Of course, all of this activity requires fuel for your body and
you’re guaranteed to be satisfied and delighted. Oh, the food!
Every delicious meal is prepared for you and served buffet style,
including fresh juices and protein shakes (also available during
the day whenever you feel like a boost) and even fresh coconuts.
You’re never going to get hungry at Phuket Cleanse. There are
cuisine-themed nights from Mexico to Thai to Japanese and
Greek. It’s fresh, clean eating at its best, with enough variety
in the completely raw vegan dishes to prevent even the most
dedicated carnivore from pining for a steak.
The Detox Juice menu is described by founder Mel as: “her
work in progress on the world’s biggest and most exciting
menu” and it’s not hard to believe. The menu runs to about 20
pages already and includes juices, raw soups, elixirs, drinks
and wellness ‘shots’ with delightful and cheeky monikers like
Elvis’s Thai Lover, The Seductress, The Beet Goes On and You
Make My Heart Skip.
From your first day, you’ll start with a shot of fresh wheatgrass
and a shot of ginger juice (laced with black and cayenne
pepper), followed by a tall juice combo of spirulina, lemon, kaffir
lime and mixed greens. The ever-present and knowledgeable
team will talk you through the health benefits of each and you’ll
quickly find yourself settling in to your favourite combinations
and getting more daring! Unless you’ve decided to kick off your
detox with a specific juice fast, there are also protein shakes
and pancakes, eggs and fruit on offer should you be planning a
higher energy output day.
When you first view the whole weekly activity schedule it

Cleanse comes in. The staff is all exceptionally experienced
(often 20 years plus) coaches and trainers, so they know when
to push you, when to get you to pull back, and they treat each
