Regenerating Earth, Body & Soul

Monte Valeo is a six-hectare regenerative longevity farm and retreat sanctuary. A place where nature, health and meaningful connection come together through restorative stays, inspiring retreats and a slower way of living.

Welcome to Monte Valeo

A Different Rhythm of Life

Nestled among the rolling hills between Malaga and Marbella, Monte Valeo is more than a place to stay. It is a living farm, and a soulful sanctuary where people reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world.

Everything here follows nature's rhythm. Days are lived with the sun, the soil is regenerated, food is grown on the land. The soil nurtures not only our body, but also our mind and spirit. We have our own water source, solar energy, with the goal to be as self-sufficient as possible.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape, quality time with your family, a meaningful retreat or a place to host transformational experiences, Monte Valeo offers the space to slow down, breathe deeply, reconnect and return to what truly matters.

Stay

Stay at Monte Valeo

Step out of the pace of everyday life and settle into one of our three private sanctuaries. Designed for families, friends, (leadership)teams and small groups. Each home offers comfort, privacy and space to reconnect.

Surrounded by orchards, gardens and open views of the valley, you'll find the freedom to do as much, or as little, as you wish. 

Wake to the sounds of nature, share slow meals, wander through orchards and herb gardens , cool off in the pool and spend long evenings outdoors beneath the starry sky.

The Farm

More than a Place. A Way of Living.

Monte Valeo was created with a simple belief: when we care for the land, the land cares for us. Our farm is powered by the sun, supplied by our own water source and shaped by the changing seasons.

Across six hectares of rolling Andalusian hills, we're restoring the soil, developing syntropic food forest systems, creating medicinal herb gardens, growing food regeneratively and creating spaces where people can reconnect with nature and with themselves. Everything here is designed to work with natural systems rather than against them.

This isn't simply the setting for your stay, it is the heart of the experience.

Longevity

A Different Vision of Longevity

We believe health and longevity doesn't begin with a treatment. It begins with the environment in which life unfolds. Change your environment and you can start to create the conditions in which your body can adapt, repair and thrive for decades to come. 

That philosophy shapes everything we do at Monte Valeo, from the food we grow and the way we design our spaces to the rhythm of each day. For guests who wish to explore longevity more deeply, we have functional assessments, consultations and supportive therapies available.

Our story

A Place Born from One Life-Changing Question

It all began with one simple question: Life is precious. How do we truly want to live it? That question inspired us to leave behind a life of constant busyness and create one rooted in nature, health, freedom and meaningful connection. What started as a dream for our own family has grown into Monte Valeo: a regenerative farm and retreat sanctuary where people from around the world can slow down, reconnect and rediscover what it means to live well.

What Do Our Guests Say

Sometimes you immediately feel it: this isn't an ordinary place. The hill on which Monte Valeo sits breathes freedom and nature. Everything is beautifully designed and finished with great care. Our daughter loved every minute while we completely relaxed. Monte Valeo isn't a place you simply visit. It's a place you take home with you.

We've just returned from an amazing stay at Monte Valeo and already miss it. Everything Hayo and Nicole have created works beautifully in harmony with nature. There is a genuine focus on wellbeing, sustainability and biodiversity throughout the property. We left feeling refreshed, recharged and inspired.
