‘I went to Portugal’s top medi-spa for a detox and burned 600 calories each day in the spa’


OK!’s Zoe Cripps journeys to Portugal’s Longevity Health & Wellness Hotel, where medical healing meets spa serenity, for a 3-day detoxifying body blitz

The relaxed feeling after a spa break usually stops as soon as we wheel our suitcases out of the hotel doors, so we were all for booking into a retreat that offers self-improvement beyond the stay's length. My main aim was to get to the root cause of some long-running gut issues and reduce stress, so I went for traditional wellness with a side of detoxification that resulted in being booked into 12 treatments including a nutritional consultation, cryotherapy, oxygen therapy, full body scrubs and wraps, and stress-reducing massages. Zoe’s Essential Detox Programme – a holistic health break designed to cleanse the gastrointestinal, visceral, and lymphatic systems – starts from £2,495 per person for five nights here.
