Welcome to the Sanctuary
When we bring

We live in Paradise.
Estrela Do Cerro, Moncarapacho, Portugal
Estrela do Cerro is a private quinta that has been our new Retreat & Healing Center and home since April 1st, 2023.
The quinta is situated in the Central Algarve near Moncarapacho/Olhão, in the middle of the wonderful, tranquil nature park around the Cerro da Cabeça mountain. The charming fisherman’s town of Fuseta is just 10min away, and within 20min you can reach the city of Olhão.
The outside area of the quinta is a real oasis, surrounded by a natural plot of land of 2.5 hectares with chill-out areas and a large private pool. It is the perfect place for those seeking an authentic life close to nature in an idyllic area – in the middle of the countryside yet close to the beach.
The next beaches are very close, for instance, Praia do Homem Nu (10 km) and the popular Armona Island (14 km). There are also amazing treks for hiking in the area.
