Surrounded by the rugged cliffs and vast natural landscapes of the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, our retreat centre offers an ideal environment for deep rest, reflection, and renewal.

Winding trails lead through scenic terrain, from forest paths to coastal viewpoints, offering direct access to some of the area’s most beautiful and untouched locations.

Guests can take advantage of a wide range of outdoor activities nearby, including surfing, kitesurfing, bird watching, hiking, diving, and mountain biking. Whether you’re seeking adventure or stillness, Monte Velho offers the space to connect with nature and yourself.
