The Villa Vieira is one of the Byron Hinterland’s most special secrets. The dream-child of Abigail O’Neill and her builder husband, Gerard O’Neill, the Villa Vieira is a marriage of artistic and holistic wellbeing.

Villa Vieira holds in its veins the accents of Madeira and Abigail’s Portuguese island heritage.

Ethos

We believe in artistry that emerges in connection to Earth, fostered by a holistic internal and natural environment. Our guests reflect authentically on their purpose and mission during their stay and leave the Villa feeling regenerated and refreshed.

We value craft over productivity. The greater property the Villa is situated on is a place of industry, with organic gardens, animals, balancing a lively family and work life.

We believe artistry occurs in relationship to reality. The Villa’s hosts and collaborators are working women and family members with two or more primary occupations.

The Villa welcomes all who seek the plentitude of nature and encourages a deepened discovery of autonomy.
