Alma Verde Ultimate Detox & Weight Loss in Portugal

Amanda's six day detox and weight loss retreat at the western Algarve's stunning eco-resort...

Available Options:
£895.00 to £1,250.00

Tab 1:


 Join Amanda and team to experience magical detox results amid a stunning eco-escape by Portugal’s famous Algarve coastline – a detox and a sunshine holiday at the same time!

Our Algarve Detox runs from the AlmaVerde resort, which translates as ‘Green Soul’ which borders the relatively undiscovered Costa Vincentina Natural Park with its rugged coastline and golden beaches – which we will visit regularly! We also take a grotto boat trip and enjoy a last supper and celebration meal out at local restaurants.

A complete programme, not just a single course

Whether it is a general detox and de-stress, weight loss, or a specific condition you want to address, we will work with you to try to ensure your goals are met. Average weight loss is 7-10lbs during the detox week – the course is one day longer than the UK breaks. The information gathered during your pre-screening questionnaire and goal-setting session assists Amanda to give you advice tailored to your needs, ensuring we help you to sustain the long-term benefits of your retreat.

Who comes on the course?

Put simply, anybody! We have huge variety of people coming along from all over the world. The local airport is Faro, an easy hop from London or other major European cities. Here’s a sample of some of the most common reasons for coming along:

  • stressed-out business owners or executives needing simply to recharge
  • people keen on a dramatic positive event to kick-start lasting weight loss
  • people who have seen Amanda’s Spa of Embarassing Illnesses series and who want to experience similar benefits
  • women (and couples) keen to enhance their chances of conceiving
  • people keen to address conditions such as IBS, skin complaints, menstrual/hormonal issues, stubborn weight gain or skin problems
  • It is also an excellent opportunity to take a "time-out", let go of unwanted habits and rejuvenate - physically, mentally and emotionally.

Look forward to seeing you!

Yours in health,

 

 As in all our retreats our aim is to provide an inspiring, relaxing and effective opportunity to detox and cleanse mind and body and successfully inspire you for the future. Our workshops cover a whole host of subjects – the difference is in Portugal we might well be hosting the workshops on the beach!

The ‘holiday’ aspect of the week includes the famous ‘Last Supper’ meal out in the gorgeous local restaurant, a boat trip and a celebratory meal once the detox aspect comes to a close on Saturday. The detox juice fast course runs from Sunday through to Friday morning – one day longer than our UK venues.

In summary, your Retreat's key elements are:

  • seven nights' en suite villa accommodation
  • pre screen, welcome reception and delicious last supper dinner at a local restaurant
  • six day daily regime of juices, broths, support remedies and optional colon cleansing
  • workshops delivered by Amanda Hamilton including "The Secrets of Weight Loss", "Body Typing" and "Understanding Detox

Testimonials:

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

 

As this is our first retreat in Alma Verde, we have not got any feedback yet! However, from my point of view, this venue is truly exceptional.

I have spent time out in Portugal setting up the course and feel really excited about bringing on this new location. The owner of Alma Verde, the inspirational John Tranmer, is passionate about working with natural health at his eco-resort and his on-site team are professional and really friendly.

Adding in a yoga course makes this week extra special too – Gordon is a brilliant teacher and will make a yogi out of anyone!1 It will be a great week – I can’t wait!
