$70,000 Longevity School, $44,000 Stem-Cell Therapy Stay, $20,000 Blood Drawing Retreat – The New Travel Trend For The Rich And Powerful

Instead of lounging on a beach with a cocktail in hand, imagine checking into a luxury resort to inject your stem cells or heading to a high-tech clinic for a deep dive into your DNA. 

Longevity tourism is the new frontier of travel. Here, the wealthy and influential are spending tens of thousands of dollars to unwind and attempt to slow down the aging process.

• Are you rich? Here’s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
• How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you? Tax deferring is their number one strategy.
• A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 — you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.

Forget the usual spa days and yoga retreats. These days, wealthy travelers are booking trips that promise more than just relaxation – they want to add years to their lives. The options are almost endless. You can attend a $70,000 “five-day, five-star, deep dive into longevity” led by top researchers, go on a $44,000 stem-cell therapy stay or even sign up for a $20,000 blood-drawing retreat where they analyze over 200 biomarkers to create a personalized health plan.

Longevity tourism has exploded in popularity as more people want to stay active and healthy for as long as possible. It's a far cry from the old vacation model of all-you-can-eat buffets and too many piña coladas. Today, the wealthy seek ways to live better – and longer.

From Mediterranean Cruises to Longevity Cruises

Take Storylines, a cruise line that brands itself as a “blue zone at sea,” inspired by areas where people live the longest. Instead of just sunbathing and sipping drinks, passengers can get Botox, IV vitamin drips and bioidentical hormone therapy. And they aren't just eating any old cruise food; the world's healthiest diets inspire meals, all made with ingredients grown on the ship's solar-powered organic farm.

This new way of traveling isn’t limited to the open ocean. According to Fortune, upscale resorts are also participating. You may spend more than $44,000 on a four-part treatment package at the Four Seasons Resort in Maui, which includes stem cells and ozone therapy. Alternatively, you can choose to detox after a night of excess with a 30-minute “Hangover IV” for a much lower $299.

Meanwhile, Canyon Ranch in Arizona has launched a four-day retreat called Longevity8. For $20,000, they'll draw your blood, run tests and give you a detailed health plan to follow. It's a hefty price tag for many people but for those who can afford it, it's surely an investment in their future.

These longevity-focused travels are quickly becoming the ultimate prestige symbol for the very wealthy. Nowadays, it matters more to live a long and healthy life than to possess the largest yacht or the priciest automobile.

Sure enough, this trend sounds over the top to many of us, but it makes sense for those who can afford it. After all, what's the point of being wealthy if you're not around to enjoy it for as long as possible?
