Wealthy travelers are opting for “longevity vacations” blending traditional relaxation with advanced medical treatments.

These vacations include expensive therapies like vitamin IV drips and ozone therapy, seeking to extend health and longevity. Resorts and wellness centers offer a variety of treatments from biological age testing and stem-cell therapy, with some packages costing tens of thousands. 

While some treatments offer short-term benefits like reduced stress, medical experts advise caution. They warn that many offerings aren’t FDA-approved and could pose health risks, suggesting that the benefits may often be no more than a placebo effect.

An enthusiast: “You’re making investments in your wellness, your health, your body.”
