Portugal has the first alcohol-free resort in Europe. The vacation spot is targeted at recovering addicts. The project is called Sober Holidays and has a goal to give visitors a safe and supportive environment that is fun. The resort is a restored 19th century villa in the Algarve region in southern Portugal. The Algarve is a popular vacation region with beautiful beaches and amazing seafood. The resort is set to open in April. It will offer varied activities for guests like biking, mountain hiking, golf, tennis and bird watching.
Guests will be offered access to three weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings if they choose to attend. The guests will also have the choice to attend weekly Gamblers Anonymous meetings and twice weekly Narcotics Anonymous meetings. This resort is being greeting with anxious anticipation. It is tough to find an environment where people are surrounded by others who are experiencing the same thing while not being bombarded by temptation. The resort is owned by a recovering alcoholic.
