Best Sober Coliving Spaces in Europe (2026)
If you're searching for sober coliving in Europe, you'll quickly discover something: the list is very short. This isn't a mature category. There are thousands of colivings across Europe, and almost none of them are built specifically around sobriety.
Most "alcohol-free" coliving claims are either soft policies that nobody enforces, or wellness retreats that happen to not serve wine. An actual sober coliving — purpose-built, community-driven, zero alcohol — is a different thing entirely.
Here's what actually exists right now.
1. Savi Coliving — Valencia, Spain
Location: Sierra Calderona mountains, 25 minutes from Valencia city
Price: From €1,200/month
Stay: 1-3 months minimum
Alcohol policy: Completely sober. No alcohol on the property, no exceptions.
Savi is the most established purpose-built sober coliving in Europe. Founded by Steve Haynes, it's a private villa housing 12-14 residents at a time. The space includes a professional coworking room with dual screens, Starlink WiFi (500Mbps), gym, pool, roof terrace, and a full kitchen where residents cook and eat together.
The application process is selective — every guest is personally reviewed. The community is the core product: founders, creatives, and remote workers who want to live and work in a focused, intentional environment without alcohol.
What sets it apart: this isn't a retreat with a no-drinking policy. It's a coliving designed from the ground up around the principle that clarity produces better work, better relationships, and better living. View Savi Coliving →
2. Sun and Co — Jávea, Spain
Sun and Co is a well-known coliving on the Costa Blanca. It's not specifically a sober coliving, but it attracts a more intentional crowd than many alternatives. Alcohol is present but the culture is more work-focused than party-focused. Worth considering if you want a lower-alcohol environment but don't need full sobriety.
3. Conscious Coliving — Various locations
A few emerging projects across Europe are branding themselves as "conscious coliving" — which sometimes includes reduced alcohol. The term is vague and the execution varies. Look carefully at the actual policy before booking. "Mindful drinking" is not the same as sober.
4. Wellness retreats (with caveats)
Retreats in places like Portugal, Ibiza, and Bali sometimes offer alcohol-free stays. But these are typically short (1-2 weeks), expensive, and structured around programmes — yoga, meditation, breathwork. They're great for a reset, but they're not coliving. You're a customer, not a resident. The community disbands when the programme ends.
Why the list is so short
The coliving industry is still young, and sober coliving is newer still. Most operators don't see the demand because the people who want it aren't asking loudly — they're just quietly leaving spaces that don't work for them.
But the demand is real and growing. The sober-curious movement, the rise of intentional coliving, and the growing awareness among remote workers that alcohol undermines their work — these trends are converging. Expect more options in the coming years.
For now, if you want a genuine sober coliving in Europe, Savi is the reference point.
