When you step inside the glass doors of Institut Eternity in Geneva and breathe the fresh essential oils, all the stress magically melts away. You feel like you came to the right place to take a break from your hectic life, relax, and just be.

You sip warm tea, sit on the comfy couch, and choose your treatment. Whether you pick a facial, a body massage, or a slimming treatment in one of their super-modern machines that make you feel like you’ve fallen inside a warm space ship, you’re sure to unwind and feel great. If you’re in the mood, you can even go for the infra-red sauna, or the new spa-jet that promises relax, detox, and slimming at the same time. What more could you wish for?

A boutique, of course: the Institut is starting its own line of Swiss-made bio, vegan cosmetics and creams. And if after all the pampering you’re suddenly hungry on your way out, why not head to Spinella for a taste of delicacies from Sicily? It’s heaven.
