Our Review of Longevity Health & Wellness Hotel: A Modern Wellness Retreat in Portugal

Longevity Health and Wellness Hotel is perfect for anyone looking to prioritise their health and embark on a truly transformative journey. Perched on a peaceful hilltop with beautiful views over Alvor, this medical spa retreat is a sanctuary for rejuvenation, whether you’re seeking a complete health reset or simply a tranquil escape.

More than just a spa hotel, Longevity offers a unique blend of cutting-edge medical expertise and holistic wellness. Partnered with a private hospital, it provides access to advanced diagnostics, preventive medicine, and regenerative therapies, setting it apart as a destination for those serious about long-term health improvements.

A Serene Setting in the Algarve

Located in the picturesque Algarve, just a short walk or 5-minute taxi from the coast, the hotel’s wave-like architecture blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings. The residential neighbourhood adds to the peaceful atmosphere, while the beaches are close enough for a calming seaside stroll.

The Unique Medical Expertise at Longevity Health and Wellness Hotel

What makes Longevity Health and Wellness Hotel truly unique is its partnership with a private hospital. This collaboration ensures that guests not only enjoy a relaxing wellness experience but also have access to cutting-edge medical expertise. The focus on preventive, regenerative, and personalised medicine elevates the retreat to a new level, offering a health-focused retreat where guests can actively work towards enhancing their well-being.

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms for Complete Relaxation

I stayed in a Longevity Sea View Room, where the minimalist design and thoughtful details, like essential oils, a tea infuser, and a 10L water box, made the space feel both functional and calming. The room had ample storage, and the views over the sea were a lovely touch. One note: many bathrooms feature glass walls with blinds, which might be something to consider if you’re sharing.

Nourishing Food at Longevity Health and Wellness Hotel

Food is a vital part of the wellness experience, and upgrading to the wellness meal plan was well worth it. Breakfast was a daily treat, with a buffet of fresh vegetables, superfoods, homemade breads, and delicious whole wheat croissants. The Longevity detox tea was another favourite, perfect for sipping throughout the day.

Lunch and dinner featured balanced, nutrient-dense menus tailored to support your programme. For those on detox or weight loss plans, room service is available, which I found useful for maintaining focus without the temptation of the full restaurant menu.

Wellness Programmes for Every Goal

Longevity offers a wide range of programmes, from short 2-night breaks to 30-night stays, designed to support detox, stress reduction, immune support, weight management, and more. I opted for the Relax and Detox Programme, which struck the perfect balance between cleansing and relaxation.

There are at least three wellness activities to choose from each day. I particularly enjoyed the Energetic Healing Workshop and a gentle Pilates class, both of which helped me feel more grounded and revitalised. Whether your goal is to de-stress, reshape, or simply recharge, the hotel’s expert team can guide you with a personalised wellness path.

Wellness Facilities and Standout Treatments

The wellness centre includes a detox and relax pool, sauna, ice fountain, Epsom salt room, and tranquil relaxation spaces - ideal for unwinding between treatments. I also added a session in the Iyashi Dome, a powerful treatment that helps burn up to 600 calories in 30 minutes. It was a great complement to my Relax and Detox Programme, which also included a body scrub, wrap, and deeply soothing massage.

One of the highlights was a lymphatic drainage massage, which left me feeling completely renewed. The quality of the treatments was excellent—professional, nurturing, and tailored to my needs.

My Verdict: A Truly Revitalising Experience

By the end of my stay at Longevity Health and Wellness Hotel, I felt completely refreshed - physically lighter, mentally clearer, and emotionally more balanced. The combination of expert care, supportive wellness programmes, and beautiful surroundings creates a space where genuine transformation is possible.
