Chenot: health retreats and detox programmes since 1970

Chenot is an international group of wellness centres and health retreats operating since 1970. Its offering is built around the Chenot Method®, an approach that combines precision medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, luxury hospitality and treatments based on scientific evidence. The company maintains that ageing is a dynamic process that can be guided, slowed and improved, and states that its programmes aim to optimise health and slow down or even reverse biological ageing.

Detox and longevity programmes

The programme portfolio includes several lines geared towards specific goals:

• Advanced Detox: the signature programme, aimed at deep purification and detoxification of the body, with the goal of eliminating toxins, increasing vitality, resetting energy levels and rebalancing physiology. Price listed on the site: CHF 5,500.
• Recover & Energise: designed to reduce chronic stress and fatigue and restore optimal energy levels. Price listed: CHF 6,400.
• Prevention & Ageing Well: presented as the most intense programme for health and longevity, it combines the signature detox with high-impact rejuvenation to delay the onset of biological ageing. Price listed: CHF 7,100.
• Sleep Cycles: seeks to restore natural sleep rhythms and accelerate recovery through treatments scheduled according to the guest's chronotype, building on the Recover & Energise programme. Price listed: CHF 7,960.

In Italy, the Chenot Espace L'Albereta centre also offers the Cleanse & Rebalance, De-Stress & Re-Charge and Fitness Boost programmes.

Destinations and types of location

The company distinguishes three destination formats. Chenot Palace locations are the flagships: health retreats conceived specifically to deliver immersive detox programmes that regenerate the body at a cellular level. Chenot Espace, integrated into hotels and resorts, offer a more flexible approach to the method, in settings geared towards leisure and family. Chenot Spa combine local inspiration and culture with selected treatments as an introduction to wellness.

The confirmed locations are Chenot Palace Weggis (Switzerland), Chenot Palace Gabala (Azerbaijan), Chenot Espace L'Albereta (Italy), Chenot Espace Portonovi (Montenegro) and Chenot Spa Selman Marrakech (Morocco).

Treatments and departments

The centres organise their treatment offering into specialised departments: Medical Department, Aesthetic Department, Human Performance Department, Hydrotherapy Department, Medical Aesthetic Department and Sports & Fitness Department. This structure is repeated across the different destinations, with variations depending on the type of location.

Products and publications

Chenot sells products designed to prolong the results of its treatments and support healthy habits outside the retreats. The lines include Chenot Cosmeceuticals, with items such as Face Cream, Face Cream Men, Eye Contour Cream, Face Serum and Sun Drop SPF 50; Chenot Functional Line; Chenot Herbal Teas; and the 'Detox at Home' Cookbook. The company also publishes The Chenot Podcast and The Chenot Magazine, with content on longevity, nutrition and cellular science.

Awards and scientific activity

The site highlights that Chenot's detox programme has been recognised as World's Best Detox Programme 2026 for the sixth year in a row, an accolade the company links to clinical research on the Chenot Method®. Chief Operating and Scientific Officer Dr. George Gaitanos is the figure who publicly explains the method and its synergy with the Chenot Diet®.
