Longevity Health & Wellness Resort  

Longevity Health & Wellness Hotel is a state-of-the-art medical spa that combines modern integrative and regenerative medicine with the most advanced wellness and preventative diagnostics, therapies, and programmes. What really sets this place apart from its competitors is the real, genuine Portuguese hospitality that you will experience as soon as you walk through its doors. A medical spa, but with a big welcoming smile! 

The wellness and medical centre spans two floors, presenting you with an array of tailored programmess. Options range from lighter choices for beginners to more comprehensive, specialised ones for those seeking profound changes in health. The treatment menu is extensive, including ozone therapy, detox and regeneration IV therapies, osteopathy, premium facials, rejuvenation treatments, and mind-energy therapies. Beyond this wellness and medical spa, the retreat offers Mediterranean cuisine, a tea lounge, a rooftop pool with views of the picturesque Alvor Bay, and a modern fitness centre equipped with Technogym. 

Palacio Estoril Golf & Spa Resort 

Situated in the charming seaside town of Estoril, just a hop from elegant Lisbon, is Palacio Estoril Golf & Spa Resort, a chandelier-bejewelled seaside hotel that really hits the spot. It has golf and a bit of pampering for him, and for Healing Holidays, it has three floors of Spa brilliance to explore. There are the age-old traditional hydro treatments with jet massages and Vichy pampering, alongside Quantic medicine, where the efficiency of your vital organs is determined through electrical diagnostics. There are brilliant doctors to guide you through the minefield of hormonal imbalance, menopause, and HRT, but for us, it’s the physio and osteopathy that really makes this place shine - you will be stretched and mobilised, joints will soften, and shoulders will straighten. 

Vilalara Longevity Thalassa & Medical Spa  

Sitting snug along the stunning Algarve coastline with seaside gardens and direct access to soft golden sands, Vilalara Longevity Thalassa & Medical Spa is a world-class resort retreat where exclusivity, comfort, and stunning surroundings combine into a unique experience of well-being and health.

Combining nature’s bounty with Six Senses’ spa excellence, Six Senses Douro Valley is just the place for a spoiling, rejuvenating break. Set in an untouched, magical, and natural landscape, the first Six Senses property in Europe does not disappoint. Exquisitely designed and firmly rooted in its landscape, the Spa offers lots of possibilities – 10 treatment rooms, an organic pharmacy, an indoor pool, Yoga and Pilates pavilions, a gym, and some custom-built Ayurveda rooms. 

There are mountain bikes and kayaking with which to explore the local area, meditation pods to zone out in, and clever gadgets that perform wellness screenings, sleep diagnostics, and skin analysis. But this is Six Senses, after all, so you can expect some deep-reaching programmes, with, for maximum impact, shamanic healing in tandem with mitochondrial analysis.
