Hi, we're Richard, Karen, Chris, Ivan and Bliss and we'd like to welcome you to our home, our community and our world-renowned juice detox and yoga retreat, Moinhos Velhos.

Founded in 1992, Moinhos Velhos was one of the first centres of its kind in the world. We have been fortunate enough to work alongside the original founders for many years, learning from them and integrating their wisdom and knowledge before taking over the centre ourselves. Between us, we have more than 50 years of experience leading juice detox retreats. While we've stayed true to the foundations of the original programme, we've also kept its pioneering spirit alive by continuing to learn, evolve and develop the experience over the years.

We particularly pride ourselves on the fact that our programme is about much more than a physical detox. After all, we are more than physical beings. It's important to each of us that the experience also addresses our mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. We love the sense of connection that develops within each group, and we want to empower you through knowledge, education and reflection to make positive changes in your life when you return home.

"We purposefully keep our programmes as accessible as possible and we don't just want Moinhos Velhos to be a retreat from your normal life. We want it to be a catalyst for stepping back, gaining perspective and, where necessary, resetting your life too."

Participating in a Moinhos Velhos Detox Fasting retreat could change your life

Our programmes are a potent combination of physical, mental and emotional cleansing, nurturing connection, personal development and huge expertise from our team. And it all happens in one of the most stunning and energising locations you could possibly imagine! This is a place to purify, energise and regenerate. Our guests return over and over as we don't just provide a place to retreat and cleanse, we also provide a platform for you to grow as a person.
