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.
Hi Richard, Chris, Karen and Ivan here and we welcome you to our home, community and world renowned juice detox and yoga retreat, Moinhos Velhos. When founded in 1992 it was of the first centre's of it's kind in the world, and while we were fortunate to work under the original founders for many years and integrate their wisdom (between us we have over 50yrs of experience in leading juice detox retreats!) and keep the foundation of the programme we've also kept the pioneering spirit alive by also continuing to evolve it too.
We particularly pride ourselves that our program is more than just a 'physical detox' - after all we are more than physical beings - and it's very important to each of us that the programme also addresses our mental, emotional and 'spiritual' needs too. In addition to this we love the group connection element of our programmes and also empowering you, through knowledge, education and reflection to also go out and make positive changes in your life too. We don't just want to be a retreat from your normal life, we want to be a catalyst to also reset your life where necessary 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.
