Situated between the wild Algarve hills and the changing reflections of the Atlantic, Algarve Wellness is a high-end rehabilitation clinic specializing in the treatment of mental health, addictions, burn-out and emotional disorders. Unlike conventional wellness retreats, it offers comprehensive, individualized therapeutic care in a confidential setting, far from exposure. Here, luxury is expressed in discretion, care in rigor. In-depth work, always focused on the human being.
A top-of-the-range, confidential rehabilitation clinic
Algarve Wellness does not reveal its exact address. And with good reason: anonymity and discretion are essential pillars of the therapeutic setting. In this unspoilt natural environment in the south of Portugal, guests find a safe place to retreat to for treatment, far from the hustle and bustle of the world and outside scrutiny. There are no tourist routes here, no hustle and bustle of the seaside resorts. You enter discreetly, and stay to rebuild. Quietly, without urgency, but methodically.
Each stay begins with a complete assessment, carried out by a multidisciplinary team in complete confidentiality. The aim is to understand each person’s history, physiology, imbalances and visible or invisible injuries. Based on this, an individualized program is set up, balancing care, nutrition, movement and rest. All in an exceptional setting. Guests are accommodated in a luxurious, intimate villa, designed to promote calm, comfort and recovery.
An integrative approach, focused on the individual
Far from the clichés of over-medicalized resorts, Algarve Wellness adopts a comprehensive yet rigorous approach. It combines advances in psychotherapy, neuroscience and functional medicine with work on the body, breathing, diet and the connection with nature. But care doesn’t stop at the mind. It includeslearning how to live a balanced life, including its professional dimensions. Indeed, the aim is not just to “feel better”, but to learn to live differently: in a more stable, aligned and sustainable way.
As each person is unique in his or her biochemistry, metabolism and vulnerabilities, support is finely tuned. Analyses, assessments and precise observations guide therapeutic choices and help achieve real, lasting inner stability. Ultimately, the promise is not of a miracle, but of a profound transformation – physical, emotional, mental and social. An experience conducted with calm, excellence and confidentiality.
A range of treatments for complex problems
Algarve Wellness treats a broad spectrum of disorders. Chronic stress, mental fatigue, burn-out, depression, anxiety disorders, addictions or trauma-related disorders. Each day is built around a single objective: to make progress without rushing, and to regain balance at your own pace. The aim is not to impose a single protocol, but to build a coherent path, step by step.
Evidence-based therapeutic approaches
The clinic is based on the most recognized methods in the field of mental and emotional health.
Among the techniques used :
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): to identify negative thought patterns, deconstruct them and replace them with more appropriate ways of thinking.
- DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): particularly suited to emotional regulation disorders.
- EDMR therapy: to deal with traumatic memories.
- Family therapy: useful when the immediate environment plays a role in the unhappiness.
- Psychedelic-assisted therapy: medically supervised, it can support certain profound healing processes.
- Trauma-focused therapy: to get to the root of repetitive behavior or chronic suffering.
These treatments are provided by experienced therapists. The rhythm is often daily, and always adapted to the person’s level of energy and openness.
Cutting-edge technologies at the service of the individual
The clinic also integrates innovative tools, always in the service of care, never for show. Nurosym, for example, is a neuromodulation technology. It acts on the vagus nerve to calm the nervous system, promote mental clarity and restore more stable energy. Or Shen.AI is an intelligent biometric analysis tool. It enables you to monitor your body’s evolution via precise indicators (stress, sleep, heart rate, etc.).
Rest assured, these data remain anonymous. It simply helps to measure progress and adjust care accordingly. On the other hand, these technologies are never imposed. They are part of the available therapeutic arsenal, to be activated if it makes sense for the individual.
Body care too
The body is an anchor. At Algarve Wellness, we start each day with movement: yoga, breathing, walking, sometimes a sunrise meditation. The idea is not performance, but reconnection. The simple act of moving, of inhabiting your body, of gently putting it back into motion, is a therapy in itself.
Nature also plays a fundamental role. Hikes along coastal paths, excursions to caves, sea outings: so many moments to slow down, feel and let yourself be guided. Body treatments are also available. Therapeutic massages, sound baths, customized relaxation treatments. You can receive them on site, or in the privacy of your own room.
Three treatment packages
Standard – The essentials of care, in a structuring environment
The Standard package offers a solid therapeutic framework: five weekly sessions with a therapist, three with a psychologist, a tailor-made treatment plan and follow-up after departure. Added to this are yoga sessions, physical accompaniment by a coach, healthy cuisine prepared on site, and comprehensive lifestyle management.
Executive – Intensive support, available at all times
The more advanced Executive package is designed for demanding profiles or those in crisis. A therapist is on hand 24 hours a day, providing constant support. The therapeutic assessment is enriched (Brainspotting, longevity), a private chef takes care of meals, and daily services are optimized (chauffeur, housekeeping). It’s an ultra-focused, yet fluid bubble.
Prime – The most complete version, in an ultra-luxury villa
The Prime package is the most exclusive. It includes unlimited access to the psychologist, an extended 12-month follow-up program, and advanced medical care (analyses, hyperbaric chamber, bio-restoration). The setting is exceptional: ultra-luxury villa with sea view, personal spa, golf course, chauffeur. Total, uncompromising care for in-depth regeneration in total confidentiality.
Food as care
Wellness is also about food. At Algarve Wellness, the food is nutritious, of course, but it’s also balanced, therapeutic and adapted. Meals are designed by a chef in collaboration with a nutritionist. The aim is to support the brain, regulate mood, aid digestion and boost energy. Products are fresh, local and often organic. Lots of vegetables, seafood, whole grains. Simple, fair but precise cooking. And above all, tasty.
Finally, workshops are offered to better understand the link between diet and mental equilibrium. Brain chemistry, glycemia, micronutrition… are all discussed in a concrete and accessible way.
A transformation that lasts beyond the stay
The standard stay is 30 days. This is no accident. It’s the time needed for new habits to emerge, but also to start anchoring them. But the treatment doesn’t stop there. Algarve Wellness offers post-stay follow-up: remote support, regular advice and a personalized action plan. The idea is not just to get better here, but to continue making progress when you return home.
