RAKxa promises tailored wellness programmes that fuse science-led technology with holistic therapies and anti-inflammatory cuisine. Olivia Palamountain reports
“Fully integrative” wellness and medical retreat RAKxa will open this December in Bangkok. It will deliver tailored wellness programmes designed by certified medical doctors combining advanced medical treatments with holistic therapies.
The first of its kind in Thailand, RAKxa promises a “transformative experience” through personalised three- to 14-day programmes based on real results using “cutting-edge technology”.
The opening of RAKxa typifies the current appetite for Hyper Health, Extreme Wellness and Longevity clinics, facilities and treatments, now amplified more than ever before due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
A series of ten different programmes are on offer, each focused on a different health goal. These include gut health, body/facial, and de-stressing solutions – plus immunity boosting, 2020’s hottest health trend.
Guests begin the RAKxa experience at home with a pre-arrival questionnaire to help the team establish long-term health goals and tailor the programme accordingly.
The medical side of things comes care of the VitalLife Scientific Wellness Clinic (a subsidiary company of the Bumrungrad International Hospital). It provides DNA tests, epigenetics, gut microbiome and inflammation analysis. The clinic will also offer light therapy, IV nutrient therapy, CryoSauna, infrared sauna and hormone replacement therapy.
Each day will be packed with a combination of these specialised holistic and scientific treatments along with a bespoke diet plan and activity schedule for optimum results.
Fuelling the experience is cuisine from RAKxa’s two restaurants – Unam and Ukhao – each guided by an “anti-inflammatory” philosophy and centred on local, seasonal and sustainable ingredients. Cooking classes and organic food lectures are also on the menu.
