“This is one of the few, world class fasting spas, and the best deal”

I'm from the USA, but decided to come all the way to Portugal for this juice fasting program because most of the programs in the US are SO expensive, starting at $3,000 per week and up. The better ones are often upwards of 6 or 7, and they don't even have a formal program. Here, while juice fasting and detoxing, you get all the vitamins and nutrition you need from juice, much of which comes from fruit and vegetables on the land. Their supplements with bentonite clay and herbs are cutting edge, and I was really surprised to find out that they have a great yoga and meditation program too. Otherwise, but not so interesting to me, they have a salt swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, yoga temple, and clinic with services like acupuncture and massage. I met great, great people, and felt wonderful during and after the program, and will come back for sure.

“the primo juice fasting retreat”

A 20-minute ride from the lovely town of Lagos, its beautiful beaches, and miles of beach stretching along the National Parkland coast in the Algarve region, Portugal. Two lovely bungalows shared by two people and also 4 single rooms overlooking their own terrace, great for sunbathing and another stone cabin with 2 single rooms. There is a large pool, a hot tub, a real sauna (the owners are Norwegian) and an entirely glass walled room for yoga & meditation. Wonderful alternative treatments available. All on 40 rural acres of trees. This is no hotel. One reserves for the purpose of either their 2-week or 10-day or 7-day juice fast. English only is spoken although most of the few Americans who arrive are already living abroad, the Irish and English come and during my stay also a Greek architect and two (24 and 27) young Russian girls. Great walks, perfect schedule so one never feels hungry, fresh fruit and vegetables grown on their land. The final result is one looks and feels marvelous, better than ever when one's physical system has been so successfully cleaned. One can leave there knowing one has a new clean bill of health. For us Americans, ah, the loss in value of our dollar, and no direct flights to Faro from the US so we need to go via Dublin (2 hours) or Frankfurt (3 hours). juicefasting.com
