MY SNOWY AFFAIR AT ONE OF THE BEST WELLNESS RETREATS IN THE WORLDCHENOT PALACE GABALA.
Chahat Malhotra
A HOLISTIC JEWEL

The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence." This Norman Vincent Peale's quote has resonated deeply with me, but its true significance and depth became clear during my stay at Chenot Palace Gabala. It felt as though I was wrapped in a soothing blanket of tranquillity, embracing mindful living and focussing solely on taking care of myself with unparalleled services.

After a direct flight from India to Azerbaijan and a scenic drive to Baku, I arrived at a beautifully lit wellness retreat, reminiscent of a charming French chalet, greeted with the most heartfelt smiles. Nestled amidst Azerbaijan's majestic mountains and Caucasian Forest overlooking the peaceful Nohur Lake, Chenot Palace Gabala offers a unique blend of detox, luxury and exploration. Through exceptional programmes and cutting-edge medical diagnostics, it redefines the way we perceive and achieve wellness. You will find a range of weekly programmes such as Fundamental detox, Advanced detox, Prevention and ageing well, Stress recovery and re-energising programmes, and beyond, tailored according to your needs.

Walking through the retreat, I quickly realised that it was far from a typical wellness centre; instead, it had aesthetic corners at every turn, with modern interiors and a hint of French luxury. Even within the lobby, sunlight streaming through the curtains cast a glow, illuminating the space, making it look elegant. Each corner had beautiful paintings and mirrors adorned with distinct frames, adding to the retreat's charm.
