Welcome to Clinique La Prairie Hotel, a haven of wellness and luxury nestled in the serene landscape of a secluded area, offering a unique retreat for those committed to an immersive health and wellness regimen. La Prairie isn’t just a hotel; it’s a destination focused on enhancing your well-being through meticulously designed programs such as Detox, Revitalization, Healthy Weight, Aesthetics, Epi/Genetics, and Medical treatments.

What We Love
From the moment you step inside, La Prairie envelopes you in a cocoon of sophisticated design and unparalleled comfort. The rooms whisper stories of local heritage through their décor, offering expansive views that promise to steal your breath away. Dining at La Prairie is not just eating; it’s an adventure. With ingredients sourced from the hotel’s organic gardens, every dish serves as a testament to the chef’s dedication to flavor and sustainability. The Michelin-starred restaurant, perched overlooking the ocean, offers not just meals but memories. The spa and wellness center at La Prairie is a haven of rejuvenation. Offering a plethora of treatments that blend ancient traditions with modern science, the spa ensures every visitor leaves feeling revitalized and ready to conquer the world.
What We Don’t Love
While La Prairie excels in creating a sanctuary for wellness, it is important to note that its focus is intensively on health and performance programs, specifically detox. This means that for guests not participating in one of the structured programs such as Detox, Revitalization, Healthy Weight, Aesthetics, Epi/Genetics, or Medical treatments, the experience might not fully meet their expectations. These programs are what La Prairie specializes in, and they are integral to the transformative experiences we offer. Additionally, the hotel’s secluded location, while perfect for privacy and uninterrupted wellness retreats, does result in a longer journey from the airport. This travel, however, can be seen as the first step in disconnecting from the outside world and preparing for the rejuvenating experience that awaits at La Prairie.
Wellness & Spa
The Wellness Center at La Prairie is a temple of health and well-being. Equipped with cutting-edge gym facilities, guests can enjoy bespoke fitness programs under the guidance of expert trainers. The spa, an oasis of calm, offers a wide array of treatments from across the globe – think Balinese massages, Scandinavian saunas, and Turkish hammam sessions, each designed to nurture the soul and body. The focus on holistic wellness, coupled with the serene surroundings, makes for an unbeatable retreat.

Dining and Cuisine
The dining experience at La Prairie’s Seeds restaurant, under the skilled direction of Chef David Alessandria, exemplifies a profound commitment to wellness and culinary excellence.

Location and Accessibility
La Prairie’s remote setting offers unmatched tranquility, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. However, this seclusion means that access requires a bit more effort. The nearest town and local amenities are a short drive away, providing a nice balance between isolation and access to local culture. While Uber and other ride-sharing services are available in the area, for a seamless experience we recommend utilizing local chauffeur services for trips to and from the hotel. These services offer a comfortable, reliable, and stylish way to explore the surrounding areas without the hassle of navigating on your own.
