"One of the Ten best Detox Retreats in the world."
Sunday Times January 23rd 2016
JUICE FASTING DETOX & YOGA RETREATS FOR BODY, MIND & SPIRIT
For the past 30 years we have facilitated our concept of a juice detox retreat for body, mind and spirit.
We were guided to establish Moinhos Velhos in the Algarve, Portugal, where we fine-tuned our programme to promote cleansing and detoxification on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
We are in a tranquil valley 14 km from Lagos, situated in a nature reserve, away from the traditional tourist areas and we are energized by a multitude of tiny crystals in the surrounding hills. Here we go to bed with the silence of the stars at night and wake up to the songs of the birds in the morning. Beautiful.

Covid-19 Update
We are thrilled to have had such successful retreats throughout the pandemic, and with the restrictions in Portugal consistently easing we are almost back to 'normal' apart from the hot tub remaining closed. Asides from this we are generally operating with heightened cleaning and sanitation processes, which we have smoothly integrated into life here. If you require a Covid test prior to your departure from Portugal we can easily arrange this is nearby Lagos for you. See our covid cancellation policy here, and please view the 2022 schedule here.
