From Swiss health clinic to luxury hotel spa and cosmeceutical specialist, Nescens is the byword for exceptional wellbeing
To find the right approach to nurturing health and wellbeing – one that is backed by evidence-based research and is tailored to individual needs – is an almost overwhelming challenge, even for the most enlightened. Thankfully, Nescens, a revolutionary regenerative wellness concept centred around a groundbreaking medical and scientific community in Switzerland, has the solution. “From the moment a guest gets in touch with us, our approach is completely bespoke and holistic,” says the brand’s Managing Director, Claudia Schwarze.
At the heart of the multifaceted organisation is Clinique Nescens, an integrative health clinic that combines contemporary design and generous hospitality with cutting-edge technology, preventative and functional medicine and holistic therapies. Located on the Genolier medical campus, just 30 minutes from Geneva, it is surrounded by a breathtaking landscape with forest, lake and mountain views, making it the perfect place for a retreat. But a stay here is beyond wellness.
Nescens is part of the renowned Michel Reybier Hospitality group and is aligned with the Swiss Medical Network, a group of private hospitals and health clinics, the largest of which shares a site with Clinique Nescens. This partnership offers guests access to some of Europe’s leading scientists, healthcare technologies and medical practitioners, spanning conventional, complementary, functional, traditional and alternative medical systems. The Nescens team brings its expertise to each guest, delivering highly personalised diagnostic services, treatment programmes and check-ups.
“Everyone is unique, right down to a cellular and metabolic level, so we start by understanding our guests – both mentally and physically – and from there we can develop a range of services for them,” says Claudia. This encompasses anything from a one-day package of cutting-edge screening, diagnostics and health checks through to week-long programmes tailored around detox, weight loss, longevity, revitalisation, performance improvement and aesthetic refinement. The signature La Cure programme is a seven-day strategy configured to each guest, with the aim of ensuring they become revitalised, relaxed and recharged. “Throughout their stay, guests have access to the very best medical and holistic teams, in elegant surroundings, accompanied by an impeccable level of hospitality.”
Nescens has a group of spas within the prestigious Michel Reybier hotels that are located across Switzerland and France. These exclusive wellness retreats enable guests to access signature treatments, activities and nutrition developed by the experts at Clinique Nescens, including a range of scientifically formulated cosmeceuticals. Developed by the founder, Professor Jacques Proust, a leading anti-ageing specialist, they include two hero products: a Zombie Cell Clearing Serum and a Stem Cell Activator Serum, both perennially popular with clinic and spa guests alike and available through the brand’s online store. “Like Clinique Nescens, our spas are exceptional settings devoted to health and wellbeing. The vast knowledge and experience we acquire at the clinic are condensed into a selection of exceptional programmes that have been carefully optimised for hotel guests,” says Claudia.
Nescens is as in tune with its environment as it is with its guests. Locally sourced traceable and seasonal menus, designed to detox and revitalise, are served in the clinic’s gourmet restaurant, from which there are panoramic views of Lake Geneva, Mont Blanc and the beautiful, forested countryside around the clinic, where guests are encouraged to stroll and exercise. It is all part of a desire to create unique and refined experiences that go beyond mere posturing in truly distinctive and luxurious surroundings.
