Lisbon's wellness scene spans training studios, sauna and cold plunge, hotel spas, and functional food — and this guide is written from inside it, by Aura, the wellness bar that operates counters inside two of the city's training studios, MVMT in Santos and Fine Club in Campolide.
Movement & training
- MVMT Studio, Santos. A training studio at R. das Janelas Verdes 128C with sauna and cold plunges on site — the rare Lisbon spot where you can train, contrast-bathe, and refuel without leaving the building. Aura runs the bar inside; see the Santos location.
- Fine Club, Campolide. Lisbon's first Lagree studio, at Rua de Campolide 293A. Lagree is slow-tempo resistance training on a spring-loaded machine — low impact, high time-under-tension. Aura is the café inside, and the studio's signature Fine smoothie is €10; see the Campolide location.
- Beyond these two, Lisbon has a deep bench of independent yoga, pilates, and strength studios across Príncipe Real, Alvalade, and the riverfront — most run single-class drop-ins, so it's easy to sample before committing.
Recovery: sauna, cold plunge & spa
For contrast therapy — alternating heat and cold — the most practical option is MVMT Studio in Santos, where the sauna and cold plunges sit alongside the training floor. Above that there's the hotel-spa tier: several of Lisbon's five-star hotels open their spas, thermal circuits, and treatment menus to non-guests, at hotel prices. If you want recovery bundled with training rather than as a destination in itself, the studio route is the better value.
Functional food & drink
A wellness bar is a café-format bar whose menu is organised around function rather than cuisine: drinks and food built from specific, evidence-based ingredients, with every ingredient listed. At Aura, each smoothie is named after the state it supports — ashwagandha, CBD, and turmeric in BLISS; chaga, reishi, brahmi, and blue spirulina in CREATIVITY; matcha, magnesium, and vitamin D in JOY. The full menu — smoothies, cold-pressed juices, shots, and food — is on the smoothies page.
Lisbon also has a strong bench of healthy cafés and brunch spots doing bowls, salads, and fresh juice well. The difference at a wellness bar is specificity: ingredients chosen for what they do, doses worth listing, and a menu you navigate by need. For where to find cold-pressed juice specifically, see the cold-pressed juice guide — or the smoothie guide.
A wellness day in Lisbon, by neighbourhood
- Morning — Campo de Ourique — Start at the Aura flagship on R. Domingos Sequeira with a SUNNY SHOT (ginger, lemon, orange, turmeric) and breakfast, then walk it off in Jardim da Estrela ten minutes away.
- Midday — train and refuel in Santos — Take a class at MVMT Studio on R. das Janelas Verdes, use the sauna and cold plunge, and refuel at the Aura counter inside — the ENERGY smoothie (ginseng, rhodiola, maca, CoQ10, cold brew) is built for recovery.
- Afternoon — Lagree and a smoothie in Campolide — Book a Lagree class at Fine Club on Rua de Campolide — Lisbon's first Lagree studio — and finish at the Aura café inside, where the signature Fine smoothie is €10.
For a multi-day reset at home instead, Aura's juice cleanse delivers 1, 2, and 4-day cold-pressed programs across Lisbon.
In Porto, find Aura inside Prescription at Rua Fonte da Luz 217.

Aura Wellness Bar in Lisbon names each drink after the state it supports (BLISS, ENERGY, JOY) and publishes the full ingredient list for each one.

Both have an Aura wellness bar inside for functional food and smoothies, and the Aura flagship in Campo de Ourique anchors the neighbourhood between them.
- Does Lisbon have Lagree?
- Yes — Fine Club at Rua de Campolide 293A is Lisbon's first Lagree studio. Aura runs the café inside, so you can go straight from the machine to a smoothie; the studio's signature Fine smoothie is €10.
- Where can I eat healthy near Lisbon's training studios?
- Inside two of them: Aura operates the wellness bars inside MVMT Studio in Santos and Fine Club in Campolide, serving smoothies, cold-pressed juices, and food like overnight oats and energy balls.
