Life changing experience in a beautiful sanctuary

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 24, 2022
We had been looking for a yoga retreat and had been recommended MV - we were really worried about the idea of juicing but decided to embrace the idea and go for it. It was the most incredible week - starting with gentle yoga that built up over the week, fabulous morning walks to watch the sunrise and we soon really enjoyed the fresh juices made from many of the fruit and veg grown at MV. The team were so kind, friendly and knowledgeable and we all came away on the most amazing natural high that we did not think possible. I would highly recommend coming either with friends or solo. We have all come home feeling nurtured and caed for and ready to make some changes to our lifestyle - amazing the simple things like listening to more music, use a watch not a phone and some super simple hints to change eating habits towards a more plant based diet. I did not think I needed to lose weight but a few pounds have been shed and I feel so much lighter in spirit, mind and body. It is a bit bonkers mad at times...but go with the flow and have a ball...we have laughed, cried, walked, swum, saunaed and massaged, chatted, slept, danced, made new friends and had so much fun! Hasta La Vista! xxx

Ola Mel! Was so beautiful having you and your 'team' with us! It was such a great programme, you all bought so much fun and lightness and the Thursday evening movement session followed by pool shenanigans will live long in the memory! Much love and we'll see you again soon! Richard and the Team

The setting is perfect. The yoga instructors were very professional. Everything was perfect. I’ve been back 10 days and I’m still feeling the benefits. The staff were warm and welcoming. There are lots of treatments on offer. The swimming pool and sauna were fab. My room was very comfortable, private and quiet.

This was my first time at MV and I shall never forget it. We had the most wonderful practitioners who share their time and valuable knowledge generously, the juices were fantastic , the yoga accessible to everyone and the therapies fantastic. The whole experience was outstanding in the company of other wonderful guests taking their own detox journey. I feel totally rejuvenated and mentally and physically rebooted. The sky was blue and the sun was shining - what more could I ask for?!! An experience to treasure and share

We had a wonderful time on the Moinhos Velhos juice detox retreat. From beginning to end the whole experience was incredibly nurturing and regenerative. Chris, Karen, Richard, Debbie, Ed, Ivan and the entire team took great care in looking after us as their guests. The depth of their experience and passion in providing these retreats is evident. I’d experienced one other detox retreat before in Thailand, and I found the Moinhos Velhos program to be far more comprehensive - with daily talks and sharing on nutrition and detoxification practices, morning yoga and evening meditations, use of zappers, QRS machine, sauna, swimming pool, library and a choice of expert therapists to receive treatments from. The location is stunning, with the retreat property situated in a beautiful, secluded valley surrounded by nature. The weather, being the Algarve, was great as ever. The yoga each morning gave a great start to the day, the juices and broth’s were delicious. The whole program was structured in a way that made the entire fasting process comfortable and relatively easy. If you want to invest in your health and wellness, Moinhos Velhos is a perfect choice!
