A holistic oasis on the far edge of Europe

 

Our home for this retreat week will be Monte Velho, a breath-taking yoga retreat venue with a stunning round yoga hall, sitting on top of the hills of the Algarve’s west coast. The spaciousness of the retreat and its surroundings invite to get lost and fully immersed in nature. Adjacent to a holistic riding center and not far from the Atlantic sea, Mote Velho feels like a world apart.

 

The holistic center is designed to offer all the comfort and space we will need for our practise and own time. The main temple Casa das Pinhas with its heated floor will be our practise and movement space. Between activities you can relax or study in a variety of calm and peaceful spaces that were placed for the purpose of joy and contemplation, all with amazing views of the surroundings. A large common living room invites to make new friends and exchange experiences, while the cosy bed rooms and suites serve as your personal little oasis.

 

We will provide transportation from/to Faro airport, from where it is a 1.5 hr drive to the retreat center. If you are coming from Lisbon and prefer to arrive by road (car rental is possible), it’s about 3 hrs.

 

Please make sure you enquire about a necessary visa and passport validity according to your nationality.

 

Twin Shared Room  €2450* – last room! –

As the availability for this retreat is limited, we recommend two people sharing a room.  All rooms are cosy and colorful with lots of light, twin beds and en suite bathrooms. Most have a terrace with a daybed and hammock, so you can find a nook for yourself. If you come with a spouse or partner, beds can be converted to a double bed and if you come alone and would like to share a room, we will match you with another participant (same gender).

 

 

Triple Shared Room  €2250*

For groups of friends or those on a tighter budget, chose a triple shared room. All have an en-suite bathroom, mezanine, living room and a terrace with daybed and hammock overlooking the landscape. For groups of 4 booking together, these rooms can be converted to 4 single beds (same pp price as triple). If you come alone and would like to share a room, we will match you with other participants (same gender).

 

 

Shared 6-bed Dorm  €1850*

For those who cannot afford the regular rooms, but don’t want to miss out, there is a cosy 6-bed dorm located close to the yoga shala in a shadowed spot overlooking the ocean. Toilets and showers are located 100 metres away.

 

 

Single Room  €2950* – sold out –

For a privacy and extra comfort a few rooms are available for single occupancy. Availability is extremely limited for those single rooms and will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis.

We will try our best to help you avoid bank and transfer charges, but if they do occur, all bank/PayPal charges must be carried by the participant.
