MillSpace

It's a beautiful water mill that has been here for hundreds of years, lovingly restored in nature, with stunning mountain views and walks. If you like nature, sustainable living and are interested in holistic practices, you will enjoy our space. Equally people who have hospitality skills or love of healthy eating and want peaceful place to volunteer would enjoy our place. We are 15 minutes drive from the local town and beach. We have bikes to use in your time off!

We are an English couple who left a city life to start a new, more conscious life in Spain. Both from creative backgrounds, Rob a graphic designer in London and Pamela worked in fashion, a costume maker/stylist and later trained as a yoga teacher following many years of her own practice. We followed a dream with our then 11 year old daughter (now 16). We love to see people come and transform from the retreats they attend and we hope we hold the space for them to do this with kindness, support and nourishing food. Volunteers are treated like family. We appreciate our volunteers very much and all their hard work to help us make these retreats happen, as our guests experience is important to us. We want our volunteers to go away with new friends and fond memories, and learning a few things from the exchange.:) During retreats we ask our volunteers to work a few hours more and we exchange that time with free time here at the Mill in between retreats :) All food and accommodation are included. We ask people not to apply if they have a drug, drinking or addiction problem, as this is a quiet holistic wellness space. We look forward to hearing from you

I had such a lovely time at Mill.Space! It was a unique experience seeing as the retreat is so remote, but Pamela and Rob were really good about making sure to take us into town on our days off, and providing us with all the necessities. Hours were very clearly stated and they were very mindful not to overwork us and to listen to what we needed. I loved my time there and am missing it dearly already!

I'm very happy with my volunteering at MillSpaces because it was fantastic. It's a place that gives you a lot of peace, helping me connect with nature and with myself. I was able to enjoy the natural pool, hike in the mountains, and practice my English. I really enjoyed painting and helping in the kitchen with Rob. and by the way, all the meals are delicious. Rob and Pamela are very kind people and made sure I felt comfortable and enjoyed my experience. Thank you very much for everything. I hope to see you soon. Hugs!

I truly had a wonderful time volunteering at Mill.Space! The house and garden are a little paradise on earth, 15min away from Carboneras. I enjoyed the mountains around and swimming in the stunning natural pool in my free time. Pamela and Rob welcomed me very warmly and offered as much as possible to visit small towns and villages in the area.
There was a clear and respectful way of communication and the work was very fair in general.
I would definitely recommend volunteering at Mill.Space! ☀️

We absolutely loved our time at Mill Space! Rob, Pam, and Darcy were so welcoming and kind. They always made sure we had everything we needed. They picked us up from the bus station and dropped us off at airport. Our space at the caravan was equipped with everything we needed, and was very cozy and well thought out. The workload was very manageable, and they made sure we had a good time on our days off. We both got an opportunity to join in on a yoga practice. The girls at the retreat were all so kind and interested in getting to know us, they made us feel very appreciated. Highly recommend:)

Mi experiencia en Mill space con Pamela y Rob fue maravillosa. Desde mi llegada me hicieron sentir como parte de la familia. Me llevaron a conocer diferentes lugares en las cercanías de carboneras cada vez que teníamos tiempo libre, lo que hizo de mi estadía muy entretenida. El lugar queda un poco alejado del pueblo pero si tienes la suficiente energía puedes moverte en bicicleta y llegar donde quieras. Las tareas son principalmente domésticas, durante los retiros hay bastante trabajo pero siempre se distribuye de la mejor manera para que sea equitativo.
