A self-guided juice cleanse retreat designed to help you slow down, reset, and recharge, this experience can begin on any day of the week. Settle into a newly renovated hotel near the beautiful Praia da Rocha beach, in one of Portugal’s most breathtaking coastal settings.
We invite you to take a digital time out, step away from the pace of everyday life, and give yourself permission to pause. At Bend it like Buddha, you are warmly welcomed into a Detox Juice Cleanse experience created to support rest, renewal, and inner balance.
Fasting may support the physical, mental, and spiritual body by allowing the digestive system to rest and recover. This gentle process can encourage detoxification, improve mental clarity, and help release toxins in a gradual way.
