The original well-being resort, Chiva Som has been improving guests’ long-term health for a quarter of a century. Having recently gone through a full refurbishment, the property always ensures it’s at the top of its game, offering the latest holistic and medical spa treatments.
Programmes are wholly bespoke and designed to change the way people live. Guests can choose general goals; detox, de-stress, weight-loss, fitness and yoga; or specifically target chronic medical or emotional issues and even post-cancer recovery. Although these aims are pre-selected, individual daily schedules are only decided after an in-depth health consultation upon arrival. Numerous inspirational visiting practitioners from around the world visit each year to share their knowledge.
Chiva Som’s ethos on nutrition is that it should be a source of pleasure as well as an important foundation of good health.
Their organic garden provides resident chefs with the freshest seasonal produce which is transformed into their award-winning Wellness Cuisine.

“What I love most about Chiva Som is that they really understand every person is unique; their dedicated health team take everything in to account when preparing a programme. There’s an astounding array of holistic and medical treatments and activities available, always using the latest methods and technology. The food is incredible and you can learn how to reproduce their dishes in a cookery class.”
