Kalart is a rural coliving community located in the Montseny Valley, just 45km from Barcelona. The space brings together changemakers, entrepreneurs, and creatives in a peaceful countryside setting within a UNESCO Natural Park. Kalart offers 14 private rooms, coworking spaces, and communal vegetarian lunches, fostering a family-like community focused on social impact and personal growth.
Roger and Nohemi founded Kalart in 2019 with a vision to bring creative minds together under one roof and help people develop themselves while working on projects for the benefit of society. The founders launched the coliving after years of traveling and gaining experience in tourism, holistic wellness, and education projects. Their combined experiences allowed Kalart to evolve into the multi-faceted social organization it is today, becoming the first-ever rural coliving in Catalonia. The location in the Montseny Valley was chosen strategically, as this area had already developed into a cultural hub attracting artists, musicians, therapists, and yoga teachers from around the world since the late 1970s, creating a natural "migratory circuit" from Barcelona's alternative neighborhoods to the countryside.
Kalart operates on three core principles: work-life balance, inspiring changemakers, and local & social impact. The community believes that coliving and coworking in a sustainable, collaborative and rural environment can empower people to thrive. They maintain a handpicked community to ensure harmony and balance among residents, carefully selecting members who share their values of sustainability, social change, and equality.
The space provides an environment for purpose-driven entrepreneurship and encourages residents to listen to their inner compass while growing professionally and personally. Kalart calls their residents "changemakers" - individuals between 30-45 years old who want to live purposefully, are interested in nature and holistic practices, and seek professional fulfillment while improving society. The community takes communal living seriously, describing themselves as "a family with an extended tribe," with over 35% of residents eventually settling in the valley permanently.
Kalart is a rural farmhouse surrounded by farmland at the foot of the Montseny Natural Park (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve). The property sits in the Montseny Valley, between Sant Esteve and Santa Maria de Palautordera — a multicultural enclave home to over 16 nationalities, with a rich history of artists, circus performers, and creative communities who settled here from the 1970s onwards.
The valley is an ecological mosaic of beech forests, mountain rivers, and peaks such as the Turó de l'Home (1,708 m), with beautiful hiking trails that change with each season. Guests describe the surroundings as quiet and peaceful, with lush natural forest and mountains in every direction, and the local village of Sant Esteve de Palautordera — charming and lively, with a good variety of shops and restaurants — just a short walk away.
Despite its rural tranquility, the location is far from isolated: Barcelona is just 40 km away, Girona 50 km, and the Mediterranean coast is reachable in around 20–30 minutes by car.
