Luxury Algarve Fitness Bootcamp: Train at The Campus in Quinta do Lago

The week runs Saturday to Friday. You arrive Saturday afternoon from 1500, settle in, and have your first weigh-in and measurements with a trainer. Mornings after that start with a dynamic warm-up and a workout — one day boxing, another metabolic conditioning, another HIIT intervals, another body toning with weights. Beach walks and circuits happen along the Algarve coastline, and there's a sunrise hike built into the schedule. Padel is included in the package; tennis courts can be booked privately through The Campus with or without a coach for an extra charge.

Training happens at The Campus in Quinta do Lago, a short drive from the hotel and from Faro airport. It's a state-of-the-art facility with high-end gyms, courts and bike hire, and it's the base international athletes and sports teams use when they're training in the region. Mountain and road bikes can be hired through The Campus, and cycling guides can be booked there directly. Equestrian centres nearby can be booked privately, and the admin team can arrange bookings for you for a small fee.

Food is handled by the hotel chef, working from a bespoke nutrition menu created for the camp — nutrient-dense meals and snacks designed to support training and healthy weight and fat loss. Coffee, black tea and detox teas are included at breakfast only; hot drinks outside breakfast are charged to your room. Dietary requirements need to be flagged in advance, and there's an extra charge of £30 per week for pescatarian or halal. If you want an individualised plan like ketogenic, intermittent fasting or plant-based, that's arranged at booking with a consultation and costs extra. Nutrition seminars and food education sessions are part of the programme.

Accommodation is a luxury boutique art deco hotel with ensuite rooms, a pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and cold plunge, a TV room with satellite television, and wifi in every room. Other non-bootcamp guests will be on the complex. Complimentary mini toiletries are provided, and each room has a safe. Washing is signed to your room, charged per item and returned in 24–36 hours. Departures are Friday morning from 1100; other days and times can be arranged in advance only.

The client base skews towards people who want results and are willing to train hard for them — the operator publishes a lot of before-and-after weight and body-fat numbers from its other UK camp. The Algarve version is positioned as the same programme in a warmer, more upmarket setting, with the option of half days if you want more time by the pool. Return rate across the company is quoted at 86%.
