THE LIFECO PHUKET

A stressful working schedule, polluted air, electromagnetic waves, food loaded with additives, pesticides, antibiotics and hormones: the modern lifestyle plays havoc with one’s physique and psyche. And it’s all mirrored our skin. When successful Turkish businessman Ersin Pamuksüzer tried detoxing in 2002, it was a revelation: he felt rejuvenated and full of new energy. It was a beginning of a journey of discovery leading to the creation of LifeCo, a company dedicated to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. With 4 centers in Turkey (Istanbul, Bodrum, Ankara and Antalya) offering detoxification and healthy nutrition using plant based raw living foods, as well as anti-age rejuvenating and disease prevention programs, the brand enjoys a cult following far beyond the Turkish borders: models such as Kate Moss, Mariacarla Boscono and Naomi Campbell are regulars. Asian fans of the concept can now enjoy its benefits without traveling to Turkey thanks to the recent opening of The LifeCo Phuket (Thailand) the fist outpost in Asia of the brand. Nestled in tropical vegetation, a 10 minutes drive from the beach of Nai Thon (the resort has a Juice Bar there), the 40 room boutique hotel offers the company’s signature Master Detox Program: pure juicing, (7 days or more) complemented by massage, colon cleansing, yoga and meditation. Promising renewed vigor, shredded pounds and a 100 watts complexion, the program is the most popular. Other choices include healthy nutrition programs featuring raw gourmet meals prepared by the famous Saf Kitchen, low in calories but so yummy (you’ll beg the chef for the raw chocolate brownie recipe); beauty and weight control programs that will deliver a thinner, fitter you through a full schedule of Turkish scrubs, ozone saunas, immune cocktails, anti-cellulite massages, glutathione therapies, facials, and personalized exercise (but don’t worry, there is always time for a trip to the beach). The just launched Anti-Aging Golfing Package combines healthy alkalizing raw vegan food to the gentle exercise and fresh air provided by a round of golf. Daily talks and projections on healthy living will motivate even the most skeptical guest. Whatever you choose, a visit to LifeCo will signal the start a new, healthier chapter of your life. And did I mention the radiant, glowing skin? No wonder Kate keeps coming for more. (http://www.thelifeco.com/en/centers/phuket-en-)
