The core DNA of Longevity brand is Wellness. Our concept and our programmes aim towards prevention, rebalancing dysfunctions, regenerating health, boosting the immune system and promoting physical, mental and holistic wellbeing.
Being a player with health and wellness clinical content in its services and programmes, officially registered with the Health Authorities, Longevity already adheres to very strict guidelines for our clients’ health and safety.

The current pandemic outbreak has triggered an enhanced focus towards preventing, mitigating and managing risks around Covid-19 which lead to the creation of Longevity 360º Covid-19 Safety & Prevention Protocol. Its application varies slightly by Longevity location due to specific physical infrastructure setup, but they are all stricter than the official Portugal Tourism Board and National Health Authority Clean & Safe protocol. Here is a summary applicable to Longevity Health & Wellness Hotel:
