The Story
About
In the spring of 2020, life changed forever when I lost my brother. His passing awakened in me a deep restlessness—a realization that life is too short to be lived within the confines of a corporate career and a single place. I felt a calling to seek more: more meaning, more freedom, and more connection.
During the height of the global lockdowns, while the world stood still, I set out to travel. In October 2020, I arrived in Madeira for the very first time. The island captured my heart instantly. Its breathtaking cliffs, endless ocean views, and powerful natural beauty gave me a sense of belonging I had never felt before.
From that moment, a vision was born. I dreamed of creating a place where people could gather to recharge, to train their bodies, to strengthen their minds, and to reconnect with themselves. A space that would blend inspiration with tranquility, and community with personal growth.
It took five years of searching to find the perfect location. But patience and persistence led to Crossdeira: a villa in paradise with panoramic ocean views, a fully equipped outdoor gym beneath the palm trees, and enough space to welcome small groups who seek transformation.
Today, Crossdeira stands as more than just a villa—it is a sanctuary. A place designed for athletes, entrepreneurs, creators, and explorers from around the world to come together, to challenge themselves, and to leave renewed and inspired.
Crossdeira is not only the fulfillment of a dream, but a tribute to the idea that out of loss can come purpose, and out of change can come something extraordinary.
