Leading wellness brand The Chenot Group is planning to unveil a luxury integrative health facility onboard a 293-metre superyacht – called Njord – with its own private residential community.
As of 2024, the group will operate a 930sq m world-class medical spa facility on the superyacht, complete with open-ended panoramic views.
Chenot has teamed up with Ocean Residences Development to secure the move, which will mark the group's first wellness facility at sea.
Njord is claimed to become the world’s largest private yacht and is being realised with 118 luxury residences in 21 distinct styles. The project is being realised by world-renowned, superyacht naval architect Espen Øino and Jean Louis Stutzmann, Ocean Residences’ development chief design architect.
Residents will be offered Chenot’s signature extensive wellness programmes with bespoke holistic, dietary and physical treatments alongside natural therapies to detox, de-stress, re-energise, reset and rebalance both body and mind.
In addition, the yacht will have a professionally staffed medical centre equipped with advanced testing, monitoring and diagnostic equipment.
Dr George Gaitanos, Chenot’s chief operating and scientific officer explains: “Our wellbeing is a non-negotiable necessity to life and something that’s no longer optional. This partnership will offer a transformational experience integrating health with wellbeing resulting in an extraordinary ‘vitality to life’.
“The science behind Chenot combined with the services and lifestyle on the superyacht will lead to guests experiencing an exclusive, immersive and most importantly a complete and distinct experience.”
As a private yacht with a philanthropic purpose, Njord will also be equipped to undertake research everywhere it travels, with a professional standard oceanographic research laboratory and a gyroscopic telescope housed in the top deck observatory.
The superyacht will host an array of amenities, including a marina, yacht and sailing club and an expedition and dive centre with various watercraft including submersibles.
Additionally, there will be six restaurants, a gourmet market, culinary studio, golf centre, pools, a gym, arts and craft centre, library and theatre.
