A world-class wellness destination with a track record in longevity
It’s hard to imagine anything more invigorating than a few days at the Clinique La Prairie health centre, tucked away in the pristine, lakeside town of Clarens. Here, in between soaring mountains and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Geneva, moments away from the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyards, guests are invited to embark on a journey of total restoration and renewal. Founded in 1931 by Professor Niehans, a visionary physician and pioneer in the field of cell therapy, Clinique La Prairie was the place where Niehans established an international reputation for medical excellence, through the development of avant-garde techniques that could promote healing and regeneration in the body. Today, Clinique La Prairie remains at the forefront of preventative medicine, offering longevity-centric programmes that promote overall wellness by addressing the clinic’s four pillars: Medical, Nutrition, Wellness and Movement. Their philosophy is rooted in the belief that the key to living a long, healthy life lies in the holistic approach of addressing the whole person, from the physical, to mental and emotional, and by doing so, increasing overall longevity.
A transformative detox experience that rejuvenates body, mind and soul
No one does wellness quite like Clinique La Prairie, and their Detox Reset programme sets the benchmark for health retreats across the world. The five-day transformative journey takes guests through a myriad of detoxifying experiences, using an holistic approach that rebalances the body’s homeostasis, purifies it from toxins and activates the body’s self-healing ability. The journey begins with a comprehensive health evaluation—with everything from a blood analysis, to heavy metal screenings and body composition tests—that assess your health status in order to create a personalised programme that caters to your individual needs. What’s next? You’ll meet with expert nutritionists who guide you through a tailored meal plan, featuring essential nutrients that will boost your body’s detoxifying processes. And these are not your average detox meals. The clinic’s restaurant SEEDS is helmed by celebrated Chef David Allessandria, who gained success in Michelin-starred restaurants across Belgium and Luxembourg, and offers creative meals that resemble works of art, while containing the finest ingredients that ensure guests experience pleasure in every bite. With carefully curated wellbeing experiences, such as facials, cutting-edge cryotherapy treatments and results-focused massages that stimulate lymphatic functions, as well as movement activities like ancient yoga, breathwork and outdoor hikes that help restore mental balance, the all-encompassing programme will leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and equipped with the tools to live a healthier way of life.
