Juicy Oasis in Portugal opened in June. Bigger than the Turkey site, it has a fi ve- treatment room spa
JUICE MASTER RETREATS
“We ran our fi rst retreat in Turkey 10 years ago – the 7lbs in 7 days book had done incredibly well, and we contacted our data- base to see if anyone would like to go,” says Juice Master founder Jason Vale. “It was such a success that we found a location we could rent throughout the summer.” Located in the mountains outside the vil-
lage of Gocek, the rustic Juicy Mountain retreat offers 11 rooms and four luxury tents. There’s a pool with mountain water, a cov- ered space for exercise in the heat of the day, a platform for yoga and rebounding – high- energy classes using mini-trampolines – and beautiful surroundings for the daily walks.

Nothing is compulsory, and there are a few hours in the middle of the day for relaxation, but guests are encouraged to participate in as much as they can, with around eight hours of activities scheduled daily. One-to- one yoga or fi tness training is also available at £40 (US$62, €46) for an hour, as well as 50-minute massages for £50 (US$78, €58). Meanwhile, Juicy Oasis launched in Por-
tugal in June 2013. The new retreat – this time wholly owned by Vale – is bigger and more luxurious, but again offers ‘styl- ish camping’ options. As it’s open all year, it also includes a small gym and the Eden Spa. “There’s a beautiful relaxation room with suspended cocoons, a hot pool, five treatment rooms and an outdoor loft sauna overlooking the lake,” says Vale. “There’s also a yoga dome and a huge exercise plat- form overlooking the lake.”
And Vale has plans for more Juicy Oases.
“I’d like two in the States – one on the east coast and one on the west. I’d also like one in Australia and one in England, in Cornwall. But if, on my travels, I came across a spot on the beach in Thailand that I could buy and make a rustic retreat with wooden tree huts, I’d consider that too!” Prices for the week, excluding flights
and transfer, range from £450–£1,150 (US$698-US$1,800, €526-€1,350) for Tur- key, or £645–£2,150 (US$1,000-US$3,350, €754-€2,500) for Portugal. The Eden Spa treatment menu includes colonics, starting at €65 (US$101, €76) for 45 minutes; and a range of massage-based therapies starting at the same price and going up to €140 (US$217, £164) for a 100-minute Vichy shower massage treatment.
