Tips
Desert(including desolates), mountains and map boarders also help

[Kolopaper]

Take over villages until you surround a neutral village. When you do that, it becomes a sanctuary As said above, desert, mountains and map borders help you with that automatically since you can't conquer those.

You can also take over a bunch of villages and then abandon the one that's in a good sanctuary location. It especially helps to do this when placing your Garden Resort. One of Ecaz's advisors has a trait that gives a 100% Authority refund for abandoning villages specifically so that you can do this. It's also smart to fill the village with masterpieces before abandoning it.
It might also be a good idea to abandon masterpiece-filled villages on your borders or in any villages you happen to take close to enemy capitals or in otherwise untenable positions, so that if any opponents come and take the provinces, they have to hurt their Authority and Landsraad Standing destroying your artwork if they want to use those building slots.

Even abandoning villages like in the scenario above when you don't have the certain advisor that gives your authority back can be worth it since it makes the cost of your next annex lower too anyway

Something important to note about those Sanctuary villages, they are basically a free bank of solari and military exp for Ecaz as Ecaz can still pillage them if you have time and resources to do that

I never considered pillaging them... I just place down 5 monuments and then call it a day LOL

Edit: Ok, Pillaging them is actually pretty GOAT, if you have 5 Masterpieces then that's also a decent amount of Plascrete which is nice, not sure why I've only really heard people say bad things about Mesa, then again not heard much about Ecaz in general so probably 1 or 2 people who don't much care for the catch and release style of play.
