Fly on a private jet with a wellness programme

 

Besides travelling in style, your wellness vacation can start even before you step on the tarmac. VistaJet has partnered with experts from every region of the world, operating in several disciplines.  You can have a pre-flight consultation on diet and flying routine so that the team’s nutritionist is able to advise and customise in-flight meals according to your health and lifestyle goals, dietary preferences and restrictions.

During the flight, the cabin is decked out with jet lag reducing technologies such as reduced cabin pressure and a quiet cabin with the option of closing off/ separating each living space for added privacy and lighting system that helps to synchronise your circadian rhythm to the time of your destination. There is a variety of in-flight apps, to herbal infusions, aromatherapy oils made by hand, hydrating skincare amenities and may other ways to help you feel refreshed when you arrive at your destination. Oh, and did we mention that they also provide Bowers & Wilkins noise cancelling headphones during the flight?

As the effects of the flight continue after landing, you can access post-flight wellness guides created by leading physician Dr Jordan Slain and his team at Private Medical, who provide tips and guidance for maintaining optimal well-being after flying. Guides include jet lag management and how to hydrate effectively after arrival.

If you have a specific wellness goal in mind (e.g. biohacking), then you can also choose a tailored itinerary through one of VistaJet’s trusted partners – which includes spending time and immersing in local communities, a full range of therapies and rituals or learning directly from the masters.

Go big on technology-led wellness

The new Wafaifo Resort Hoi An in Vietnam, which opens 1 September, has announced an ambitious three-stage health and spa rollout that will greatly enhance wellness, spa and medical options for tourists visiting Vietnam.

Guests at the new 134-room and suite lifestyle resort can use the Wellness at Wafaifo facility to receive a detailed health diagnostic report using epigenetic testing. In the process, hair follicles are analysed by an S-drive computer which connects to a laboratory in Germany. Within minutes, guests receive a detailed 30-plus page report which assesses 800 personal markers.

The resulting information and scores are presented in graph form and linked to reports on the guest’s gut, circulatory and immune systems. Items are classified as “priority”, “advisory”, or “consider”. A medical consultant at the centre will go through the results with the guest.

Beyond epigenetic testing, the new wellness centre in the resort will help guests and patients slow the ageing process, improve concentration, increase energy and stamina and assist recovery from jet lag and stress by offering sessions in AirPod hyperbaric chambers. Exposure in the chambers to heightened levels of oxygen and hydrogen nurtures every healing process in the body.

Infrared saunas will help lower blood pressure and help detoxification and weight loss. Hygienic, electronically controlled ice baths will also reduce blood pressure, improve circulation, flush toxins and reduce inflammation and swelling.

Guests can also benefit from a Nu Calm sleep and restoration experience in their room by using a headset, eye mask and specially-designed ‘anti-gravity’ chair to induce a meditative state of wellbeing and deep relaxation.

On opening in September, Wellness at Wafaifo will have the most advanced gym in the Unesco heritage city of Hoi An. Personal fitness consultants, trained on the Precor gym equipment used in the centre, will help guests achieve maximum benefits.

In addition to world-class gym equipment and technology-led health diagnostics and interventions, Wafaifo Resort has announced a partnership with Kerstin Florian for body treatments and facials, and with Margaret Dabbs of London for luxury manicures and pedicures.

The resort is putting together a team of doctors, nurses, healers and trainers to build personalised wellness programmes for each individual using the facility.
