Moinhos Velhos

The Wellness Stay at Moinhos Velhos is a flexible, lightly structured Algarve escape for guests who want the atmosphere of a retreat centre without joining a full programme. Set in a secluded valley beside Barragem da Bravura, about 15 minutes from Lagos, the stay includes simple private ensuite accommodation or a cabin, daily breakfast, access to the saltwater pool, sauna and gardens, and use of the yoga temple when it is not in session. Guests can rest, walk to the reservoir, explore nearby beaches and villages, or add optional yoga, meditation or therapies when available.

The 10-day juice fasting retreat at Moinhos Velhos offers a longer version of the Algarve centre's structured juice detox, yoga and wellness programme. Official information describes a retreat rhythm built around seasonal juices, mineral-rich broths, daily yoga, evening meditation, nutrition and health workshops, rest periods and access to facilities such as the sauna and saltwater pool. Accommodation, juices and broths, supplements, lemon water, herbal teas and an initial health check-up are listed as part of the programme. This longer stay may suit guests who want more time in a guided fasting setting.

The 7-day juice fasting retreat at Moinhos Velhos is part of the centre's long-running Algarve detox programme, developed since 1992 for body, mind and spirit. The official programme combines accommodation with a structured rhythm of juices and broths, daily yoga, evening meditation, nutrition and health workshops, and time for rest, therapies or nature walks. Guests can use facilities such as the Finnish-style sauna and saltwater swimming pool, with lemon water and herbal teas available through the day. The retreat is suitable for people seeking a guided fasting environment with yoga and reflection.
