Swiss sleep courses and PCOS-relieving breaks: how wellness retreats went bespoke

Picture the scene: you’ve just arrived at one of Europe’s most luxurious and exclusive health retreats. Guests are swanning around in robes and a Michelin-starred chef is busy preparing dinner with fresh, local ingredients. You’ve swapped the sweat of the Tube for a cedarwood sauna session and the only to-dos on your list for today are acupuncture, yoga and perhaps a soak in a hot tub overlooking the stunning Mediterranean hills.

But there’s a twist. You’re not just on this high-end escape to unwind and relax, you’re here to relieve the symptoms that have been plaguing your day-to-day for the last 12 months. Perhaps it’s your PCOS or your overactive thyroid. Perhaps it’s your menopause symptoms or your cortisol levels.
