Feeling tired, bloated, or out of balance? Then a detox holiday at Vitalisé Portugal might be just what you need. Want to lose weight and cleanse your body while on vacation? Our juice fasting and mild fasting programs help flush out toxins, restore your gut health, and bring calm to your mind. You can choose to stay at one of our two beautiful locations: Casa Conmigo or Vila Mimosa – both peaceful oases in the sunny south of Portugal.
A detox week is a full-body reset. By adjusting your diet and lifestyle, you support the natural elimination of toxins. Eating less (or juicing) and moving gently in nature gives your digestive system a break and helps your energy flow freely again.
Restore your energy with a guided detox program in the Algarve.
Detoxing with plant-based meals (mild fasting) and/or fresh juices is a gentle yet powerful way to cleanse your body. The focus is on pure, alkaline, plant-based nutrition that supports your system rather than burdening it. By choosing foods that promote an alkaline environment, the body's acid-alkaline balance is restored—helping to release stored toxins from fat cells.
Many people experience increased energy, improved digestion, and greater mental clarity. Both juice fasting and mild fasting are (lightly) ketogenic programs, meaning the body shifts into fat-burning mode. This state of ketosis allows for a deeper cellular cleanse, as toxins are released during the metabolic switch.
The result? A refreshing full-body reset—for both body and mind. As your digestion slows down, your gut and liver get the time and space they need to recover and regenerate.
You can choose between a 7-day or longer detox program, with the option to follow a mild fasting plan, a juice fasting plan, or a personalized combination of both.

During your mild fasting retreat, you’ll enjoy a daily menu of fresh juices, warming soups, and two light, nutrient-rich meals. These meals include vibrant raw dishes, crisp salads, and grilled seasonal vegetables—completely plant-based, low in carbohydrates, and free from gluten and added sugars.

In addition to the alkaline (vegan) nutrition program, Vitalisé Portugal offers targeted supplements and superfoods to support liver and gut detox. You’ll also have access to our infrared sauna and Swedish sauna to promote sweating and enhance the elimination of toxins. On top of that, your stay includes two lymphatic drainage sessions to further support the release of waste products from the body.
Detoxing Your Body
Through intermittent fasting and a low-carbohydrate nutrition program, we encourage the body to enter ketosis—a fat-burning state that is essential for releasing stored toxins from fat tissue.
To support the elimination of these liberated toxins, we use targeted methods such as supplementation, physical activity, sauna sessions, and lymphatic drainage.
Our dedicated and experienced team will guide you through your detox journey with personal attention, practical advice, and expert care.
Keto and Intermittent Fasting
Your liver greatly benefits from a health retreat. As the body’s main detoxification organ, the liver plays a vital role in clearing out waste and toxins. After periods of stress, unhealthy eating, or medication use, a liver detox can significantly boost the body’s ability to recover.
At Vitalisé Portugal, we support liver function with a carefully designed nutrition program rich in alkaline, plant-based ingredients. In addition, we use targeted supplementation to further stimulate the body's natural detox processes. This way, your liver gets both the rest and the support it needs to function at its best.
The result? More energy, clearer skin, and an overall sense of well-being.
Liver Detox: Give Your Body a Reset
Guests come to Vitalisé Portugal to reset their bodies, burn fat, and restore their energy. A detox retreat is an effective approach for symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, hormonal imbalance, and sluggish digestion. It can also help reduce skin issues, stomach discomfort, abdominal swelling, poor sleep, and sugar cravings.
By shifting your body into fat-burning mode (ketosis), you create space for deep healing and cellular renewal. Many participants notice a reduction in belly fat, improved mental clarity, and sharper focus.
It’s an ideal solution for stress-related complaints, digestive issues, and weight loss resistance. A keto detox offers a powerful reset for both your metabolism and immune system.
