A new medical spa called Longevity has opened in the Algarve, which aims to promote healthier lifestyles and longer life through their wellness programmes.

The medical spa is in the idyllic mountain setting of Monchique, just a 45 minute drive from Faro International Airport.

Longevity is the first five star medical spa of its kind in Portugal, and the resort is hidden from mass tourism. But Longevity is still within easy reach of some beautiful beaches, and the cities of Portimo and Silves are close by.

The medical spa is in partnership with La Clinique de Paris. Their Preventive Medicine and Ageing Management services focus on monitoring the ageing process, rebalancing deficiencies and rejuvenating the body. Their programmes are designed for anyone, whether you already suffer from an illness or not. Longevity has a range of massages, facials and body scrubs to choose from.

Longevity is an eco-friendly medical spa. By constructing roofs of turf and using readily available raw materials, the building has minimised the impact on the surrounding environment. The building also makes use of solar energy and rain water irrigation.

Food at the medical spa is gourmet. Meals are prepared to a high nutritional standard, and use minimal amounts of salt and fat. They encourage a balanced diet by incorporating vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds into their dishes.

The resort has a wealth of physical and artistic activities on offer including archery, canoeing, water polo, ceramic painting, healthy cooking lessons and gardening classes.

In addition to the delights of the Longevity medical spa, you can enjoy hiking and bird watching in the surrounding Monchique hills, or immerse yourself in the cultural history of the nearby village. The Algarve is also renowned for its excellent selection of golf courses.

The Algarve is an ideal holiday destination for sun lovers, as the region benefits from 300 days of sunshine a year. If you plan to take a trip to the Algarve, make sure you buy comprehensive travel insurance. Goodtogoinsurance.com offers a range of policies to holiday makers with or without pre existing medical conditions.
