calendar. Sinaia in summer and winter, Lloret de Mar in autumn, each running roughly four weeks.
  • Romania from around 670 euros a month. Or 180 a week, with an 870 all-inclusive tier adding a daily breakfast buffet. Spain around 865 to 925.
  • A private double room with bathroom. In a hotel, with coworking and shared kitchen space.
  • Participant-led workshops. Plus language classes, artist talks, public speaking sessions and an art auction.
  • Day trips included. Girona, Figueres and Barcelona from the Spanish edition.

Why It Makes Sense for Nomads

The two locations are genuinely different and both underused. Sinaia is a Carpathian mountain resort with Peles Castle, hiking and skiing, about two hours from Bucharest and very cheap. Lloret de Mar is Costa Brava, an hour from Barcelona, best in autumn when the summer crowds have gone.

The retreat format means everyone arrives together, which produces a proper cohort rather than a rotating cast. The screening call is part of that.

The operator is clear that privacy comes first: engage as much or as little as you wish. For people who find intensive coliving draining, that framing is useful.

Pricing

Sinaia from around 670 euros for the month or 180 a week, with an 870 all-inclusive option. Lloret de Mar around 865 to 925, or 240 a week.

A cohort, a private room and a screening call, in two places nobody else runs retreats.
