About Algarve Wellness
Algarve Wellness provides a transformative experience for clients looking to increase their longevity, heal from mental health challenges, or recover from addiction. Dedicated to promoting overall wellness, their approach extends beyond therapy for the mind, teaching clients how to live a balanced life. Set along Portugal’s stunning southern coast, they deliver individualised, non-12-Step treatment within a private, high-end retreat—where exceptional care meets ocean views, gourmet dining, and restorative calm. Clients enjoy an intimate 5-bed setting that nurtures a strong sense of community, allowing for meaningful connection.
Take a Personalised Path to Wellness
Algarve Wellness begins each client’s journey with a thorough assessment to understand their unique needs and goals. Their team then delivers customised care with an emphasis on daily individual therapy using trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Clients also engage in restorative practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition as they achieve meaningful emotional healing, physical vitality, and a sustainable path to vibrant living.
Find Peace & Joy in a Coastal Sanctuary
Clients stay in Algarve’s exclusive 5-bed private villa with ensuite bathrooms, gourmet dining, and tailored accommodations based on selected packages. Their discreet team ensures confidentiality from airport pick-up to departure. They blend luxury and privacy with guided adventures—from yacht trips to fishing tours to skydiving—all designed to reconnect clients with life’s pleasures and inner peace through nature, movement, and mindful exploration.
Continue Making Progress with Aftercare
After treatment, clients receive personalised aftercare, including a dedicated recovery coach—either virtual or based in their home country—who may collaborate with the client’s existing psychiatrist. Continued care is also available through Algarve’s partner programme in Greece. Support includes tailored wellness plans, such as nutrition guidance for specific health needs, helping clients maintain progress, strengthen resilience, and integrate healing into everyday life.
Treatment is available in English and Portuguese.

Each treatment is customised and supported medically and emotionally, guiding clients toward insight, breaking cycles, and reconnecting with a deeper sense of meaning and vitality.
Track Progress with Biotechnology
Algarve Wellness combines nearby clinic-based genetic testing with on-site health monitoring to instantly measure key biomarkers—such as vital signs—through non-invasive technology. This approach supports individualised care by tracking physiological changes over time, helping clients and clinicians tailor wellness and addiction treatment plans, and then maintain progress with select tools even after leaving the programme.
Engage in Restorative, Embodied Therapies
Whether a client is pursuing longevity or substance use recovery, Algarve integrates evidence-informed care with calming, embodied therapies—like yoga, breathwork, and nature-based movement. Sound healing, massage, and consistent sleep rhythms promote deep relaxation and stress reduction, while custom nutrition plans and fitness training build healthy habits and enhance long-term physiological resilience.
Reset Work-Life Balance
Algarve supports executives facing burnout or addiction with tremendous respect for their achievements and the demands of their high-responsibility roles. Clients can work during treatment if needed, but the priority remains on restoring their wellness and addressing stress-related exhaustion, while guiding them away from self-medication and towards more effective, long-term tools for balance.
