Best fasting retreat in Portugal. Look no further ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 17, 2023
It was the best experience ever. I really did not know what to except, and we were pleasantly surprised. I really wanted something to just reboot my immune system due to my health. I received more than just that. Daily meditation was a treat., it really helps with slowing down your mind and letting go. I do recommend this retreat detox in Algarve. The staff was extremely helpful, experienced and loving. Karen and Chris are a lovely couple to guide you through this whole process. If you like Thai style massage, Deb is the one - my husband really enjoyed it. I had a Swedish massage every day. Ray was the best. Since we already know from the outset we’re fasting, Ed, the vegan nutritionist and chef will become your best friend with amazing juices and super delicious vegetable broths 🥤. If you’re searching for a real mind and body reset, look no further. The Moinhos Velhos Retreat is a magical place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will be back 👏🫶

I did 7 days detox retreat and I loved it. The team is amazing and I felt taken care of from the booking till the departure. The place is beautiful and you feel the calming energy as soon as you arrive. I especially appreciated the spiritual aspect of the retreat, the nature, the passion the whole team works with and the care we got during the whole retreat. The program is structured in a perfect way to makes the detox process smooth and enjoyable. I will come back!

This was my third 10 day Juice Detox at Moinhos Velhos and I've booked to go again next year. I've been fasting once or twice a year for 12 years in at a number of different centres in UK and Thailand and I find this program offers (for me) the right balance of yoga, instruction, therapies, advice, spirituality, personal time and support in a delightful setting. There is no pressure to do anything you don't want to do. Each time I have had profound experiences and come away feeling significantly more energised, fit and present. They attract a variety of nationalities of all ages and backgrounds, groups are small so a real sense of supporting one another. I've met some fascinating people and had memorable experiences each time. Most of all the team who run this are very experienced, enormously supportive, authentically walk their talk and create an atmosphere of real kindness, care and professionalism. Thoroughly recommended.

What a truly amazing week! Such a beautiful location and such a beautiful team there making this juice fast week so wonderful! The juices were delicious, and I really enjoyed the different flavour combinations. Every morning started with a delightful Yoga and breathwork session – a perfect way to start the day. There was a nice amount of free time in between the juices which was great to able to relax by the pool, use the sauna and take in the wonderful surroundings. It was also good to have that time as they offer SO many therapies and my wife and I made use of that! We pretty much tried them all including Acupuncture, BARS, CQM (Chinese Quantum Method), Family Constellation and even Lymph drainage. All very beneficial to us on our healing journeys. They have a lot of interesting books available to read and purchase ( I can recommend purchasing Understand Human Nature: A users guide to life by Richard Brook (he is working there and he is a legend). They had colouring books also which I find a very nice way to unwind and relax. There was also so much information available from the team – on topics such as further detox methods, supplements, diet, and mindfulness techniques. They were always ready to share the best knowledge and support you throughout the process. Every evening there was a meditation class or ceremony. My favourites were the traditional Indian fire ceremony with Chris and the ´movement´ evening with Richard – it was just SO much fun! We also went for a day trip to a viewpoint and a lovely beach (we took our juices with of course!). Overall, the week was planned very well, and even though I wasn’t so keen on the idea at first (it was my wife’s suggestion!) I am VERY happy I did it and super grateful to have taken part. My body and mind were delighted with the results at the end of it. If you are looking to give your health a kick or want to try a juice fast detox, then Moinhos Velos is the only place to go. Thanks once again to the wonderful team there! Peace and love. Om Namah Shivaya 😊

Hi Pavan, it was absolutely wonderful having you and Janina with us! We loved your enthusiasm to explore all we had on offer as much as we actually enjoyed delivering it! And what an absolute inspiration you both are in terms of your own commitment to wellness - including a hefty dose of the essential fun and light which you both had in abundance, contributing to a great experience for all concerned! Keep up the good work, such a pleasure to meet you both! Thank you and best wishes till next time! Richard and The Team!

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
