Location
This retreat will take place in Melo, Portugal. Mélo is a beautiful meander around the picturesque Estrela Natural Park area using tracks through olive groves and small local roads.
We believe giving the body a break from daily life and food helps to bring about a more healthy and vibrant you. It’s a good opportunity to give up smoking, coffee, meat, dairy or unhealthy eating, and drinking habits. During fasting, we will do a gentle Hatha yoga practice suitable for beginners and those recovering from injury and back problems plus enjoyable guided meditations as well as other meditation techniques to help support your healing and transition to a healthier lifestyle. The juices and broth are all made from in-season organic fruit and vegetables.

Honey House
Honey House Stables is a 13 acre/ five-hectare eco-retreat centre in the centre of Portugal. We are a meat, alcohol, and drug-free environment. The property is situated on the edge of the historic village of Melo, within the Serra da Estrela National Park, there is a river that runs along the bottom of the property, and it is surrounded by stunning views of the surrounding countryside. We are completely off grid.
Our water comes from a fresh water spring within the property, which also feeds into the swimming pond and the electricity on the property is created with solar, wind and water power. We have wifi but only turn it on during certain hours; you can request to have it turned on if you need to go online outside of these hours. We look forward to sharing this beautiful and fulfilling way of life with you.
