1. The perfect location
This wellness resort is a conveniently short hop from the airport, only a 30 minutes transfer. As well as this, Longevity is just 4km away from the lively Vilamoura marina making this retreat the calm amongst a beautiful storm. The quiet oasis of the retreat will welcome you with its peaceful atmosphere and immediately inspire relaxation. This makes this wellness resort the perfect choice if you would like equal measures of recuperation and exploration. There is even a shuttle bus that will take you to local destinations, or taxis available for around 5 euros.

Whether you are into fitness sessions, group classes, local exploration or all three, Longevity Cegonha Country Club is a wellness resort that will deliver it all. There is a mix of fitness classes on site that includes Pilates, Yoga, Meditation and Fitball to name a few. Or perhaps if you are looking to hone a new skill or hobby you can try one of the workshops available such as juice making and crystal energy healing, all great fun and perfect for honing a new skill you can take home! In addition to this, there is the local market to explore and the scenery to enjoy whilst hiking, there really is something for everyone…
3. The juice detox programme

4. The gorgeous setting
Whilst you detox and relax, you can soak up the gorgeous surroundings that include a beautifully manicured garden and a pond, home to small turtles and frogs that play their own magical ‘symphony’ every evening. The garden is even dotted with giant bean bags for you to settle into for an afternoon nap, get stuck into a good book or just enjoy the view. Whether you are staying on the ground floor or first floor you will also benefit from your own private space in the form of a large balcony or garden to watch the stars from every evening.
