Monte da Orada

Monte da Orada, nestled on Portugal’s stunning Southwest coast, offers a serene, nature-filled environment perfect for personal reflection and growth. Surrounded by 70 hectares of private forest, the retreat is committed to sustainability, with solar power, eco-friendly materials, and rainwater harvesting. It’s an ideal haven for travelers seeking a deep connection with nature.

Volunteers can participate in a variety of meaningful tasks, including preparing healthy meals and tending to the garden. The peaceful, stress-free atmosphere allows for ample time to focus on personal development, whether through mindfulness, quiet reflection, or simply enjoying the surrounding silence.

As a family-run, eco-friendly retreat, Monte da Orada fosters a harmonious, low-stress environment where volunteers are treated with respect and encouraged to be part of the team. Accommodation is provided in comfortable caravans, and volunteers have access to a shared kitchen and relaxation spaces.

We emphasis independence, common sense, and motivation. The positive, laid-back energy of the team, combined with the beautiful, sunny surroundings, creates a balanced experience where volunteers can enjoy productive work and peaceful downtime.
