With Christmas less than 70 days away we’re in the Danger Zone of not being fighting fit for this festive season. And where better to have a little ‘detox before retox’ this autumn than in the sun-soaked Algarve? 
Pine Cliffs Resort, a Luxury Collection Resort, has launched a new wellness programme in collaboration with Serenity – The Art of Well Being and Active By Serenity. Pine Cliffs’ guests can now embark on their pre-Christmas ‘detox before retox’ with a weight-loss management programme which includes a personalised fitness assessment and seasonal nutrition plan. Guests will develop a whole new attitude to weight loss ensuring a more energising, healthier and sustainable lifestyle for life before – and after – the Christmas indulgence. 

Pine Cliffs is one of Europe’s stellar fitness destinations with fitness studios and two Active Health Clubs boasting magnificent views over the cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean. The forward-thinking fitness and wellness concept provides transformative experiences to nurture the mind, body and soul. The new guest weight-loss programmes includes:

Fitness assessments with a personal trainer (including a personalised plan to take home)
Nutrition consultations (including a personalised plan to take home)
Detox kit
Personal training sessions

Of course, Pine Cliffs’ new weight-loss programme is not just for Christmas; the 7, 10 and 14-night retreats are available all-year-round. Price includes breakfast, lunch and dinner (no drinks, obviously) and seasonal meal plans designed by a nutritionist.
