As pioneers in the field, Mayr saw and capitalised on the opportunities in the wellness and health space early on. No doubt this foresight has paid due dividends especially today with the growing stressors of modern life. “More people are seeking mindful, healthfocused trave,” admits Schnitzler.
“Our long-standing focus on digestive health and advanced medical care for instance aligns perfectly with this global movement.” According to Schnitzler, the Diagnostic & Longevity Program remains a top choice for guests. It offers personalised nutrition, intermittentfasting, and expert medical guidance to improve long-term health.
Mayr’s setting makes it an ideal space for rejuvenation.
“Guests also love the Advanced Longevity Module, which includes therapies like IHHT (Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Training), ozone therapy, and resilience coaching, aimed at boosting energy and sustainable wellness,” she adds. Despite Mayr being pioneers in the field, the resort has continuously advanced its offerings to keep with the times.
“We’ve seen a big shift has been the rise of personalised medicine,” Schnitzler says. “Enhanced diagnostics—such as blood analysis, genetic profiling, and metabolic assessments—allow Mayr to offer highly tailored treatments, blending science with time-tested methods to improve detox, nutrition, and preventive care.”
Looking to the future, Schnitzler opines that the wellness sector will be advancing towards authentic, evidence-based care. “Guests are seeking not just pampering, but sustainable solutions that support both physical and emotional health,” she elaborates. “The focus is shifting toward transparency, advanced diagnostics, and preventive, holistic approaches.”
