Buchinger Wilhemi is set to open in France’s Cote d’Azur in France.
Buchinger Wilhelmi, labelled the world’s ultimate health retreat, and the world-renowned pioneer of medically supervised fasting and longevity, is poised to redefine luxury wellness with the upcoming opening of its third flagship resort on the enchanting Côte d’Azur in Roquefort-les-Pins, France, scheduled for 2029.
Famous among luxury travellers seeking health transformation, the Buchinger Wilhelmi method combines science-backed fasting programs, integrative medicine, and personalised therapies, attracting guests from more than 70 countries with a repeat rate exceeding 70%.
The Vision and Setting
Nestled among 44 hectares of lush Mediterranean land, just 20km from Nice airport, the new Buchinger Wilhelmi resort will offer a private sanctuary of sophisticated wellness and open-air luxury.
Sustainability is central, designed by Gomis & Associés and Matteo Thun, the resort will feature photovoltaic panels, climate wells, and a car-free zone, earning BDM Gold Standard and Ecrains certification for environmental excellence.
This dedication aligns with the Buchinger philosophy—holistic health, longevity, and a close connection to nature—all set amid the glamour and cultural richness of the Côte d’Azur.
A Century of Fasting, Science, and Luxury
Founded in 1920 by Dr Otto Buchinger, who famously cured his own rheumatoid polyarthritis through fasting when conventional medicine failed, the Buchinger Wilhelmi approach blends deep scientific research with warm familial care and a sense of community.
Today, led by his great-grandson Leonard Wilhelmi, the clinics in Lake Constance (Germany) and Marbella (Spain) are celebrated beacons for research-driven wellness, collaborating with universities in Milan, Strasbourg, Berlin, and London—ensuring the French centre is built on decades of global expertise.
Wellness Offerings: Fasting, Medicine, and Beyond
The new resort will centre on Buchinger’s signature fasting programmes, each tailored and medically supervised for physical, mental, and spiritual rejuvenation.
Guests can choose bespoke stays from 10 to 21 nights, designed to achieve systemic reset, metabolic health, weight management, and longevity.
- Comprehensive medical and nutritional diagnostics
- Daily yoga, meditation, and mindful movement
- Holistic spa therapies and advanced sports medicine
- Access to eight on-site doctors plus nutritionists, therapists, and wellness coaches
- Biodynamic cuisine sourced from the resort’s own 1,500m² organic farm
The 3,400m² spa is set to impress with four pools (including a 25m outdoor pool, aquagym and Kneipp basin), and relaxation rooms with panoramic views of Côte d’Azur’s golden hills.
High-End Beauty Brands and Integrative Offerings
Though the Buchinger Wilhelmi name itself sets the standard for natural, science-backed wellness, the new resort is rumoured to feature partnerships with leading European and international beauty brands known for their innovation in skin health and anti-aging.
The focus will be on medical-grade facials, oxygen therapy, hydrotherapy, and signature treatments that combine botanical excellence with Buchinger’s cultivated self-care philosophy.
Cultural programming—concerts, art atelier workshops, and a sculpture park—further enrich the spirit of wellness, offering guests creative inspiration alongside physical renewal.

With 95 thoughtfully designed rooms, four private serviced villas, and a world-class medical centre, guests are assured privacy and individual attention in a lavish yet understated environment.
