Artista Creative

Artista Creative Vacations is the artistic branch of Manifesta Safaris, offering world premier experiences for women since 1997. The core commitment to guests is to help them reach their full potential by providing life altering experiences. Villa Vita International is proud to offer these amazing programs.

The inspiring location of Carmel-by-the-Sea, was established as a bohemian artist and writers colony after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Since then, it's been the home and inspiration of greats such as Robinson Jeffers, Salvador Dali, and Ansel Adams. Today Carmel offers that same sense of beauty and promise.

Artista Creative collaging vacation focuses on the creation of modern artworks from a variety of materials. Handmade paper, fabrics, photos, and found objects are layered onto the paper, canvas, or wood surfaces and enhanced with acrylics, beeswax, or whatever piques your imagination. The resulting works are a visual and tactile delight with luminous layers interacting with luscious textures and surfaces.  This process offers endless opportunities for your creative expression.

The Art of Escape

Best Travel Experience

By Kitty Bean Yancey, USA TODAY


"Unleashing my long-dormant inner artist at an Artista Creative Safaris' women-only "intuitive painting" workshop in Carmel, Calif., made me understand why learning vacations and girl getaways are so hot right now. Guzzling wine and splashing acrylic paint to music got creativity flowing — aided by chocolate, gal talk and a Cosmo-fueled, fruitless search for local icon/inn owner Clint Eastwood."
