Immersive Wellness
Following the pandemic, many people’s attitudes to health have changed, with well-being becoming a focal point, rather than an afterthought, in many people’s lives. The consequence is that many of us are after ‘deep dives’ into preventive care and a 360° approach to holistic practices as opposed to anything superficial.

Longevity is also a huge focus, with people wanting to remain fit and healthy for longer. Our extensive facilities and activities allow for every age group and differing fitness levels to get involved, versus being geared towards one particular generation.”
He continues: “At Albany, wellness means movement and science. Our approach is so much more than just going for a massage, and centres around a complete diagnostic programme, whether it is to check vitamin levels and nutrients through to blood tests. Our med-spa therapies are becoming increasingly popular, and we’ve noticed a trend towards guests seeking science-backed treatments, such as Ozone Therapy, that truly bring results to improve their immunity, energy and stamina. Looking ahead, longer-term longevity therapies will include stem cell injections for ageing frailty and treatments for damaged or worn joints. Other popular therapies include ice baths and cold plunge pools, combined with infrared, saunas and therapeutic massage, which have an abundance of benefits including decreased inflammation and stress, better sleep, and accelerated metabolism.”
