What to expect..

Several times a year, Aro Ha proudly partners with engaging educators to accompany our award-winning retreats.

This special edition retreat will weave cutting-edge health science with rest, ritual, and nature. Led by leading biohackers and longevity educators Camilla Thompson and Azra Alagic, guests will explore personalised longevity practices alongside Aro Ha’s deeply nourishing programme, leaving restored, informed, and equipped to age well with intention.

Nestled in the Southern Alps, Aro Ha offers evidence-based wellness experiences where longevity research guides the body and insight traditions guide the heart. This retreat combines Camilla and Azra’s expertise and insights with Aro Ha’s signature wellness experiences to help you unlock your best self and future.

Longevity Strategy for Your Biology

This retreat begins before you arrive.

It’s an immersive retreat focused on your healthspan.

After winning the Destination Deluxe Group Retreat of the Year Award, Azra and Camilla are bringing their bespoke approach to Aro Ha.

Guests are invited to complete advanced biomarker assessments before landing in the Southern Alps. Your results are used to deliver personalised one-on-one consultations with Azra or Camilla during your stay, translating data into protocols you can implement immediately.

Optional Pre-Retreat Testing:

  • DNA Analysis — How your genetics shape metabolism, inflammation, and nutrient needs
  • Gut Microbiome — The ecosystem driving immunity, mood, and longevity
  • Dutch Hormone Test (women) — Your hormonal landscape mapped for targeted action

Testing incurs additional cost and is optional but recommended.

Additionally, enjoy cold exposure in alpine air. Circadian-aligned sleep in off-grid eco-lodging. Plant-based nutrition designed to reduce inflammation. Breathwork at altitude. Movement that builds strength and resilience. Daily massage to support recovery.

Azra and Camilla add the layer of tailored understanding—why these practices work, how your body responds, and which interventions matter most for your unique biology. You'll leave not just restored, but equipped with a personalised playbook for the decades ahead.
