MillSpace
It's a beautiful water mill that has been here for hundreds of years, lovingly restored in nature, with stunning mountain views and walks. If you like nature, sustainable living and are interested in holistic practices, you will enjoy our space. Equally people who have hospitality skills or love of healthy eating and want peaceful place to volunteer would enjoy our place. We are 15 minutes drive from the local town and beach. We have bikes to use in your time off!
We are an English couple who left a city life to start a new, more conscious life in Spain. Both from creative backgrounds, Rob a graphic designer in London and Pamela worked in fashion, a costume maker/stylist and later trained as a yoga teacher following many years of her own practice. We followed a dream with our then 11 year old daughter (now 16). We love to see people come and transform from the retreats they attend and we hope we hold the space for them to do this with kindness, support and nourishing food.
Volunteers are treated like family. We appreciate our volunteers very much and all their hard work to help us make these retreats happen, as our guests experience is important to us. We want our volunteers to go away with new friends and fond memories, and learning a few things from the exchange.:)
During retreats we ask our volunteers to work a few hours more and we exchange that time with free time here at the Mill in between retreats :) All food and accommodation are included.
We ask people not to apply if they have a drug, drinking or addiction problem, as this is a quiet holistic wellness space.
We look forward to hearing from you

About the experience in: Almería, Spain
Ukraine
There isn’t enough space to express how much I loved this experience. I'm truly inspired by the space Pam and Rob have created, and there is so much to learn from them. They respected our agreed working hours, and the tasks were varied and not too demanding. The volunteer area is well equipped. Mill Space is perfect for nature lovers, with plenty of interesting places nearby. Pam and Rob are also happy to arrange lifts to and from town. At times, I felt like part of the family and I would be happy to return because, even in a short time, this place truly felt like a home away from home🥹

I had a great experience here with Pam and Rob! The volunteer tasks were fun, the workload was very fair and they were always conscious not to over work us. Mill space is a very quiet place, so perfect for you if you're looking for time to yourself to recharge, while staying in a homely environment with lovely people. It's also a unique opportunity to learn more about vegetarian cooking, sustainable living and housekeeping. I would definitely recommend and wish them all the best for the future! thank you <3

Hi Jess, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and had fun we were very happy with the tasks you were asked to do. It was a shame you suffered a bit with allergies but you were honest and open with us and communicated this well.
You were always polite and always happy to do what was needed. Wishing you all the best with your travels!
Pam, Rob and the dogs! x

It was a great experience in a magical and very quiet space away from the retreats. Pam and Rob are respectful, hardworking people who are open to teaching. The prior communication was impeccable and they helped us a lot with the transfers. For future volunteers, the work is demanding and focuses on housekeeping. Areas for improvement: more flexibility with the hours to go out and explore, and the Wi-Fi is unstable, which makes remote work difficult, but the signal is generally good. It was a beautiful place in nature, great if you go into it with the workload in mind.

One of my most meaningful Worldpackers experiences. It helped me realize it wasn't the right project for me at that moment, and I'm grateful for that lesson. Pamela and Rob were kind and understanding throughout. Carboneras is beautiful, Playa de los Muertos is just nearby and absolutely worth visiting, and if you have the chance, don't miss the flamenco performances at the castle. A perfect place to enjoy nature, peace, and a slower pace of life.

My time at the Center was a valuable experience that will remain unforgettable! I left with a new outlook on life and was lucky enough to take part in the practices. Pam and Rob are special people and warmhearted hosts who go the extra mile to make sure you feel welcome. I reconnected myself on my daily walks with Billy within the mountains :) I met beautiful souls, shared meaningful conversations and meals that were so inspiring and delicious. Rob is truly a talented Chef! There was a constant flow of good energy, the Center feels like one big family I am grateful to have been a part of 💓
