The Nao
Here and Nao The Nao Spa’s inspiration is drawn from water as the source of all life and its ability to adapt. The spa itself has been conceived as a hub for cultivating holistic longevity, and its evidence-based approach to targeting the 12 hallmarks of aging – from cellular senescence to mitochondrial dysfunction – is built on four core pillars: nutrition, sleep, self- mastery and movement.
Of these four elements, nutrition comes first. At its core is the typical Mediterranean diet, built on daily intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and plant-based fats, with some fresh fish, poultry, beans, legumes and eggs. Moderate portions of dairy products are also included, but the amount of red meat is limited. “Contemporary nutritional science plays a key role,” says Patsakis.
“Our dishes are designed to be rich in micronutrients and antioxidants, low in processed elements, and inclusive of all dietary needs. Superfoods, organic products, and plant-based alternatives are thoughtfully incorporated to reflect a growing global demand for conscious, health-centered cuisine. Our foodservice offering is shaped by the desire to create culinary experiences that promote balance, longevity, and happiness, in harmony with the natural surroundings and the guest’s individual journey.”
“Moving forward, this project will serve as a benchmark – both in design and execution – for future renovations and new developments within our portfolio, further strengthening our reputation as leaders in hospitality and gastronomy.”
