Immune boost trips: the new super high luxury destinations Richer and healthier.

Although I wouldn’t mind a little escapade to Capri or Biarritz, what I really want, right now, is an immune boost trip to one of these super high luxury destinations. In fact, the new darling destinations of rich and famous jet-setters promise more than just relaxation, they offer intense programmes that fuse high-tech medicine with traditional healing treatments to supercharge and boost your immune system. And, although pricey, the luxurious SPA clinics are booming, with health-conscious VIPs coming from all over the world to spend some days (and several thousand euros) at these wellness temples.

So, here are the most luxurious and effective immune boost destinations I want to go to ASAP.

Additionally, you can have IV infusions designed to strengthen your immune system with Vitamin C, amino acids and zinc, among others.

Villa Stéphanie, Germany

Situated next to the Black Forest, the iconic hotel, Spa and medical care centre is the right place if you want to boost your immune system in a truly luxurious and exclusive destination.

This wellness retreat’s holistic approach is combined with modern medical treatments as ozone therapy, immune-boosting IV infusions, colon therapy, and blood ozone therapy. You can choose from three programmes; the Immunity Booster, the Detox, and the Gut Health programme.
