In pursuit of eternal youth
If the quest for longevity is present in all the programs of this wellness resort, it is at the heart of the “Longevity Life Rejuvenation and Anti-Aging” cure.
Exceptionally comprehensive, with around 30 treatments and assessments, this 7-day program aims to rejuvenate the face, body and internal organs. Holistic therapies such as sound vibration sessions and body, mind and soul harmonization are interwoven with many more “conventional” treatments. Some are directly linked to thalassotherapy, such as the benefits of seaweed, while others are much more scientific: for example, assessing the length of your chromosomes to analyze your biological age and general state of health. All these treatments can act on aging at every level… so you can come back looking ten years younger!

Guests who choose to follow a Longevity program or a thalassotherapy cure are entitled to customized low-calorie menus, served in the resort’s two restaurants.
Perched atop the white limestone cliffs so typical of the region, these restaurants revisit traditional Portuguese cuisine, always giving pride of place to local, fresh produce, especially from the ocean. Chef Pedro Sequeira reinvents traditional menus with sophisticated gastronomic experiences.
