Ayurveda at one of Madeira's most picturesque seaside resorts. Boutique-style Alpino Atlantico offers a blend of genuine treatments within a stunning environment.
Where you are going...
Madeira, celebrated as the 'Island of Flowers' and 'Island for Body & Soul,' beckons you to relax, unwind, and breathe in the fresh air of its mild climate. Perched on a cliff along the south coast is hotel Alpino Atlántico a tranquil haven within a protected maritime reserve, offering sweeping views of the pristine Lido Galomar bay. Funchal airport is just a short 15-minute drive away.
Why you’ll love it...
The Ashoka Ayurveda Centre at Alpino Atlántico is supervised by an Indian couple, both Ayurvedic doctors, bringing specialized expertise in both Ayurveda and nutritional knowledge. Indulge in buffet-style meals featuring Ayurvedic and predominantly vegetarian dishes. As a guest at Alpino Atlântico, you have access to facilities at the two other sister hotels: the recently renovated Galosol and the adults-only hotel Galomar. Beyond the Ayurveda programs, this tranquil resort is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, diving, and snorkeling. Your stay promises a range of engaging activities for a relaxing and healing experience.
Alpino Atlántico specializes in Ayurveda, with consultations and treatments conducted by highly skilled therapists at the resort's Ashoka Ayurveda Centre. You easily walk from your room to the spa area in bathrobe and slippers. Alpino Atlántico attracts guests who specifically stay to do an Ayurvedic program. Each programme starts with a consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor. The team of ayurveda therapists are trained by Ayurvedic practitioners from Asia. There's a dedicated space for yoga and meditation classes, a delightful complement to the treatments. One day after your arrival, the Ayurvedic doctor identifies your constitution (dosha) and devises a comprehensive plan. This plan includes a series of ayurveda treatments. When we were visiting Alpino Atlántico, we received a tailor-made, personalized nutrition consultation with Dr. Subha. It was fascinating to learn how to adjust and optimize your diet based on your doshas. The practical tools give guidance how to implement this at home.
