Moinhos Velhos

We've been running juice detox and yoga programmes for over 30 years and the place is a treasure trove of holistic wellness and natural health knowledge! We have a great sense of community and like to have a high vibration positive outlook, clean living, but fun!

Volunteers are treated like one of the family - we all eat together and share the community experience. But in turn we desire people to show motivation and enthusiasm and see it as more than a job - it's a chance to participate in a beautiful natural environment full of lovely gentle and sensitive people who treat you well!

I had a good experience at Moinhos Velhos. Everyone is very welcoming and we had a great bunch of people working together. Enjoyed the time in the garden and helping with the retreat. It's great that you can try the different therapies as well. It would be good to have an organised yoga/meditation for the volunteers every day. I met with great people and feel greatful for their shared wisdom and caring. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience at Moinhos. The place was surrounded by nature and it was really beautiful, the food was really healthy and good. I met so many interesting people from all over the world. I had to work some hours but I also had time for myself. I was able to join some of the yoga and the meditation classes. I really recommend this place and I'd really like to come back again.

Moinhos Velhos has turned out to be my home away from home, I loved my experience here so much that I’m coming back as soon as possible 💛 It feels good to be a part of a community that shares many of the same values and goals and I’m incredibly grateful for each and every moment I’ve spent here. I have grown a lot as a person, met amazing people that have turned into friends, acquired new skills and made a whole lot of precious memories that I will cherish forever ✨ Until next time 🫡

I spent a month at MV and I would recommend it especially in the summer time. It’s a beautiful spot just outside of Lagos and the facilities were better than most. Friendly owners, staff and guests. I was a yoga instructor as well as a volunteer and I thoroughly taking classes twice a week. It is quite away from the main town although you can drive there in 25mins or Uber if you did want to check it out. On your off days you can explore the rest of the Algarve too so if you have a car or rent one this could be a cool way you see more of Portugal.
