If you’re looking for a peaceful destination to catch up on some R&R, then look no further than one of Switzerland’s most prestigious hotels, Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa, Interlaken. Tucked away in the beautiful Alpine landscape, this resort is perfect to complete personal rejuvenation



Getting Comfortable 

Recommended: The ‘Bel Air Suites’ at Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa.

Situated in the Bernese highlands, the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa is one of the most prestigious destinations in the area. For those seeking a complete health revitalisation, the ‘Bel Air Suites’ are simply perfect! This spacious suite, with a large terrace overlooking the resort’s premise, ensures that you will be able to fully immerse into the lifestyle changing programs, which are neither a boot-camp, nor a self-indulgent pampering fix, but rather a holistic approach to life.



The Art of Well-Being 

Recommended: The ‘Anti-Stress Signature Massage’ at Spa Nescens.

The Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa is home to the highly acclaimed Spa Nescens, which brings together scientific and medical expertise to enhance well-being and health. With a special emphasis on the ‘Better-Ageing Program’, the plan is to decrease stress, strengthen inner dynamism and capture youthful energy. With a choice of a four-day, seven-day or a customised selection, the program is fully adaptable to match your fitness levels. The treatment begins with a full health and body analysis, followed by personalised training, consultation with nutritionists, as well as a physiotherapist and an osteopath if needed. This is then complemented by a selection of facials and massages, aimed at relaxing the muscles and relieving the body of any tension. With several activities planned, the program keeps visitors busy and raring to go.



Blissful Bites

Just like the programs, the diet at the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa is completely personalised. Special dietary requirements are incorporated into all meals and the fully customised mini-bar in your suite. When visitors are not indulging in a massage, they can be spotted energising themselves at the Spa Bistro, which offers a delectable variety of fresh salads, relaxing teas and power-packed juices. Even the elegant La Terrase restaurant incorporates the dietary customisations, offering a special, fluffy chocolate soufflé — divine in taste, yet completely healthy.



A Magical Interruption

If you get some time off from the incredible R&R program, you can explore the breathtaking sights around Interlaken. From visiting the peaks of the majestic Jung-Frau Mountain, to sailing on one of the serene lakes in the region, Interlaken is home to many activities, which will make you feel at one with nature.



The Bollywood Biggie 

Recommended: ‘Yash Chopra Suite’ at Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa.

Besides being an immensely beautiful area, the region is also synonymous with its Bollywood ties. Film maven Yash Chopra directed many movies in Interlaken, from Chandni to Daar. Whilst discovering the various filmy locations, you might also come across a special statue dedicated to the filmmaker himself, for all the tourism he has brought to the area. What’s even more special is the ‘Yash Chopra Suite’ located at the Victoria-Jungfrau, which celebrates the Bollywood romance Veer-Zaara.
