Facilities and Spaces

Monte Mariposa is a residential Retreat Centre in the heart of the Algarve. The Centre is located in a beautiful valley which creates the supportive environment for what we offer. One of our purposes is to live in harmony with nature and to create a loving and welcoming atmosphere for our guests. Our facilities are simple, functional, and comfortable.
Monte Mariposa has 2 parts: The main building, built in the 1990’s  was designed to maximise the use of natural light and can accommodate 36 people. Some years later, an independent infrastructure was created in the valley. Wooden cabins, a yurt and tipis were built around a Thai-style workspace and outdoor-kitchen. A workspace under old trees, a swimming pool and a sweat lodge complete the valley. 28 people can be accommodated.
Both these parts can be used individually or together and offer a wide range of different kinds of accommodation, indoor and outdoor workspaces and extra space to put up your tent. Monte Mariposa is nestled in a beautiful and tranquil environment, creating a harmonious and supportive atmosphere.
