Our Story

At Nala Village, we explore uncharted territory where new challenges and goals arise. We are driven by the desire for freedom, adventure, and independence and are not restricted by typical boundaries. We are on a continuous journey of discovery on personal and spiritual levels.

Explorations give us the stimulus to challenge the status quo and innovate. We go beyond conformity and strive to create and inspire a new, balanced, sustainable way of living and working.

We provide a sense of belonging and harmony with ourselves, others, and nature. We strive to grow a tribe of like-hearted people united by shared vision and values.
