Located just 15 mins (12km) from Lagos, we offer this incredible opportunity to rent out our entire retreat centre, situated in a secluded valley beside the Barragem da Bravura. Enjoy a tranquil retreat setting with 12 private ensuite rooms (18 beds) yoga shala, therapy clinic, sauna as well as use of all the facilities. A prefect place to run your own retreat, relax by the saltwater pool or explore the Algarve’s beaches and coastline.
The space
Nestled in a secluded valley with an abundance of quartz crystal naturally embedded in the Earth, Moinhos Velhos affords you the possibility to rest in a beautiful, energising and regenerative location.
The site covers 16 hectares but is within an area of several thousand hectares of natural beauty so great for hikes or a stroll around the lake which is 5mins walk from our front door.
The centre usually hosts dedicated juice detox and yoga retreats and is adorned with many Buddha statues, beautiful gardens, bird life, butterflies and peace!
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.
Previously the centre was an old mill house and several old mill wheels still remain.
There is a kitchen and dining area available for use.
Guest access
Guests are welcome to use the guest kitchen and dining room in the main house, pool, yoga temple and enjoy the gardens. The staff kitchen and lounge area in the main house aren’t available for guest use.
Other things to note
There is a restaurant (‘Hello Goodbye’) within 5 minutes walk of our property next to the reservoir. It’s open 11-5pm Thursday to Sunday.
There are also two other local cafe’s within reasonable distance – in the village of Cotifo 5 mins drive away. Or the larger towns of Odiaxere and Bensafrim are 10 minutes drive away, Lagos with it’s beautiful beaches is 15 minutes drive, Aljezur is 30mins and Sagres 45mins.
