Did you know Turkey is famous for some of its well-known detox retreat centers frequented by supermodels, led by famous nutrition specialists and located in some of the most spectacular vacation spots in the country?

The following are Turkey's most popular detox and wellness holiday destinations:

The LifeCo

The LifeCo is undisputedly Turkey's most famous detox center. With its flagship location in Golturkbuku, it has made headlines for hosting the likes of supermodels Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell for years on end. Over the past decade and more, The LifeCo has been the definitive address for detoxing, while enjoying a luxury vacation. In Bodrum, The LifeCo has two locations, with the original being more inland, and The LifeCo Bodrum Beach, located, as the name infers, directly on the beach. The LifeCo is also located in Antalya's Akra Hotel, a luxurious five-star hotel on the seaside of this Mediterranean city and three years ago, The LifeCo also opened a branch in Phuket, Thailand.

The LifeCo's philosophy is based on rejuvenating the body, mind and soul with a variety of detox and cleansing programs and an array of restorative, anti-aging and beauty treatments as well as daily yoga, spa treatments and massages. The setting of the The LifeCo in Bodrum is kind of relaxing, rustic chic, while The LifeCo in Antalya offers all of the amenities of the five-star hotel it is housed in. Their specialty is the master detox program, which is also the supermodels' program of choice, and is a seven-day retreat on a liquid diet of fresh juices, added nutrients and probiotics, accompanied by daily hikes, yoga, meditation, massages and colonics. There are also less intensive detox options that include green juice detoxes or a mixture of juices and raw salads.
