Canyon Ranch Launches LONGEVITY8™: A Revolutionary Program for Living Younger, Longer

By Nishang Narayan

Published on August 22, 2024

Canyon Ranch, the legendary wellness experience and hospitality company, has unveiled its latest innovation: LONGEVITY8™, a groundbreaking program designed to extend both lifespan and health span. LONGEVITY8 is the most thorough and thoughtful offering in the category, inspired by eight core principles and built on Canyon Ranch’s decades of expertise combined with new technology and tools.

The eight guiding principles of LONGEVITY8 include Integrative Medicine, Flexibility and Fitness, Nutrition, Sleep, Spiritual Wellness, Mental and Emotional Health, Outdoor Activity, and Strength and Endurance. This holistic approach ensures that guests not only live longer but also enjoy a higher quality of life.

LONGEVITY8 involves a four-day, four-night all-inclusive stay at Canyon Ranch's Tucson resort. During their stay, guests will undergo 15 diagnostic tests assessing over 200 biomarkers, including blood work, cancer screening, and genetic testing. Additional scientific evaluations, such as VO2 Max and DEXA Body Composition, are offered at the resort's state-of-the-art medical center. These assessments aim to enhance both lifespan and health span by identifying and addressing key health factors.

The program also includes 18 one-on-one consultations with Canyon Ranch’s team of experts, comprising board-certified doctors, licensed practitioners, and professional service providers. Guests will benefit from six months of virtual follow-ups, ensuring that the positive changes initiated during the program continue long after their stay.

Canyon Ranch CEO Mark Rivers emphasized the program’s unique approach, stating, "LONGEVITY8 thoroughly and thoughtfully provides the road map for the entire journey to live younger, longer. While tools and technology are critical, we believe that expertise, human connection, and a total perspective are most important for a life of health and happiness."

LONGEVITY8 is particularly significant for Generation X, as they observe their parents living longer lives, but not necessarily healthier ones. According to Rivers, "Only 20-40% of factors that determine lifespan are inherited genetically. This means 60-80% of these elements are trainable and adaptable based on lifestyle adjustments in mind, body, and spirit, which is where the principles of LONGEVITY8 can make a direct impact."

The inaugural LONGEVITY8 session will take place at Canyon Ranch's Tucson resort from November 10-14, 2024, with the next session scheduled for December 8-12, 2024. Additional programs will be available throughout 2025. The investment for this transformative experience is $20,000 per person or $36,000 per couple.

Booking for LONGEVITY8 opens on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. Interested guests can learn more and secure their spot by visiting canyonranch.com/longevity8 or calling 866-494-9279.

Meliá Pattaya Hotel has officially launched its YHI Spa, offering a thoughtfully curated menu of wellness treatments that promote physical and mental well-being — from improving metabolism and easing tension to boosting circulation and enhancing sleep quality.

This marks the fourth YHI Spa in Thailand under Meliá Hotels International, following successful rollouts at Meliá Koh Samui, Meliá Phuket Mai Khao, and Meliá Chiang Mai. Named after the goddess of life and light from the Karraur First Nations mythology, YHI Spa blends ancient Asian healing wisdom with contemporary wellness techniques.

With four serene treatment rooms and a traditional Thai herbal sauna, the spa is designed for ultimate rejuvenation. The spa’s signature treatment, “YHI Oriental Harmony”, combines Swedish and Thai massage techniques to target pressure points and aid muscle recovery — ideal for guests with persistent back, neck, or shoulder tension.

Highlighting Thai heritage, the “Siam Serenity Herbal Compress” features the traditional Luk Pra Kob infused with lemongrass, turmeric, camphor, and ginger, offering relief from inflammation and improved circulation.

For those seeking a full immersive experience, the “Blue Ocean Bliss Signature Treatment” blends a detoxifying marine salt scrub, yoga stretches, and an oil and seawater massage — topped with a local snack and herbal drink. Couples can enjoy the “Lot of Love” package, beginning with a romantic milk bath and followed by a shared massage.

The spa also offers facials and body treatments like the “Yuzu Scrub and Vitiver Body Polish” with Himalayan salt, konjac sponge, and caffeine to brighten and rehydrate the skin. The “Ageless Facial Treatment” uses natural extracts from water lily, licorice, and cactus to combat signs of aging.

Shorter hydrotherapy rituals, such as the “Citrus and Salt Bath Voyage” and “Royal Rice Milk Soak”, provide 30 minutes of pure relaxation and detox.

All treatments use products from HARNN, an organic Thai wellness brand known for natural, artisanal formulations passed down through generations.

Open daily from 10am to 8pm, the YHI Spa at Meliá Pattaya offers three single treatment rooms with showers, a spa suite for couples with hydrotherapy, and a Thai herbal sauna to complete the wellness journey.
