Your Greatest Wealth is Your Health

The most successful people value high-quality self-care

For five decades, our team of health and medical professionals’ mission has stayed the same: to help people regain and maintain their health, so they can return to, and stay in, contributing roles in their families, workplaces and communities.

Over 30 000 guests have come to us with the knowledge that self-care is inherently selfless. Some were tired, unwell or uncertain; left relaxed and with renewed energy, vitality and wisdom.

Within an hour of Johannesburg and Pretoria, Hoogland Health Hydro is nestled in a picturesque private nature reserve and offers transformative retreats from 2 days to several weeks.

Airport transfers from both ORTambo and Lanseria airport can be arranged. A daily shuttle service from the Centurion Gautrain station available.

Premier Medically Supervised
Therapeutic Water Fasting Retreat

Under the guidance of world-renowned fasting expert, Dr André (The Fast Doctor), Hoogland’s team has supported guests through the healing journey of fasting for almost 50 years.

For guests with metabolic, autoimmune or chronic inflammatory conditions, or need extra support while undergoing cancer treatment, a medically supervised water fast may be worthwhile part of a long-term solution. This ancient healing modality is getting increasing modern attention and can make a meaningful difference in as little as 3 days. Hoogland has supervised safe and effective fasts of up to 40 days at a time. Fasting is not compulsory, and stricter medical supervision is needed in some cases. Alternatives to fasting such as fast-mimicking are also available.
