The secret to a happy family? Rituals, chaos, and a place to call home (VIVLA can help)

Picture this: It’s Sunday morning. The smell of freshly brewed coffee fills the air. Someone’s flipping pancakes (or at least trying not to burn them). The kids are running around, and someone in the family is still in their pajamas at noon. Welcome to family rituals—the glue that holds us together, the stories we tell for years, and the reason we somehow survive each other.

A Yale study confirms what we all secretly know: families that have routines and rituals are happier, healthier, and more connected.

 In other words, your annual Christmas matching pajama tradition? Science says it’s making your family emotionally stronger. That secret handshake with your kid? It’s reinforcing trust and security. The yearly trip to your favorite beach house? It’s creating lifelong memories (and probably a few embarrassing family stories).
At VIVLA, we believe that a Casa VIVLA is more than bricks and walls—it’s a stage for these moments. That’s why our co-ownership model isn’t just about smart investing in vacation homes—it’s about making sure your family has a place to return to, grow in, and create traditions that last generations.

The magic of family rituals (yes, even the quirky ones)

Rituals are the things your kids will remember forever—not the fancy hotels or the picture-perfect vacations, but the weird, wonderful, and sometimes chaotic moments. Like:
🎤 The dramatic family debates over the best road trip playlist (cue someone storming off because “Sweet Caroline” played again).
🏖 That unspoken rule that the first one to spot the ocean wins (wins what? No one knows, but it’s a competition).
🍳 The one person who’s always in charge of making breakfast on vacation (and somehow uses every pan in the kitchen).
📸 The group selfie attempt that takes 12 tries because someone is always blinking.
These rituals give families a sense of belonging, comfort, and identity—no matter where life takes them.

The perfect setting for family traditions

Casa Vivla

Now, imagine having a home in Baqueira, Ibiza, Menorca, Jávea, Denia or Sotogrande, where every trip feels like a homecoming. A place where your family can say:
🏡 “This is where we come every chance we get.”
🎿 “This is where you learned how to ski (and fell a hundred times).”
🍷 “This is where we have our legendary family dinners with way too much food.”
VIVLA makes it possible to own a second home without the hassle, so your family can return to the same place, year after year, building traditions without worrying about maintenance, upkeep, or unused time. Just show up, unpack, and let the memories happen.
