Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessments

Guests will start their wellness journey with a series of diagnostic assessments designed to understand their individual needs. These comprehensive diagnostics are performed by expert professionals, evaluating a significant range of physiological parameters known as Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers®, which assess the impact of lifestyle on the body’s vitality and aging process. The biomarkers® include vascular age assessment (arterial stiffness evaluation), body toxicity (mineral and heavy metal analysis), skin collagen density (ultrasound evaluation), body composition analysis, emotional stress (heart rate variability analysis), and endurance (cardiorespiratory fitness evaluation).

Tailored Programs

Following the diagnostic assessments, a sophisticated range of treatments and menus will be designed to meet each guest's needs. These treatments work synergistically to stimulate the body’s detox processes, enhance vitality, activate energy channels, and restore physiological balance. Guests can choose a comprehensive week-long program, shorter experiences that integrate seamlessly into their vacation, or individual treatments.

The advanced detoxification program, lasting a week, deeply cleanses and detoxifies the body, serving as a cornerstone of Chenot’s philosophy. The program includes advanced diagnostic assessments based on Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers®, medical and nutritional consultations, a plant-based diet plan, targeted energy-stimulating massages, bio-energetic treatments, hydro-aromatherapy, mud wraps, and hydrotherapy. Following the advanced detox program, guests can opt for a basic follow-up detox program, lasting a week, available within six months to maintain results.

For guests seeking both wellness and relaxation, a variety of programs are available, including the Stress Relief and Rejuvenation Program (four days/five nights) to restore the body’s natural balance, a three-day detox program ideal for regular seasonal cleanses, a Spa Deluxe weekend experience (two days) featuring multiple massages and aromatherapy treatments, and a three-day fitness program to strengthen the body and help guests achieve peak physical performance.

Espace Chenot Treatments

Espace Chenot at One&Only Portonovi spans 4,000 square meters and features a range of state-of-the-art facilities, including 28 treatment rooms. The spa offers a comprehensive suite of targeted treatments designed by skilled experts, ranging from sound therapy for nerve relaxation, acupuncture, ozone therapy, intravenous nutrient therapy, to colon hydrotherapy. The diagnostic assessments and treatments are divided into six different sections: medical, human performance, medical and cosmetic, aesthetic treatments, hydrotherapy, and sports and fitness.

With the advanced diagnostics offered by Chenot, guests will uncover the reasons behind their skin aging, allowing them to chart new paths to improve body performance and enhance their well-being. Following this initial consultative phase, guests will receive a personalized program including dietary recommendations, detox menus, fitness programs, targeted spa treatments, stress-relief activities, and more. These activities are designed to stimulate the body’s detox processes, address health issues, and regenerate cells, leading to increased energy and vitality. The innovative Chenot approach combines the principles of traditional Chinese medicine with the latest scientific advancements in medical technology and diagnostic techniques.

Dining Options

Nutrition is a cornerstone of the Chenot® approach, and guests at One&Only Portonovi will be able to follow a carefully designed diet aligned with their wellness programs. The detox diet, medically supervised, is a low-calorie nutritional program designed to slow down aging, stimulate metabolic efficiency, and enhance the body’s detox and repair mechanisms. In contrast, the Biolight diet is a balanced daily nutritional program providing nutrients from a wide range of delicious foods, ideal for those who wish to regain energy levels, improve metabolism, and incorporate healthy eating into their lifestyle. Scientifically developed by Chenot, the detox and Biolight diets are based on extensive research into ingredients, nutrition, and cooking methods, and will be available at La Veranda restaurant for guests following their personalized Chenot program.
