RAKXA & REPEAT

January/February 2024

Evidence-backed wellness dovetails with cutting-edge science at Rakxa, Bangkok's hottest integrative wellness retreat. Can beauty director Alli Sim biohack her way to wellbeing?

RAKXA & REPEAT

I went to a four-day wellness retreat and didn't have to do yoga once. That's it. That's the lede. Don't get me wrong, I love the practice. However at Rakxa Wellness & Medical Retreat, there's more. From cupping to colonics, cryo saunas and corrective exercise you can save yoga for home. With the options for medical and holistic healing extending far beyond a vinyasa sesh, it's a biohackers paradise dressed in an elegant Thai accent.

Nestled on the river in Bangkok's 'green lung', the lush property opened during the pandemic and has fast become the region's hottest destination for health and revitalisation. Here, the potential for 'anti-ageing and rejuvenation seem endless. If you've ever fantasised about a total lifestyle makeover, Rakxa is the ultimate springboard.

Powered by VitalLife, a partner of the world-renowned Bumrungrad Hospital, each guest undergoes a hyper-personalised integrated treatment programme. Want to detox, improve mobility, heal your gut, lose weight, sleep better, metabolise stress or simply relax? There are programmes for that, starting from five days though some international guests have been known to stay for 20 or more.

Day One: The Connectedness Of Things

My session begins with a consultation with a seasoned doctor, who shares that integrative health means mind, body and spirit are treated as one. In practice, this means a squad of experts finetuning treatments to your physiological data.

Rakxa's doctors, wellness advisers, traditional medicine healers of the Ayurvedic, Thai and Chinese variety, trainers, physios, nutritionists and chefs work based on findings from muscle, bone and hormone panels.

Crafting LEGACY

The Singapore we know today is as dynamic and rich as it is only because of what, or rather, who once shaped us. For our Home issue, we illuminate six foundational voices who laid the groundwork for our culturally rich fabric. This feature delves into their creative worlds and unique journeys, showing how each of them infuses Singapore's essence into their designs as fashion becomes both a vessel for cultural preservation and a meaningful step towards our evolving codes of style.
