Taking a flight to an immersive wellness getaway is a great way to reset and rejuvenate. And with more airlines offering videos with seated yoga, mindful breathing and stretching on seatback entertainment systems, you can recharge before you’re even at your destination. One airline is going a step further by starting the wellness journey days or weeks before passengers even board the plane.
After self-improvement demands from its members worldwide, VistaJet, the first and only global business aviation company covering 187 countries and 96 percent of the world, just launched its comprehensive wellness program. The healthful and healing itineraries span four continents and more than 20 disciplines, including a 21-day spiritual expedition through Nepal; a biohacking retreat in Ibiza to promote longevity and cellular function; and learning the four pillars of Joali being (mind, skin, microbiome and energy) in the Maldives.
VistaJet’s experiences are meant to transform you long before you hit the yoga mat in India, check-in at the Swiss medi-spa, or feel the electromagnetic energy fields at Machu Picchu. Before their flight, passengers consult with a nutritionist on choosing optimal foods to eat beforehand, and specially curated in-flight meals to aid the wellness mission and goals once they arrive. During the flight, guests enjoy amenities like posture-improving, ergonomic seating on the Bombardier Global 7500; meditation and breathing apps; Jing teas; and products from brands including Guerlain’s Orchidée Imperial collection. After they deplane, wellness seekers can make use of post-flight tips, exercise and guidance for dealing with jet lag, thanks to guides created by physician Dr. Jordan Shlain and his team at Private Medical.
VistaJet’s preflight and in-flight wellness options are available for members. For those seeking a solution for a longer-term boost for their bodies, minds and souls, though, the company collaborates with the world’s leading tour operators and properties for experiential options around the globe, such as:
- A 21-day spiritual expedition in Nepal and Bhutan with Pelorus, with Buddhist prayer sessions, a helicopter ride to base camp at Mount Everest, hiking, monastery visits and traditional rituals for body health
- A full immersion journey in Qatar at Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, which combines the 1,000-year-old holistic wisdom of Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) with modern practices of fitness, physiotherapy, spa, aesthetic beauty and nutrition
- A trip to the forests and ice sheets in the northern Swedish Lapland to engage in all-natural detox and cold-water therapies. Guided by experts taught by Dutch motivational speaker Wim Hof, these practices are believed to reboot cells and develop performance endurance
- Self-discovery and private healing in Costa Rica at Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resorts Collection, a 50-casita resort with 180 acres of tropical forest, a coffee farm, equine stable, organic chef’s garden and a 20,000-square-foot holistic wellness center
