Kurotel Longevity Center and Spa

Located amongst hydrangea blooms in Gramado in Southern Brazil, the Kurotel Longevity Center and Spa offers guests a peaceful mountainside sanctuary. The full-service getaway, opened by a physician and his wife in 1982, offers treatment programs inspired by the European Kur tradition, which focuses on preventative and rehabilitative medicine. The Kur Water Station and Spa focuses on the healing properties of water therapies, as well as health and beauty treatments that incorporate the Kur Cosmetics product line; the Kurotel's Stress Control Center provides relaxing therapy for the mind.

The family-friendly destination serves healthy Brazilian cuisine in its dining room, often to the accompaniment of live music. Between meals and spa services, guests can test their fitness on the tennis courts or in the indoor and outdoor pools. A scenic hiking trail leads to a nearby lake. For relaxation, guests can meander around the garden, stroll through the informative Kur Museum, or enjoy a lecture at the indoor amphitheater.
