Butterfly Valley
If you are a nature lover and an active person with some good communication skills. We are exactly looking for you. Juts show up and have some unforgettable memories.
We also accept LAST MINUTE requests..
We are a small community living in a spiritual valley in bungalows and tents. We eat together,we share together and serve together. The business that we are running here is unique. We rent our bungalows and tents to people from all around the world. What we expect from our volunteers is general maintenance and any kind of creative work because we are away from concrete jungle and always find a better way to improve our beautiful valley. We don't actually have strict shifts, if something has to be done one of our available staff gives a hand. We offer 3 meals everyday. ALL YOU CAN EAT :) Minimum stay is 1 month, could be more if we link well. As we are living in a valley, there is only one way to get to mainland and it's our boats and it takes 25 minutes to get there. Every single day we have our captain here and you can reach to mainland in any emergency or something. Also you can just swim or enjoy the nature. Here you can interact and make lifetime friends. None of us work here, we are just make a bond with our valley with whole parts.

About the experience in: Fethiye, Turkey

The Valley is a real paradise and it was truly amazing waking up to those views during 45 days.
Depending on the day, your tasks and work hours might change, which requires flexibility and adaptability on your part.
A good thing about the tasks is that they allow you to be creative and propose extra activities you’d like to offer to the guests.
On the downside, the trash could be recycled and a better environmental conscious developed.
Also, sometimes the energy of the place might be a little heavy, which is not the host’s fault. You can often feel how tired and stressed the workers are.

The place it’s a paradise on earth, beautiful. and unique! That’s the reason that for sure it’s needed to give more attention to the nature around at the place. Turn it more sustainable. As a volunteer I was able to offer ideas about things that I could do. I gave yoga classes, worked in the market and promoted rituals. The atmosphere is no the best sometimes, but is not Nilsu’s fault, she is just a worker and the workers really work hard there. The food was ok, the lunch usually dont have enough protein, so i recommend you to bring some protein powder. Met lovely people from many countries.

My experience in BV was not what I expected. I was looking for a human experience and found a place focused on money. I was there with my partner and I didn’t like the way she was treated as a woman. The working hours and schedule was a total mess, communication between managers was awful and never had a clear schedule on how to proceed with tasks. The staff wasn’t looking very happy and everyone was afraid of "the boss". That kind of managing does’t suit with my values. I booked a month stay and ended up leaving after three days. The place is beautiful, meals and accomodation were respected.

You tried to make money in our establishment without any permission or boundaries. We tried to support you, but you did not behave in an acceptable manner. Hygiene is the most important thing, and you even violated that.

We were excited for a good experience, but this place was a total disappointment. It’s disorganized, not spiritual at all, and felt like a tourist trap. We applied for social media, but they didn’t know what to do with us. They tried to benefit from my tattoo work without offering space or respect. I was told to dance beside my partner like an object — I felt deeply disrespected as a woman. Also, they prefer single women and don’t treat couples well. If you're looking for a deep, conscious experience, this is not the place. AVOID if youre looking for an organized and respectful place.

You said, 'If I don’t do tattoos, I will leave because I need money.' You gave a tattoo without our permission and in complete disregard of hygiene rules.
You also mentioned that you're a dancer and that you could dance. Lying doesn't suit you at all. Fortunately, we’ve reached out to the relevant parties about this matter.
