Longevity is more attainable when you’re in a tropical paradise. Estée Lauder  formed an exclusive partnership with Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resorts Collection in Costa Rica. Lauder launched its first Skin Longevity Institute in the Americas within the resort’s Casa de Agua Spa. 

Programming and immersive treatments promise to awaken vitality, restore balance and reconnect guests with the simple joys of life inspired by the resort’s natural surroundings.

The resort is adjacent to one of the world’s five “Blue Zones,” regions recognized for their high concentration of centenarians. Hacienda AltaGracia offers a transformative journey grounded in trusted longevity practices. 

Justin Boxford, global brand president, Estée Lauder, said,

“When we launched our Skin Longevity platform here more than a year ago, we knew that it was just the beginning… Through exclusive age reversal skincare treatments and holistic wellness activations, the Skin Longevity Institute will provide the ultimate elevated Estée Lauder experience for guests, all inspired by our expertise in skin longevity science.”

Backed by over 15 years of skin longevity research, the Estée Lauder Skin Longevity Institute at Hacienda AltaGracia offers guests an immersive experience. It fuses luxury Re-Nutriv skincare powered cutting-edge Skin Longevity science.

New Product Launches for Re-Nutriv

Exclusive to Hacienda AltaGracia, Estée Lauder added three new Re-Nutriv facial treatments to its existing offerings. Each is designed to deliver exceptional, customized results while bringing the brand’s Skin Longevity philosophy to life. 

In addition to the facial treatments, estheticians will utilize the EstéeLab Skin Pro. This skin diagnostic tool analyzes skin and develop a customized facial protocol for guests.
