Portugal: Longevity Health and Wellness Hotel
On occasion, a short break simply isn’t enough to engage in a complete reboot of the body and mind. Sometimes you need to completely pause to thoroughly recuperate and return refreshed and renewed. The sabbatical New Life programme is a fully comprehensive and restorative medical break offering 21 days of pure mindfulness, detox, and medicinal consultation. Perched between Alvor Bay and the Monchique mountain range, you are provided with a bespoke lifestyle evaluation, genetic profiling, detox clay rituals, cryotherapy, craniosacral therapy, and this merely scratches the surface of this thorough and comprehensive sabbatical.
