Ocean Residences Development Ltd. and Chenot (HC International S.A.) have agreed a partnership to offer the very best in 21st century health and wellness on board M/Y NJORD, the ultimate private residential community at sea.
M/Y NJORD is passionate about providing the very best services to their discerning international residents, all of whom have a desire for health and wellness, discovery, philanthropy and adventure – and, with nearly 50 years of sustained scientific innovation behind it, Chenot is a natural choice.
Chenot will operate from M/Y NJORD, offering a world-class medical spa facility, alongside their extensive health and wellness programmes. Their services include transformative wellbeing treatments, individually tailored holistic routines and preventative therapies, all based on the Chenot Method®. Located on Deck 10 with stunning open-ended panoramic views, this 930 sq m facility is set within the signature Chenot interiors of modern understated luxury. In addition to the spa and wellness facilities, the yacht has a fully equipped and professionally staffed medical centre on Deck 3.
Dr. George Gaitanos, Chenot’s Chief Operating and Scientific Officer, explains: “Our wellbeing is a non-negotiable necessity to life and no longer optional, especially while travelling extensively and for a long time. This partnership will offer a transformational experience integrating health with wellbeing resulting in an extraordinary ‘vitality to life.’
“It is this vitality that provides the full strength of energy and harmony in life that must be reflected within us on a daily basis. Our partnership with M/Y NJORD provides residents and their families, friends and guests access to something that is beyond the world of spas. It is exclusive, immersive and most importantly, a complete and distinct experience. The science behind Chenot, combined with the services and lifestyle on the superyacht, will lead to guests experiencing the absolute,” concludes Dr. Gaitanos.
Residents will be able to embark on their wellness routine while travelling, devoting important time to their health with bespoke holistic, dietary and physical treatments complemented by natural therapies to detox, de-stress, re-energise, reset and rebalance both body and mind. As Henri Chenot himself, founder of the Chenot Group has always believed: “You need to live in harmony with yourself to be in good health.”
The affiliation between M/Y NJORD and Chenot will offer residents an unprecedented on-board wellness destination, setting a new standard with treatments combined with an extraordinary level of personalised care and service, all delivered while the superyacht sails to some of the most exquisite locations across the globe.
“There is clearly a growing demand for a private, bespoke yachting lifestyle where residents, their families and guests can travel in a safe and healthy environment,” says COO of Ocean Residences Development, Alain Gruber. “M/Y NJORD will be very appealing to those who share a sense of adventure, and desire personal enrichment and life-changing experiences. The partnership with Chenot will give our residents the assurance of receiving treatments based on profound scientific research at every level.”
Gruber adds: “We are delighted to be partnering with this outstanding brand, as they share our philosophy and the highest standards of service. Our residents will benefit from their unrivalled expertise as industry leaders with nearly 50 years of experience in the medical spa, health and wellness field.”
