At Tripwix Luxury Rentals, we’re redefining luxury travel by curating cultural, purpose-driven experiences. With that in mind, we’re proud to announce our new partnership with the Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF), a charitable organization that uses contemporary art to support underprivileged children through expressive art therapy  programs throughout Portugal. 

Operating across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe, SAF is best known for its Sovereign Art Prizes and community-based initiatives. In Portugal, the foundation has a strong presence in Estremoz, at the iconic Howard’s Folly winery, making it the perfect partner for Tripwix’s commitment to meaningful luxury and giving back. 

Why This Partnership Matters 

This collaboration aligns beautifully with Tripwix’s core values: 

“We believe luxury should have heart. This partnership reflects our values in the most beautiful way.” — Lisa Bruno, Founder of Tripwix  

 
“Art has the power to heal, inspire, and unite. Partnering with Tripwix expands our reach in ways that are both meaningful and impactful.” — Tanya Bennett, SAF 

Pig Parade 2025 – A Colorful Celebration with Purpose 

We recently joined SAF for their much-anticipated Pig Parade, a vibrant charity event hosted at Howard’s Folly in Estremoz. The event featured 200 pig sculptures painted live by local and international artists, creating a joyful, creative atmosphere where art and community spirit came together. 

Guests enjoyed not only the live art but also excellent music, and of course, exceptional wine—all while supporting SAF’s impactful programs for disadvantaged children. The energy and generosity of the evening highlighted the true potential of partnerships that bring art and philanthropy into shared focus.

 Purpose-Driven Luxury 

At Tripwix, we’re passionate about creating purpose-driven travel experiences that are as enriching as they are luxurious. Our collaboration with SAF allows us to extend our values of creativity, generosity, and cultural appreciation to our guests, while directly supporting children in need. 

We look forward to sharing more initiatives, art experiences, and ways to give back—because true luxury is not just about where you stay, but what you support along the way.
