The Portoroz Lifeclass hotels
Have you ever enjoyed an anti-aging lunch in the Portoroz Lifeclass hotels? Neither do I. At least not before our stay this year. Actually, I had never heard of it before our stay at Hotel Apollo and did not know that there was such a thing. The Hotel Apollo is one of the Portoroz Lifeclass Hotels on the Adriatic coast in Slovenia, I was all the more curious about what awaits us. Not only the lunch should slow down the aging. The entire concept of Portoroz Lifeclass Hotels is designed to spend a holiday on the Slovenian coast, which makes you younger. At the same time, the guest should take home some of this lifestyle.

How the Portoroz Lifeclass Hotels propagate anti-aging
Normally I am very skeptical when it comes to stopping natural processes like aging. What is not there for promises! Magazines, commercials on radio and television, billboards and drugstores are overflowing with offers and claims that this or that means can stop the aging process. I do not believe any of them. After all, aging is a process that nobody can stop. Nobody can escape that.
In the Lifeclass Hotels you will learn to eat a healthy diet
However, one can try to eat healthily and consciously. You can train your musculoskeletal system by moving daily or at least a few times a week for at least 30 minutes. You can also counteract with massages or baths tension. These can - if they become chronic - make the aging process painful. Such approaches make the Portoroz Lifeclass hotels tasteful to their guests and show them how to do it.
That's how it's done
We start our stay at the Portoroz Lifeclass Hotels with an appointment with a therapist. This determines our body type. At the same time, she gives us a list of dishes and dishes. We should eat what is written on it. In doing so, she draws on Ayurvedic principles that aim at the well-being of people. We are divided into the three doshas, which means "that which can cause problems". There are three of them: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each of us is born with a mix of them. The medicine of Ayurveda aims to form the three doshas as a whole and thus help people to feel good.
Breakfast in the Portoroz Lifeclass hotels
It starts with food that is tailored to personal needs. At the Apollo Hotel the day begins with a buffet. However, this differs greatly from those that we otherwise experience on our travels. There are no sausages or eggs with bacon here. Instead, smoothies made from different types of vegetables and fruit stand alongside fruit from the region. The range of breads includes rusks and crispbreads as well as wholemeal breads. The muesli range consists of grain mixtures with dried fruit. There is sausage and meat, but not much. Cakes are gluten-free or baked with local fruit. And at the kitchen there is omelette with ham and cheese or vegetables. Everything fresh and lean, of course.
... and dinner
That's exactly what the evening buffet looks like. There you prepare the salad with oils and vinegar to a salad to taste. Fish dominates the offer and meat is mainly meat such as chicken or pork tenderloin.
Anti-aging lunch
The anti-aging lunch that is presented to us on our first day at the Hotel Apollo is interesting. It starts with a glass of carrot juice and aubergines stuffed with spelled, lentils and vegetables. This is followed by a rice soup and carrot thoran. Unsalted, because salt should be avoided if you want to slow down the aging process. Carrot Thoran is made from carrots, cabbage, mustard seeds, coconut oil, coconut flour and turmeric. Finally, lassi – a kind of yoghurt cream with cucumber and mint – and kapha tea are served.
... makes me easy and carefree
Although this type of food will certainly not be part of my everyday food - I miss the flavors of spices - I have to admit that I felt easy and carefree afterwards. Instead of salt, many of the foods and drinks were flavored with ginger, which is arguably the most important flavor supplier of this type of food.
Movement in the Portoroz Lifeclass hotels
The neighboring hotel of the Hotel Apollo, the Hotel Neptun, is under the motto of exercise and sport. Each floor of the hotel advertises a different kind of sport and in the stairwell the guests are told about their preferences by means of diagrams and information boards.
Portoroz offers many opportunities to live a healthy life
There are countless ways to get around in Portoroz. This ranges from standup paddling to kite surfing to mountain biking or leisure cycling along the Adriatic coast to the town of Piran. This attracts with its history and good food. If you want, you can swim in the sea or use the pools in the Portoroz Lifeclass Hotels, which also include the Portoroz Thermal Baths. In one, guests can even swim in the waters of a prehistoric sea. This was discovered in the depths of the earth beneath the city. Its water is said to be particularly healthy. Or you can choose the seawater swimming pool in another part of the thermal spa area instead.

Wellness and spa areas of the Lifeclass hotels
If you want to have your body treated, there are both wellness and spa areas available. We were allowed to choose between an Ayurveda and a Thai massage. Petar chose the Thai massage at the Wai-Thai Spa in the Hotel Riviera. He told me afterwards that his Thai masseuse couldn't treat his back tension with hand massages. So she climbed onto his back and massaged him with her feet. I tried an Ayurvedic massage that uses oils. These are massaged into the skin - so vigorously that I even felt sore muscles for the days afterwards. So you shouldn't be squeamish if you want to enjoy the anti-aging treatments in the Portoroz Lifeclass Hotels.
We spent three nights in Portoroz Lifeclass Hotels. I have to say, the treatments and food at Hotel Apollo, Grand Hotel Portoroz and Hotel Riviera definitely made a difference. Afterwards I felt better and lighter than I had in a long time. A longer stay in the Portoroz Lifeclass Hotels is definitely good for your health. You feel regenerated and also rejuvenated. We are already planning our next stay at Portoroz Lifeclass Hotels for the next round of regenerative treatments.

Hello Monika and Petar,
It was always a great pleasure for me to meet you two and I really enjoyed the trip to Slovenia. :-) I have to admit that I was a bit (very!) Skeptical about the menu for our healthy food, but the stuffed eggplant was delicious!
I hope we'll see each other again soon.
Lovely wishes
Christina
Dear Christina,
We also enjoyed the trip with you through Slovenia. Maybe it'll work out soon with a meeting? We would be very happy about that.
Best regards,
Monika and Petar
I am not serious about anti-aging, although it would certainly make sense to look in the mirror. Great, what's there. And the dishes look really good too. - Wanderlust ... :-)
Hello Barbara,
we're fine too. The stay was still good, even though the anti-aging food is not necessarily our standard food. Salt is frowned upon. Instead, a lot is spiced with ginger, and that's too hot for me.
Greetings,
Monika
Thanks for the report - I hope to be there soon to my 44er - there could be a few years tumble down, I think.
Kiss,
Angelika
Hello Angelica,
After our stay I actually felt regenerated, maybe not younger, but better :).
Best regards,
Monika
