The bedrooms are naturally bright with uplifting décor, stylish furnishings, quality bed linen, and wooden flooring, and each room has a large en-suite, with a toilet, sink, and shower. Each room is equipped with an ozone generator, ultrasonic humidifying aromatherapy diffuser for essential oils, FAR infrared heaters, ceiling fan, TV, and Wi-Fi coverage. Each room shares a large terrace where you can enjoy your meals, sunbathe, or simply absorb the panoramic mountain views and expansive skies that truly help to enhance your feeling of wellness and serenity.

How Physionatural Wellness Centre can help

Physionatural Wellness Centre can help you become aware of your body's burden and learn how to clear physical toxins that have accumulated in your body and for some, release those emotional stresses to enable your health to flourish. You will experience how to lay the foundations for a healthier way to live, by teaching you a better approach to food and empowering you by becoming fitter and stronger in every way.

Your first days with Physionatural Wellness Centre

The first five days of your stay are the basis of your detox process, with a diet based on juices, smoothies, and salads made with fresh vegetables and fruits, which also form an important part of your kick start to weight loss. Of course, you can continue with this plan for longer if you wish, it's entirely up to you.

Enjoying real food

After the initial five days, it’s time to begin eating! Physionatural Wellness Centre will continue the detox process by eating a low inflammatory diet with the right balance of healing foods that your body needs to function optimally. You will be eating nutrient-rich, nourishing, and delicious foods that really are medicinal! With an abundance of fresh fruit, green leafy vegetables, wonderful organic meat, and fish dishes, all whole superfoods, are packed full of healthy healing properties and flood your body with revitalizing nutrients.

Exercise your way to a healthy body

The gym workouts are encouraged as they not only allow you to lose weight faster but also sculpt your figure so that you can look great and feel attractive. They also include aerobic exercises such as jogging, walking, swimming, cycling, and rebounding, which are timetabled throughout the week and all help to generate greater levels of health and vitality.

Following your health assessment an individual exercise program will be made for you that focuses on your personal requirements so that you can exercise optimally and get better results. This can then be followed for the duration of your stay, with revision throughout and advice for when you return home.

Discover the beauty of Spain

First thing every morning, you will be waking up to the sun’s rays with a brisk walk to really warm up the lymphatics and get everything circulating well. These walks will be guided so you don’t need to worry about getting lost and you will gain the knowledge of this picturesque area so that you get to see the best of our beautiful surroundings in the Maestrazgo Iberic Mountain range.

What can you expect at the end of your retreat?

During the week's detox process you will really notice your health improving. Everyone is different but typically some pretty amazing things happen as your body and liver become rested and recover to give you amazing benefits. You will feel lighter, your mood will be happier, and your memory clearer. Joint pain can reduce, sleeping becomes more profound, eyes and skin become brighter, and you will experience an overall improvement of chronic symptoms. Your energy levels are going to skyrocket and you’re going to feel better all over and be carrying less weight than when you arrived, usually 2 to 5 pounds less.

Level of intensity

The intensity of your detox will depend on your individual needs and circumstances and the degree to which you wish to commit to the process. If you are new to detox then we recommend that you start with a three-day detox period, this can be extended if you wish; nothing is set in stone it is entirely up to you. The evaluation of your detox period can be decided once you are here, following your initial assessment.

How to prepare for your stay

First and foremost, if you are dealing with a chronic condition or specific disease situation, be sure to consult with your doctor before starting your cleanse and detox program. Three or four days prior to coming, to help the liver prepare for your cleanse, try to stick to a less processed diet avoid fried foods, excess oil and fats, and have small meals. This will allow your body to rest and prepare. Also, increasing your water intake and adding a little lemon to it, will gently introduce you to the process.

In order to learn a little about you and your health, two weeks before the start of your retreat, Physionatural Wellness Centre will send you a health questionnaire, so that it can be returned to them before your stay. This information will help them to personalize your retreat as much as possible. At the end of your week, a post-retreat guide, specific to your individual needs, will be given to you. This will facilitate you to continue with what you have learned and enable easy integration into your home life. Physionatural Wellness Centre hopes you enjoy the positive effects of your stay long into the future.

Daily program

This is the timetable of a typical day you might expect during your retreat. Of course, there is no pressure, all activities are optional, you can pick and choose which activities you wish to participate in and give yourself plenty of time to relax. You can do some, all, or none, it's entirely up to you. There is also time for relaxation, sauna, swimming, sunbathing, walking, or spending time in the hot tub.

They do sometimes vary this program timetable, depending on the guest's requirements and the weather. That way you can feel more relaxed and not miss your chosen retreat activity! Once a week they take you on a long excursion so that you can explore some of the beautiful areas that surround you, like Castellote Templar Castle, Calanda or Santolea lake, the Bergantes river, or the Pitarque River source.

Location

Physionatural is located at the doors of the Maestrazgo region, a beautiful area of Spain, set on the Iberic Mountain Range. Although they are in remote locations access to them is easy. They are in a very rural area of Teruel, one of the most unpopulated regions of Spain. The clinic is two kilometers from the nearest village, Mas de las Matas. The center stands on its own, with no immediate neighbors, and sits in quiet and beautiful surroundings, overlooking the Guadalupe River valley and the Iberic Mountains, an ideal spot if you want to relax in a peaceful and natural environment.

This area is blessed with an amazing array of both flora and fauna, beautiful aromatic herbs, flowers, wildlife, mountain goats, wild boars, vultures, eagles, and kestrels. In the summer months, in particular, they are visited by amazing birdlife with swallows, bee-eaters, hoopoes, black redstarts, as well as green and great spotted woodpeckers to name but a few. The region has great geological interest also with the surrounding landscapes that appear almost unpopulated, waiting to be explored.

The Guadalupe River valley stretches from the edge of the property with plenty of footpaths for walks or hikes. Within a 10 minute drive, you can visit the two surrounding lakes, Calanda and Santolea, ideal locations for a bit of swimming. Also close, you can visit the Bergantes River, a beautiful canyon where you can enjoy a swim in natural clear pools or sunbathing on the giant rocks that line this canyon, or visit the beautiful Cristal Caves in Molinos. For those with interest, the local area is rich in Templar heritage with Templar Churches in Castellote and Bordon or the spectacular remains of a Templar Castle positioned on top of the mountain range that overlooks the village Castellote.

If you are tempted by Spanish tradition, there are many festivals throughout the year in the many neighboring villages; Alcorisa, Alcañiz, and Calanda where the Route de Tambor begins with drum playing processions and parades an amazing experience indeed. They are also very close to Alcañiz Motorland Race Track situated approximately 30 minutes away.
