A BLUE ZONES RETREAT at the world-renowned ila Only Spa at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel in Manhattan
Be part of an immersive exploration of longevity inspired by the groundbreaking Blue Zones® research and the nine lifestyle principles that help people live better, longer.
This one-of-a-kind, exclusive retreat blends evidence-based practices, traditional wellness modalities, and cutting-edge longevity technology—inviting you to recharge, reconnect, and lay a foundation for vibrant living well into the future.
Inspired by the Blue Zones
Blue zones are regions around the world—like Okinawa, Japan and Sardinia, Italy—where people live exceptionally long, healthy lives. Researchers found that these communities share common lifestyle habits that naturally support well-being, such as strong social ties, daily movement, plant-forward eating, and a deep sense of purpose. Our retreat distills these principles into a nourishing city experience, offering guests a chance to slow down, reconnect, and explore the building blocks of a vibrant, balanced life—right here in New York.

- Workshops led by Blue Zones facilitator Celine Vadam, translating science into daily habits you can bring home.
- Welcome Reception to connect with fellow participants over Blue Zones-inspired bites and beverages.
