Monte Velho: The Venue.
Monte Velho Retreat Centre is located in the Natural Park of Costa Vicentina, just 3 km from Amado Beach and the village of Carrapateira.
Set atop a hill, Monte Velho overlooks the ocean and is surrounded by the wild beauty of untouched nature.
The venue offers a spa area with ocean-view massage rooms, sauna, and steam bath, plus a Balinese gazebo, saltwater pool, and solarium for peaceful relaxation.
This unique setting creates an ideal environment for yoga, restoration, and deep connection with nature.
The Food.
At Monte Velho, food is part of your healing. Our vegetarian and vegan menus are prepared by an experienced local chef team, using fresh, seasonal ingredients and nourishing recipes served buffet-style. Expect vibrant salads, wholesome grains, comforting soups, plant-based proteins and delicious homemade spreads, juices and desserts.
Fresh fruit, teas, coffee and milk alternatives are available all day.
Monte Velho : The Yoga Studios.
Our main practice space for the week is Casa das Pinhas, the largest shala at Monte Velho. This circular cork-built pavilion (172 sqm) features underfloor heating and panoramic ocean views framed by ancient pine trees.
Its spacious, light-filled design creates the perfect atmosphere for daily yoga, meditation and deep immersion.
Monte Velho also hosts a second, smaller circular shala overlooking a lush garden and pond, further reflecting the centre’s dedication to mindful architecture and nature-inspired spaces.
Together, these beautifully crafted environments contribute to the retreat’s grounding energy and support a deep connection to movement, breath and nature.
Choose your Room
Your home for the week is nestled in nature, offering comfort, calm, and beautiful simplicity. Monte Velho provides a range of room types to suit your needs — from spacious shared rooms to private houses with ocean views.
Built with taipa, a traditional construction method that naturally keeps rooms cool in summer, the accommodations stay comfortable without the need for air conditioning, offering a simple yet deeply grounding experience.
Shower towels are provided, and while there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms, you will find connection available in the main building. Every space is thoughtfully designed to help you feel relaxed, present and at home.
