Brazil's Best Wellness Retreat 2026

Kurotel is a sanctuary dedicated to well-being, health and happiness, combining advanced technology with a deeply human approach to care. Located in Gramado, in southern Brazil — a charming destination often referred to as the "Brazilian Switzerland" — it brings together high-standard hospitality, a medical clinic and a refined spa experience within a single environment of complete renewal.

Since 1982, this vision has been grounded in the Kur Method, developed in the 1970s by Kurotel's founder, honoured in Greece as one of the leading names in global preventive medicine. Built on five essential pillars — water, movement, nutrition, relaxation and balance — the method guides a 360° approach to health, combining integrative medicine, science, innovation and the expertise of an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary team. With a satisfaction rate of 98.9%, it supports a wide range of goals, including longevity, weight management, burnout recovery, performance enhancement, memory and cognition, menopause and overall quality of life. A legacy recognised worldwide: Kurotel is elected the Best Medical Spa in the Americas.

As a natural extension of this philosophy, Kur My Home Spa was created to bring Kurotel's principles into everyday life. The beauty and wellness product line prioritises natural and ecologically certified ingredients, is paraben-free and not tested on animals — committed to quality and sustainability in every detail.
