Recharge your mind, body and soul in the stunning Swiss Alps

Research has proven that experiences provide us with more happiness and fulfilment in the long term when compared with material goods. This is perhaps why modern travellers are increasingly seeking out luxury experiences over expensive purchases, and why the health and wellness industry has grown substantially over the last few years.

Therefore, instead of splashing out on that designer handbag or new wide-screen, curved, bendy, flying TV, why not embark on an experience that will benefit your mind, body and spirit, and perhaps with glorious views of the Alps thrown in for good measure? Luckily for you, the luxurious Alpina Gstaad in the Swiss Alps has today announced the launch of its latest initiative at its Six Senses Spa. Available from June 3, the Six Senses Integrated Wellness initiative offers guests staying at the hotel the opportunity to improve wellbeing and enhance their lives through nutrition, sleep, yoga, movement, meditation, mindfulness and more.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Swiss mountains, the initiative brings together the latest technology and in-house expertise to create personalised wellness programmes, beginning with a wellness screening to analyse key areas of health, including body composition, metabolism, oxygen distribution, heart function and circulation. This information, together with in-depth discussion about the guest’s lifestyle, concerns and personal goals, allows the wellness expert to tailor-make a programme for the individual to achieve optimal results. The personalised schedule includes one spa treatment and one wellness activity per day, nutritional advice, as well as constant guidance from a Six Senses wellness expert at the hotel.

Whether its concerns around digestion, weight loss, elimination of toxins, weakened immune system, stress relief or muscle toning, the programme claims to have the personalised treatments and protocols needed. At the end of their stay, guests will receive a personal consultation to analyse the results of their treatments and to advise on how they can continue to focus on their health once at home. Prices for the tailor made rejuvenation package start from 1,900 CHF (approx. £1,413) per guest for a three night package, based on two sharing a Deluxe Room on bed and breakfast basis.

As health and wellness is moving more and more into the awareness of the modern traveller, personal transformative experiences are becoming highly valued, and where better that to reinvigorate yourself than at a contemporary luxury hotel surrounded by stunning scenery, and with a wellness programme custom-made just for you. Can you think of a more satisfying way to spend your hard-earned cash?
