I got the opportunity recently to speak with Drs. Michael and Golda Joseph, the founders of Alta Vita. What a rare treat it was to spend some time with them and learn about their experiences, knowledge and their business. 
The Josephs have been in the health, relaxation & alternative medicine business for over 30 years. In 2005, they relocated to Panama to retire and enjoy the beautiful lifestyle Panama has to offer. Shortly after relocating, they realized that Panama was missing the holistic and organic services and products they had offered and enjoyed for so many years. Seeing the opportunity to provide these much needed services to an eager audience, they opened Alta Vita Spa. In many ways, Alta Vita is an urban Oasis of health and beauty in the heart of Panama City. They bring the Holistic lifestyle to Panama that people around the world have enjoyed for so many years.
As a chemical-free spa, Alta Vita believes that you can be healthy and beautiful without harming yourself or the environment around you. Alta Vita offers both 21st century health technologies and all-natural beauty services incorporating products containing fresh fruit, flowers, herbs and organic essential oils for their natural healing properties. All of our exfoliations, polishes, splashes, baths, hair treatments and oils are made fresh daily in our spa kitchen. All recipes are signature and unique to Alta Vita.
Their menu showcases nearly 100 services to best meet your health, beauty, anti-aging, pain elimination and weight loss needs. All treatments can be purchased on their own or in packages at a 10% discount.
Dr. Golda Joseph says, “As we’re a Family run business, we feel that the spa is a second home. We invite all of our members and guests to feel at home with us. We look forward to taking care of you and your family for many years to come and we welcome you to our Family.”
In the 4 years that I’ve spent in Panama, I’ve never found another spa or other health providers who are as dedicated, experienced, knowledgeable, caring or committed. I can’t recommend Alta Vita highly enough and hope to see you there soon.
