I’d like to book this!





Would you like to detox your body without fasting on just juices? Discover mild fasting at Vitalisé Portugal – an effective yet gentle way to reset your body with nourishing, light meals. Ideal for anyone who cares about healthy eating, is looking for a liver or gut detox, wants to lose weight, or simply wishes to enjoy comfort, wholesome food, movement, and sunshine.

A gentle detox with real food – relax and lose weight in the sun

Mild fasting is a popular detox method where you still eat — but only light, unprocessed, and easily digestible foods. The big advantage? You feel energized, lose weight, and it’s easy to stick to. At our retreats in the Algarve, you’ll experience this gentle reset in a peaceful, sunny setting, supported by our professional team.

What is Mild Fasting?






Enjoy the benefits of mild fasting

During a mild fasting retreat, you’ll receive two light meals per day in addition to juices and soups. Think fresh salads, grilled vegetables, and raw food dishes. All meals are low in carbohydrates, plant-based, gluten-free, and free from added sugars – carefully designed to give your digestive system maximum rest.

10 AM – Juice + Breakfast
1 PM – Juice + Lunch
4 PM – Juice 
7 PM – Delicious Vegetable Soup

In addition to mild fasting, Vitalisé Portugal also offers juice fasting and wellness weeks. During the juice fast, the program consists of nourishing juices and soups. If you choose a wellness week, you’ll enjoy delicious vegetarian whole food meals. This is not a detox program, but a pampering week full of relaxation and self-care.
