Opens a New Chapter in Preventive Health and Wellbeing in Monaco
A new destination dedicated to longevity, preventive medicine and recovery has arrived on the French Riviera. Situated at 17 Boulevard de la République in Beausoleil, just a few minutes from Monte-Carlo, SOMA Longevity brings together medical expertise, advanced diagnostics, wellness and recovery in one carefully designed environment. One of its most distinctive features is the region’s first authentic traditional banya.
A Holistic Vision of Longevity
Founded by Anna Lunhu Wardenaar, SOMA Longevity was created around a simple yet increasingly important idea: health, longevity and recovery should be approached together rather than separately.
From the moment guests enter, the atmosphere reflects this philosophy. Natural materials, warm tones and an intimate interior create a peaceful environment away from the rhythm of everyday life. The centre combines a longevity clinic with a traditional banya, three dedicated treatment rooms and two relaxation spaces, including a private outdoor courtyard.
The result is a place designed not only for medical consultations, but also for restoration, relaxation and taking time for oneself.
The Art of the Traditional Banya
At the heart of SOMA’s wellness concept is its traditional banya — a distinctive experience for the Monaco area.
The ritual goes well beyond a conventional sauna session. Guided steam experiences are combined with venik treatments using leafy branches, alternating hot and cold temperatures, breathing exercises, periods of rest and a traditional tea ceremony.
By bringing this centuries-old bathing culture into a contemporary longevity setting, SOMA offers an experience centred on both physical recovery and mental relaxation.
Global Medical Knowledge Under One Roof
SOMA has developed an international network of specialists in preventive medicine and longevity. Among its collaborations are diagnostic protocols developed by Prof. Dr. Bernd Kleine-Gunk, providing a structured basis for understanding individual health profiles and creating personalised longevity programmes.
The centre also works with a leading laboratory operating under the scientific direction of German professor Dr. Matthias Willmann. Its expertise includes advanced laboratory testing and microbiome analysis.
Depending on the individual programme, assessments may examine blood biomarkers, hormonal and metabolic parameters, the microbiome, cardiovascular health, body composition and biological age.
These diagnostics allow SOMA’s specialists to create programmes based on individual needs, priorities and long-term health objectives.
A Personalised 360° Approach
Rather than focusing on a single treatment, SOMA brings together different dimensions of wellbeing preventive medicine, physical performance, recovery, nutrition, mental wellbeing and aesthetic health.
Its programmes can address a wide range of goals, including weight management, hormonal balance, menopause, male and female longevity, sexual wellness and libido, stress management, sleep, cognitive performance, nutrition and digestive health.
For those looking for longer-term support, programmes may combine medical monitoring with personalised nutrition, exercise, coaching, supplementation, recovery therapies and regular biomarker assessments.
Recovery, Body and Wellness Treatments
Recovery is another important element of the SOMA experience.
The treatment menu includes relaxing, deep-tissue, lymphatic-drainage and sports massages, together with targeted treatments for the head, neck and shoulders.
Body rituals include magnesium and salt exfoliation, honey and propolis treatments, mineral wraps and recovery-focused balms. The wellness offering is complemented by breathwork, yoga therapy, red-light therapy, pressotherapy and hot-and-cold contrast treatments.
The centre’s vision of healthy ageing also extends to skin and aesthetic medicine. Facial rejuvenation, collagen-stimulating procedures, regenerative approaches, exosome-based treatments, skin-health programmes, hair restoration and body contouring can all form part of a broader personalised programme.
Technology Meets Preventive Wellness
Advanced technologies further expand SOMA’s approach.
EMSCULPT NEO® combines electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency in a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate muscles while addressing body fat.
EMSELLA® focuses specifically on pelvic-floor health and intimate wellbeing, including concerns such as urinary incontinence. The treatment is performed fully clothed while seated on a specialised chair.
Another technology available at SOMA is EXOMIND®, which uses non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation to target areas of the brain associated with emotional regulation, cognitive function and self-control.
A New Perspective on Healthy Ageing
What makes SOMA distinctive is the way these different disciplines are brought together. Longevity is approached not simply as the pursuit of looking younger, but as a broader commitment to maintaining health, vitality and quality of life over time.
By combining diagnostics, preventive medicine, recovery rituals, physical performance, wellness, mental wellbeing and aesthetic medicine, SOMA Longevity proposes a more comprehensive vision of healthy ageing personalised, science-led and designed around the individual.
