This is the kind of bootcamp we’re willing to roll out of bed for. And, if you’re a feeling less than sprightly, the idea of jetting off on holiday and coming back looking and feeling younger is one that’s bound to pique your interest too.

At La Réserve Spa Ramatuelle, a French hilltop resort overlooking the Mediterranean, a ‘better ageing bootcamp’ has lured in travellers hoping to seize the day, and potentially the ageing process.

Based on programs from the Anti-Ageing Centre at the Clinque de Cenolier in Switzerland, the personalised Nescens Better Ageing Bootcamp centres on spa treatments, exercise and tailored, balanced Mediterranean meals – over a period of three to six days. A Michelin-starred chef, Erin Canino, is behind these nutritious dishes, and uses freshly plucked produce from the resort’s garden to create his culinary fare.

Following a full-body check-up by a consulting physician, guests undergo a personalised ‘muscular awakening session’, guided Nordic nature walks, optional sea bathing, balneotherapy (a mineral springs treatment), therapeutic wraps, jet showers, facials, better-ageing massages, poolside rests and meals at the on-site La Voile restaurant.

The setting for the ‘better ageing bootcamp’ also presents its guests with an 11,000 square-foot spa and 23 spacious rooms and suites, all with terraces or private gardens, and those all-important sea views. At best? You go home looking and feeling younger. At worst? You endure a relaxing holiday just outside of St Tropez. It might just be worth the risk of finding out.
