Wellness
After many years of experience (previously under famous Henri Chenot), Palace Merano created an unique concept called 'The Revital Method'. In short, Revital is essentially Detox for Longevity where they apply preventive treatments from the fields of functional, allopathic and energy-based medicine and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The health experts at Palace Merano are true pioneers of pro-active and preventative health where detox, prevention and longevity are the foundation of this method. One of the keystones of it all is the initial medical check-up. This allows them to accurately assess your overall state of health therefore the method is not a 'one size fits all' approach but each guest has their various treatments and activities adapted to their individual needs. By doing one of their programmes you can achieve a better quality of life, enhance physical performance, boost immunity, support sustainable and healthy weight loss or ease an ageing process.
There are five departments at Palace Merano working in perfect synergy to create personalised experience and achieve desired results:
- 1. Health & Nutrition
- 2. Bioenergetics
- 3. Hydro-Mud Therapy
- 4. Spa & Fitness
- 5. Relax & Balance
Palace Merano has an in-house laboratory with the cutting edge diagnostics tools and various tests are available. There is an ongoing investment in medical equipment to ensure that the offering keeps up with the latest developments in the health prevention arena.
Spa facilities include well equipped gym, indoor pool, saunas, hammans and there is a dedicated sauna area for women. An outdoor pool operates between May and October and is heated. There is also a hairdresser corner at the spa, complimentary hike of e-bikes, relaxation area and use of 4 sense chaise lounge (a relaxation experience combining a warm surface, vibration, sound and fragrant aroma).

What’s on the menu
Food and nutrition is the core of Revital concept. All ingredients are top quality, local and seasonal produce are used when possible. Thanks to the delicate preparation and innovative cooking methods, the nutritional elements in foods are preserved, together with all their flavour. Portion are smaller but nutritionally dense and food presentation is outstanding.
There are two diets available:
The Revital Detox diet - the goal is to purify and rebalance the body functions and eliminate toxins and excess fluids. This is a mainly vegetarian meal plan with fish available twice a week and the menu is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and fibres. After the medical consultation, this plan may also include a day of fasting/liquid diet. This diet plan is suitable for everyone. Weight loss might be a side effect but not the main goal of this diet.
The Bio light diet - healthy and light dishes taking inspiration from the Mediterranean tradition. Portions are larger than detox diet and meat is available too. This diet can serve as a model for you and can be adopted in your daily life after the retreat.
Palace Merano also runs a weekly cookery classes so you can learn and apply these healthy practices at home.
There are two restaurants at Palace Merano, one for breakfast and lunch service, second one for dinner service as well as a Tea lounge serving herbal and green teas, mocktails and barley or chicory coffees.
