Welcome to the Longevity issue of The Lodha Times, where we delve into the art and science of living not just longer, but better. As our world evolves, so too does our understanding of what it means to lead a fulfilling, enduring life one that balances physical health, emotional well-being and purposeful living.
Luxury wellness in 2025 is no longer defined by indulgent treatments or spa retreats on Caribbean islands. Breakthroughs in the fields of genetics, cellular biology and preventative medicine mean that the ideal of ‘ageing gracefully’ is increasingly being replaced by that of ageing purposefully. Rather than solely talking about living longer, today’s longevity experts are instead discussing ‘healthspan’, i.e. how mobile, cognisant and capable you will be in the last decade of life.
“Longevity challenges the notion of inevitable decline, shifting our mindset and setting a new standard in ageing,” says Dr Mohammed Enayat, founder of HUM2N, a health club and longevity clinic in South Kensington. HUM2N’s clients – including Orlando Bloom and Anthony Joshua – seek bespoke strategies that blend cutting-edge science such as epigenetics and cryotherapy with bespoke preventative healthcare. “My approach focuses on identifying disease processes earlier, simpler interventions and increasing quality of life,” Enayat adds.
At Studio Lodha, designing for well-being involves crafting spaces that prioritise comfort, tranquillity and connection. A home should serve as more than just a residence it should be a sanctuary that allows for rejuvenation and peace of mind. Thoughtful design elements, such as soft, warm lighting, natural fibres and rich textures, play a pivotal role in promoting this sense of well-being. For instance, warm lighting fosters a calming atmosphere, while natural materials like linen and wool provide an inherent sense of groundedness. Wood, in particular, offers significant benefits, with research published in the Journal of Health Psychology demonstrating its ability to reduce stress and encourage relaxation.
In addition, creating spaces that encourage connections with nature is an essential aspect of designing for wellbeing. Studio Lodha incorporates biophilic design principles into their projects, integrating natural elements such as plants and expansive windows to bring the outdoors in.
From a brain-boosting programme on Lake Geneva’s crystalline shores to Ayurvedic healing in the Himalayas, these landmark destinations blend ultra-personalised programmes and pioneering science with ancient traditions. Whether seeking to rejuvenate the mind, renew the body or uplift the soul, wellness seekers can do so in style at the world’s most revered retreats.
