Where Science meets Serenity: The Al Karob's Depression, Anxiety & Burnout Retreat in the Algarve

A pioneering wellness experience by ETHOS Wellness Boutique Hotels

In the gentle hills and sunlit coastlines of southern Portugal lies a sanctuary unlike any other — Al-Karob Yoga Boutique Hotel, part of the Ethos Wellness Boutique Hotels collection. 

More than a luxury retreat, it’s a groundbreaking concept in mental and emotional healing — the first hotel in Portugal to integrate Brain Healing Technology (rTMS) into holistic wellness programs. This is the Depression, Anxiety & Burnout Retreat — a transformative journey designed to restore balance, clarity, and peace in a world that never stops moving.


Healing beyond relaxation: A new paradigm in Wellness

While most retreats focus on relaxation, Al Karob Yoga Boutique Hotel goes further — merging modern neuroscience with ancient healing wisdom. Guests experience a personalized program that combines:

  • rTMS Brain Healing Therapy (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) — a clinically proven, non-invasive technology that helps rebalance brain activity, alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety.
  • Yoga, Meditation & Mindfulness Sessions — to restore calm and emotional grounding.
  • Functional Nutrition & Detox Cuisine — crafted to nourish both the body and the mind.
  • Holistic Treatments & Energy Therapies — including massage, sound therapy, and breathwork.
  •  Nature Immersion & Mindful Walks — in the serene Algarve landscape, enhancing mental clarity and vitality.

Every detail — from the architecture inspired by Arabic heritage to the natural materials, light, and sound design — is intentionally curated to promote inner stillness and regeneration.
