Cuisinart Resort & Spa, Anguilla

The Health and Wellness Program is a professionally planned schedule of activites for a better understanding of a healthy lifestyle.

Nutrition
Nutrition in the form of healthy, low-calorie meals is the first component of the program. But how many times have we heard "healthy, low-calorie" and cringed! Not so here, where an abundant daily supply of the freshest produce possible - anywhere in the world - lends a helping hand to make meals tasty, colorful, filled with natural vitamins, and most important, anticipated!

Find the tools to balance diet, exercise and relaxation - and to create a new you - at Cuisinart Resort and Spa's Wellness Program! Make lifestyle changes but maintain tranquility in a comfortable, individualized program.
Our on-site hydroponic farm cultivates tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuces, herbs and many more culinary staples in a liquid nutrient solution chock full of vitamins.The colorful, nutritious, daily harvest is in the kitchens morning, noon and night for optimal use in Wellness Program meals. Biting into a hydroponically grown tomato is one of the best sensory experiences in the world - and hydroponic lettuce plucked fresh from the farm makes "bland" passe.
Executive Chef Denis Jaricot and his team create dishes using the freshest vegetables and herbs from the hydroponic farm's wide selection daily and serve them immediately. Guests are overwhelmingly positive about the quality of food here.

Health care counselors assist with information and encouragement when meal planning - including special consultant, world-renowned chef Paul Bocuse - whether the goal is losing weight, losing fat or just learning to eat properly! The program is developed in partnership with the Culinary Nutrition Program of the College of Culinary Arts, Johnson & Wales University.

Exercise and relaxation, the other valuable components of this program, are available at the CuisinArt Resort & Spa. Customize your exercise with yoga classes or a personal training program, tailored to your individual needs.Then relax at the Spa - luxuriating in a variety of facials, massage and hydrotherapy treatments.

Philosophy
Taking Control the CuisinArt Way is a 10-day interactive Retreat conducted monthly on Anguilla at one of the Caribbean's most beautiful beachfront resorts, CuisinArt Resort & Spa. The Retreat combines nutrition, exercise, body pampering, therapeutic and medical guidance to position clients to release stress and to take control of their own total well-being.

Fundamental to this program is the medically verified belief that stress is one of the biggest enemies to actually achieving well-being. That's why the program's physical location - on one of the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches - and the serene, Mediterranean-inspired resort that's virtually alive with nature - play such a key role in accomplishing relief from stress.

It's said that music hath charms to sooth the savage beast. Here at CuisinArt Resort & Spa we believe that the beauty of our setting works like music. After a few days here, guests will begin to feel their stress loads lighten. Learning how to control stress and using diet and exercise as stress relief tools provide lifelong benefits when participants return home.

Retreats are limited to small groups. Ideal candidates are those in the midst of busy careers without time to research how to maximize their well-being and enhance longevity and quality of life in later years.
Each Retreat shows candidates how to discover the ideal conditions leading to the realization and preservation of an optimum state of physical and mental well-being. While at the resort clients walk the walk toward looking and feeling their best. The process jumpstarts them into an exercise, relaxation, nutritional and weight loss regime that emphasizes enjoyment and pleasure over a puritanical approach demonstrated in similarly stateside clinics.

Demonstrable results may include weight loss, stress reduction and body tone and flexibility. This program is conducted under the guidance and direction of medical and health professionals. The CuisinArt Resort & Spa partners with Health-e-tech TM to provide the most dynamic, up-to-date wellness management tools and software.
