25 May21067 Committed to helping and inspiring people to live a healthier, longer and better life, Clinique La Prairie believes in a holistic and preventive approach to health. Nestled on a verdant plot in Montreux, Switzerland, the property is home to 38 rooms and suites, boasting breath-taking views of the Alps and Lake Geneva, along with a plethora of superior medical facilities. LUXlife magazine has recognised Clinique La Prairie as Most Outstanding Luxury Spa Clinic 2021 – Switzerland, so we learn more about the company and its secrets to living a fuller life. Embracing its locale, which has long been considered as a sublime sanctum where time moves at a slowed pace, Clinique La Prairie invites guests to enjoy peace of mind while uncovering the retreat’s storied medical secrets. Providing a results- driven approach, while enveloped in all the luxuries the mind could fathom, this ultra-exclusive establishment is the only one of its kind in the world. In 1931, Dr Paul Niehans pioneered cellular therapy on these very grounds, and Clinique La Prairie has built on his legacy, continuing his research and methodologies. The famed Revitalisation programme – which is based on Niehans’ discoveries – promotes vitality through enhancing the immune system and slowing down the ageing process, and it is one of several programmes offered at Clinique La Prairie. From Master Detox, Weight Loss, Rebalancing, and Better Sleep, to Advanced Aesthetic Beauty, Immunity Boost, and Check-up, the facility has a wide range of programmes on offer which focus on Clinique La Prairie’s four pillars: medical, wellbeing, nutrition and movement. Through intimate and bespoke treatments that take guests’ individual genetic compositions into account, Clinique La Prairie provides an all-encompassing health and wellness service. The holistic approach not only focuses on physical health, but works to ensure that the mind is healthy too, combining evidence-based, scientifically guided and aesthetically conscious medicine with unique wellbeing, nutrition and exercise plans. The award-winning wellness centre – which has been lauded as Switzerland’s Best Wellness Retreat for 2020 by the World Spa Awards as well as the Condé Nast Traveller’s Spa Award for Most Progressive Clinic in 2018 – is comprised of a trio of buildings including a Medical Centre home to 50 specialists in all aspects of medicine and cosmetic surgery. Le Château and La Résidence house the luxury rooms and suites, as well as the award-wining spa. PioneeringWellness and Health Ambience also affects state of mind and thus healing, so the buildings’ interiors bring tranquillity and elegance to the forefront with understated and airy décor featuring calming shades of yellow, white and green. Service at the facility is impeccable too, with an average of five staff members for every guest. Italian chef, Sara Bussetti leads the kitchen, which employs a mostly vegan menu, transforming what are often considered mundane plant products into true gastronomic delights, which are both delicious and nutritious. Meanwhile, the unprecedented period of the pandemic is leaving its mark and making people all the more aware that “health is our true wealth”. People increasingly seek to travel for wellness, looking for medical assessments and holistic wellness which will help in keeping internal defences strong, in rebuilding immunity, in searching for mind-body balance, or overall longevity. This goes with a growing demand for ultra- personalisation, that is the core of Clinique La Prairie’s experiences. In terms of the future, Clinique La Prairie has exciting plans ahead of it. Its vision is to grow to new places and introduce products while always being consistent with its identity and the experience it creates. Its holistic philosophy is now actively developing into a unique health journey. Its aim is to open more Clinique La Prairie hubs and medical spas in cities around the world so that international clients can continue their journey closer to home. After Madrid and a commercial office in Shanghai, it opened an Aesthetics and Medical Spa at The St. Regis Bangkok a couple of months ago, and another project in the Middle East will be unveiled in the coming months. Under the same roof, these establishments are to offer medical, aesthetics and/or wellness services that have always been part of the company’s quest for longevity. An essential part of this new customer journey is also to offer specific health technologies that clients can bring home or that they can buy all year long. This is also why the company launched its new range of nutritional supplements, Holistic Health. Ultimately, the company strives to remain true to itself and to its exclusive guests: serving them with the best therapies, technologies, expertise, services and science they can possibly get, continuing to be a force for a good change in health and wellbeing.
