Custom Villas

We help people build beautiful, energy efficient homes designed for Mediterranean living

Design & build for people who want a reliable team who understands the risks, the system, and an international perspective.

The heart of the problem is this

Building in Spain isn’t risky.
Building without the right support is.

Our clients are confident, capable people,
excited about building their new life in Spain. Amongst our clients are architects and other property professionals. Yet when they get started on a Design & Build project, they find:

  • An unfamiliar legal and planning system
  • A different construction culture
  • Language barriers
  • Budget uncertainty
  • The anxiety of being far away when decisions matter most

That is where we come in

Our six brand promises.
Why Eco Vida Homes is different

We offer Peace of Mind, Systematically Delivered
01

People Risk — Removed

We work only with vetted architects and contractors who share our values and meet our standards. Every team is carefully selected and region-specific.

02

Process Risk — Managed

A clear, proven method: buying land safely, structured design stages, cost control systems, and a disciplined approach to staying on budget.

03

Cultural Risk — Understood

Our founder, John Wolfendale, is a foreigner in Spain — just like you.
Bicultural and bilingual, with over 30 years’ professional experience here he helps you avoid costly misunderstandings.

04

Bureaucracy — Handled

Planning, licences, compliance, administration.
 We manage it all, so you don’t have to.

05

Lifestyle — Put First

We don’t start with the project.
We start with how you want to live — designing homes that support health, comfort, outdoor living, and long-term wellbeing.

06

Comfort & Energy Efficiency — Built In

Every home is designed around Passive-House-inspired principles: comfort, low energy use, and intelligent design — without unnecessary complexity.
