About this program
Advanced Detox is the best-selling program of Chenot. It's probably the most famous detox protocol in the world. It is a 7 nights and 6 days program, with medical consultations, diagnostics, the famous Chenot phyto-mud wraps and hydro-jet treatments, hydro-aroma protocols and detox massages with cupping, which induce a deep cleansing. The program also includes targeted TCM bioenergetic treatments.
Guests following the Advanced Detox program feel lighter, stronger, and really rejuvenated. Their skin is glowing. Guests are smiling. This is thanks to a profound metabolic reset and improved energy at all levels.
It is ideal to follow this program once or twice a year. Of course, it is also highly recommended to integrate the lifestyle habits presented by the various Chenot practitioners during the program. Many clients find these healthy habits relatively easy to implement back home.
Chenot includes an Immune Optimisation module with any Detox program at no extra cost, for bookings made between 1 July and 31 December 2026 for stays between 1 September and 31 December 2026, under booking code IMMUNE26. The module adds a gut microbiome check, an immune blood panel, two intermittent hypoxia and hyperoxia sessions, three intravenous vitamin therapies and the Chenot diet enriched with fermented food.

About this program
Body Insights & Optimisation is a health check-up program, which was launched in 2025 and is only available at Chenot Palace Weggis for now. It was designed for clients wanting data‑driven insights into their health, without a full detox cycle.
The Body Insights & Optimisation program quickly became the 3rd best selling program of Chenot. Clients love its state‑of‑the‑art diagnostics, the in-depth preventive health consultations, and the famous energising treatments and massages (which are similar to the ones in the other Chenot programs).
Compared to 1-day medical check-ups offered by urban clinics such as Neko Health, ZOĪ, YEARS or Fountain Life, this Chenot program provides a much deeper diagnostic of how daily choices impact health and performance in the long run: each guest spends extended time with expert physicians and practitioners to determine key lifestyle adjustments to integrate for optimal health and performance.

About this program
Recover & Energise is the second best-selling program of Chenot. It is designed to radically reduce chronic stress, restore sleep and mood, and regain optimal energy - in just 7 nights.
It was built on the same foundations as the Advanced Detox program, but with adaptations specifically aimed at stress management. In particular, it integrates powerful neuro‑acoustic deep relaxation, HRV biofeedback self‑training and whole‑body photobiomodulation
The result of the Recover & Energise program is autonomic recalibration with improved stress resilience, and a huge quantity of energy available again.
Prevention & Ageing Well
Prevention & Ageing Well is Chenot’s most advanced anti-ageing program, and one of the most effective medical longevity program in the world to date.

The details
Chenot Palace Weggis in full
The property, the method, the food, the place
The property
Chenot Palace Weggis is primarily known for being one of the world's best detox and wellness clinics. It is located in the beautiful and very chic small town of Weggis on the shores of Lake Lucerne. The area is called the "French Riviera" of Switzerland, because the climate is so nice all year round.
Chenot Palace Weggis is open all year round.
The Chenot Method
At Chenot, the programs follow the Chenot Method, a proprietary medical wellness system developed over nearly 50 years of research.
Henri Chenot designed the foundations of the Chenot Method in a clinic in Cannes in 1974, before continuing the research for many years in Merano (first shortly at Villa Eden, then at Palace Merano). Until finally, Chenot created its own facility, in Switzerland. Over the years, many professional athletes and celebrities have adopted the Chenot Method.
Most of the Chenot programs focus on resetting and rejuvenating the body at the cellular level through a holistic approach combining diagnostics, detox and preventive medicine. These programs include the famous Chenot Diet, which is a fasting-mimicking diet with around 850 calories per day.
Chenot also offers a next-generation medical check-up program, which includes some the most advanced diagnostics available to date, and truly insightful consultations focused on preventive health and longevity.
Chenot diet
The cuisine at Chenot is - of course - super healthy, but also really beautiful and delicious: it's a real pleasure to eat at Chenot Palace Weggis, although in relatively small quantities for the programs which focus on detox. The chef Ettore Moliteo has an incredible talent to make plant-based meals with detox food which are so amazing.
No caffeine or alcohol is served at Chenot Palace Weggis.
Luxury facilities
Chenot Palace Weggis was opened in 2020, and is still in 2026 one of the most advanced, comfortable and cosy wellness clinics in the world. The rooms and suites are on the same level as the best luxury hotels of the world.
The 5000 sqm medical spa area is equipped with the latest medical and wellness equipment. The team of 100+ doctors, health professionals and wellness practitioners are each excellent in their area of expertise, and collaborate to look at each guest's health from a 360° standpoint.
Chenot Palace Weggis has a total of 97 keys, including 74 rooms and 23 suites. And the occupancy is usually quite high. But it does not feel too big, or too crowded, thanks to the unparalleled level of care of the teams.

Booking policy
Once a reservation offer for a stay at Chenot Palace Weggis is sent, Chenot requires a 100% prepayment for the program and accommodation, to confirm the booking. Prepayment is done in CHF. It can be done by card payment or by bank transfer. At check-out, if there are pending charges (additional treatments, etc.), Chenot also accepts payments in EUR, GBP and USD. On the day the invoice is issued, the respective daily exchange rate with CHF applies, and an additional processing fee is charged. Chenot Palace Weggis only takes guests who are following a Chenot program, and an overnight stay for any other purpose, or shorter than 7 nights, is not permitted. Most programs run 7 nights. Body Insights & Optimisation is the exception at 5 nights.

The reservation can be cancelled at no charge up to 14 days before arrival.

Guests aged 16 to 18 can follow the programmes when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Frequently asked questions
11 answers
Is Chenot a life-changing cure?
Apart from the "Body Insights & Optimisation" programme, the programmes at Chenot are meant to detox your body (and mind) in the most efficient manner. This, in itself, is not always a pleasant experience (headaches, sleep disruption, mood swings ...), although you feel much greater, and rejuvenated, after the programme. A Chenot programme is a radical anti-ageing cure, where you don't just get rid of toxins, but also of physical and emotional blockages. All the more than Chenot also optimised the Method to be able to offer this really in-depth detox in just 7 nights and 6 days. This is hard, to say the least. Most of the other equivalent detox programmes which I have tested take 10 or 14 days in Europe (where guests are always in a rush) and 21 days in India and Asia. Offering such a profound detox in just 7 nights is incredibly efficient. For the guests who have more time, Chenot programmes can be extended, up to 14 nights. Contact me if you wish to know more. So, Chenot is truly life-changing. It's one of the fastest ways to transition to a healthy lifestyle. But because it's so fast and efficient, don't be surprised if your week at Chenot also makes you "feel" how much you had to release all these years.
What sets Chenot Palace Weggis apart?
Compared to other clinics which also deliver the best preventive health and medical wellness programmes, the quality of the guest experience at Chenot stands out. Having tested Chenot Palace Weggis myself several times, I believe this is essentially thanks to the teams, in particular the non-medical ones: the restaurant staff, the reception team, the housekeeping. Don't get me wrong, everything is really great at Chenot, I am just trying to emphasise that this level of care is unbelievable, in luxury wellness clinics but also in ultra luxury hospitality. Indeed the Chenot teams truly care for your well-being, and as a result, you truly feel pampered and supported during the good and less good moments of a detox programme.
What are the prices like at Chenot Palace Weggis?
At Chenot, the prices are the same all year round. You have to sleep at Chenot, and the rooms and the programmes are priced separately. The starting price for Chenot is the Advanced Detox programme with a Nest Room for 7 nights, which comes to from CHF 8,370. For this price, everything is included from when you check in, until when you check out. Some guests choose additional diagnostics and spa treatments (at an additional cost), but the Chenot programmes are already optimised with plenty of consultations, treatments and activities. You can "optimise" the price by coming with your partner or a friend and sharing a room (double occupancy is possible for the Classic Room and higher categories). But remember that during such a deep detox programme, you may prefer to be on your own, especially if this is your first detox. Booking with us ensures you get the best available rates (including time-limited and seasonal offers), our personal attention and support, as well as exclusive amenities: Complimentary facial treatment Complimentary skincare product For bookings in a Junior Suite or Suite: an additional spa credit Recap of the Chenot programme prices, room included: Advanced Detox: From CHF 8,370 for 7 nights Body Insights & Optimisation: From CHF 8,150 for 5 nights Recover & Energise: From CHF 9,270 for 7 nights Prevention & Ageing Well: From CHF 9,970 for 7 nights Sleep Cycles: From CHF 10,830 for 7 nights Recap of the Chenot room and suite prices: Nest Room: CHF 410/night (single occupancy only) Superior Room: CHF 530/night (single occupancy only) Executive Room: CHF 580/night (single occupancy only) Classic Room: CHF 650/night Deluxe Room: CHF 710/night Panorama Lake View Deluxe Room: CHF 750/night Junior Suite: CHF 950/night Suite: CHF 1,250/night
What are the best alternatives to Chenot Palace Weggis?
There is no exact equivalent of Chenot Palace Weggis in the health wellness world. Some of the Chenot programmes and treatments are also offered elsewhere. You find them at Espace Chenot at L'Albereta in Italy, Espace Chenot at One&Only Portonovi in Montenegro, and Chenot Spa at Selman Marrakech in Morocco. However, Chenot clients tend to also love the following preventive health clinics, which offer programmes and experiences with the same stellar standards: Clinique La Prairie (CLP) in Montreux offers a broader and deeper medical scope, as well as higher prices and more personalisation options. Yet, many clients hesitate between Chenot and CLP, and ask me for advice. VIVAMAYR Maria Wörth offers a slightly deeper medical scope, in particular with Mayr medicine (gut health and related conditions). Its hospitality is slightly simpler than at Chenot Palace Weggis, and the price point is also, generally, lower. ZEM Wellness Clinic in Altea: opened in 2025, more Mediterranean, and with more personalisation options as well. The alternatives to the Chenot Body Insights & Optimisation programme (5 nights) are other ultra-advanced health check-ups. Among them is the Health Diagnostics programme at Clinique La Prairie, over 3 days. The Life checkup at ZOĪ in Paris takes 1 day, with a results consultation 1 month after. There are also the Evolve and Ultimate checkups at YEARS in Berlin, and the Momentum and Pinnacle checkups at Chi Longevity in Singapore. Chi Longevity was founded by one of the most renowned longevity physicians in the world: Dr Andrea Mayer.
How much does Chenot Palace Weggis cost?
The most famous programme at Chenot Palace Weggis is Advanced Detox, for 7 nights. The programme and the room are priced separately, and the entry-level room is the Nest Room, at CHF 410/night, single occupancy. Together, a stay at Chenot starts from CHF 8,370.
Are meals included in the price?
Yes, all meals are included in the Chenot programme prices. The meals follow the Chenot Diet, which is a fasting-mimicking diet, great to let the body get rid of toxins. Guests choosing the Body Insights & Optimisation programme get double portions. Guests who estimate that the regular Chenot Diet is too low on calories for them can discuss with the nutritionist and request to also get double portions.
Are there hidden costs at Chenot Palace Weggis?
No hidden fees. However you can book optional extras like advanced epigenetic testing or additional treatments.
Do you make friends at Chenot?
Chenot is a very successful wellness clinic concept, so there are always many guests at the same time. But it's not overwhelming, quite the opposite: everyone is very chic and respectful of the other guests' privacy. There are so many treatments that most guests come for lunch wearing their bathrobe, and others wear yoga or fitness apparel. It creates a very welcoming atmosphere, because you see people how they really are, without the look of how they would normally dress. Dinner is more casual chic, but it's never show-off. Guests at Chenot are really friendly with each other, and highly supportive. It is easy to make new like-minded friends. Some guests choose to return to Chenot with friends they first met there during a previous stay. Moreover, Chenot Palace Weggis organises a complimentary apero once a week. It is alcohol-free, of course, but still a great opportunity to meet and discuss with other guests, as well as key members of the Chenot team.
Who is Chenot Palace Weggis best suited for?
Guests who want a strict detox protocol with proper medical support. The Chenot method is precise about food, treatments and rhythm. If you dislike structure, or want a stay shaped entirely around you, a resort like Bad Ragaz suits better.
How does Chenot Palace Weggis compare to Lanserhof?
Both run structured detox programmes at the highest level, and they get there differently. Lanserhof follows Mayr medicine, so every programme starts with gut health and is fully personalised. Detox comes as a side benefit rather than the goal. Chenot engineered the most advanced detox protocol and applies it rigorously, with treatments, hydrotherapy and TCM sessions. Both are upscale, and in both you make friends easily.
Can I pay for my stay at Chenot Palace Weggis in stablecoin?
Yes. Ask for your quote in USDT (TRC20) or USDC, the same way you would ask for it in euros or dollars. We settle your stay with Chenot Palace Weggis, and your booking at Chenot Palace Weggis is in your name.
