In a move that blurs the lines between high science and holistic healing, Estée Lauder has unveiled its first-ever Skin Longevity Institute in the Americas—nestled within the transformative sanctuary of Hacienda AltaGracia, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection. Located in Costa Rica’s fabled Nicoya Peninsula—one of the world’s five Blue Zones known for extraordinary longevity—this new experience marks a powerful pivot into the wellness space for the beauty house.
Backed by over 15 years of longevity research, the initiative merges Estée Lauder’s cutting-edge Re-Nutriv technology with the immersive, nature-infused healing practices that AltaGracia is celebrated for. More than just a retreat, it’s a journey into deep regeneration—where skincare innovation and spiritual renewal go hand in hand.
The heart of the experience lies within AltaGracia’s Casa de Agua, a world-class spa designed to mirror the rhythms of the land. Here, guests are invited to surrender to bespoke treatments featuring Estée Lauder’s most luxurious line, Re-Nutriv, known for its age-reversing powers and rare ingredients. These are not off-the-shelf facials; each session is powered by Estée Lab Skin Pro—a precision diagnostic tool that tailors every treatment to the guest’s unique skin profile.

But the experience extends far beyond the facial table. Estée Lauder’s collaboration with AltaGracia introduces a Visiting Masters series, featuring renowned wellness leaders like Crystal Greene, Global Re-Nutriv Ambassador, and Manjit Devgun, a respected breathwork and mind coach. Together, they guide guests through integrative sessions that harmonise body, mind, and skin—helping participants leave not just refreshed, but deeply transformed.
This is not merely a spa vacation—it’s a wellness immersion that aligns with the future of beauty. In an age when consumers are increasingly turning to holistic solutions backed by science, Estée Lauder’s move into longevity-based treatments represents a timely evolution. It also positions the brand alongside a new wave of luxury wellness offerings that see beauty as more than skin-deep.

And the setting couldn’t be more appropriate. Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula has long fascinated scientists and seekers alike for its unusually high population of centenarians. Surrounded by pristine rainforests and sacred mountain air, Hacienda AltaGracia provides the perfect backdrop for a beauty ritual that touches something deeper—where age becomes not a number, but a narrative of vitality.
With the launch of the Skin Longevity Institute at AltaGracia, Estée Lauder is rewriting the rules of rejuvenation. It’s not just about looking younger—it’s about living longer, better, and more beautifully. In one of the most life-giving corners of the world, the future of beauty has found its sanctuary.
