Cool-Climate Wellness Escapes for Summer Detoxing
Sometimes the stillness you’ve been craving doesn’t live in the sun.
For those seeking to reset without the intensity of heat or crowds, we look north and south. These destinations offer quiet, restorative luxury through elemental immersion, longevity treatments, and design-led wellness that doesn’t need to shout. Cool-climate escapes aren’t just refreshing; they’re regenerative.
Here’s a glimpse into four destinations where we craft bespoke wellness journeys one retreat at a time.
Iceland – The Retreat at Blue Lagoon
Surrounded by black lava fields and the mineral-rich waters of Iceland’s iconic lagoon, this retreat is part otherworldly spa, part architectural masterpiece. Guests have access to a subterranean spa, daily in-water rituals, and skincare treatments developed from the lagoon’s geothermal bioactive elements. It’s a place where silence echoes and wellness feels elemental.
Switzerland – Chenot Palace Weggis
Perched on Lake Lucerne, this palace of precision wellness is rooted in the Chenot Method, a science-backed, personalized approach to detoxing and performance. Each stay is custom-built with diagnostics, medical-grade therapies, and longevity-focused programming. This is where peak vitality is measured and refined, down to the cellular level.
New Zealand – Aro Ha, Glenorchy
Hidden near Queenstown, Aro Ha blends deep sustainability with next-level wellness. Daily guided hikes, mindfulness sessions, and plant-based cuisine are framed by glacier-fed lakes and untouched alpine wilderness. This is a retreat where luxury and nature align quietly, deliberately, and powerfully.
Canada – Kananaskis Nordic Spa
Just outside Calgary, this forest-framed spa offers a full hydrotherapy circuit that includes cedar saunas, hot pools, cold plunges, and mountain air that feels almost medicinal. Whether for a day or a weekend, it's an invitation to slow down in high-altitude stillness with just enough ruggedness to keep it grounding.
These aren’t just “spa days” with a view. They’re immersive, climate-conscious sanctuaries built for the traveler who values presence, longevity, and the kind of wellness that doesn’t rely on trends. From private chalet rentals on the Alps to tailored wellness retreats in New Zealand, we design experiences that restore both body and mind.
