TibiThe first real development place of Arts Villages.

A real site where people build, live, learn and run ventures. You can come — as a guest, for a limited time, without committing to anything.

01 / What Tibi is

A place that is being built right now.

Tibi lies in the hinterland of Alicante. Here the Arts Villages model is not described but done: families live here, people build, learn, grow food and run ventures. Tibi is evidence of the model — not its definition.

Location

Alicante, Spain

Hinterland, its own site. Landscape and neighbours are part of the place.

Status

Being built

Real land, a founder base of tiny homes and campers, real family use. Infrastructure, education and the operating model are being built.

What happens here

Living, building, learning, ventures

Everyday life with families, the build process, food and land use, education experiments, first business units.

What Tibi is not

Not a finished Village

No finished school, no guaranteed housing, no finished community. Unfinished infrastructure is part of the picture.

02 / How you come here
The stay

Come as a Voyager.

A Voyager Stay is a paid stay at Tibi of up to three weeks. You live here, work here, meet the people and see for yourself what is being built. It does not have to become more than that.

  • LengthUp to three weeks. After that the stay ends — there is no automatic extension.
  • PaymentThe stay is paid in advance. Rates depend on the period and the accommodation and are agreed when you enquire.
  • CommitmentNone. No founder status, no work contribution, no investment, no promised place in the project.
  • What is includedLiving at the place, everyday life, meeting people, selected activities and formats on site.
Plainly said

The stay stands on its own. It is a complete experience and a real product — whether or not anything further comes of it.

03 / Optional deeper layer

Founder Experience.

Experience what it means to help shape an emerging Arts Village. The Founder Experience is not a separate date and not a separate product — it is a layer that can open up during a Voyager Stay.

For experienced founders, builders, entrepreneurial families and people who want to understand more deeply how this place works. Whether the Founder Experience is available during your stay is something we agree beforehand.

  • Selected conversations with the people who carry the place
  • Selected build and work sessions
  • Insight into the operating model and the Essentials
  • Giving feedback and contributing your own experience
  • Thinking through the real open questions of the place
What it is not

Founder Experience means experience, contribution and mutual exploration. It grants no founder status, no decision or governance rights, no ownership, no residency, no investment obligation and no guaranteed long-term participation.

Contribution ≠ decision
Experience ≠ status
Presence ≠ belonging

Ideas, experience and feedback are welcome and they matter. Decisions about the place stay with the people who carry lasting responsibility for it.

04 / What happens after

After three weeks the stay ends.

This is not only a booking rule. The boundary protects everyday life at the place, the families and children who live here, and clarity about who holds which role.

01

The stay ends

After three weeks at the latest. There is no automatic extension and no quietly staying on.

02

Both sides take a look

Was it a fit? Is there something both sides want to continue? A no is a good outcome on either side.

03

A next step is agreed separately

If both sides want to continue, the next step is discussed and agreed separately. It never follows automatically from the stay.
