Inside The Newly Opened Buff Medical Resort

The Vision

Buff Medical Resort was created by Swiss entrepreneur and hotelier Hans Jürg Buff to offer medical excellence and exclusive health programmes in combination with a first-class, luxurious 5-star experience – an innovative, holistic health concept as a new path for the body, mind and soul. 

World-leading doctors and specialists of preventative and regenerative medicine come together to provide cross-discipline, personalised medical and holistic treatment programmes for every guest. Bringing experts from a spectrum of medical fields, including cardiology, orthopaedics, osteopathy and physiotherapy, Buff Medical Resort offers a broad range of diagnostics and treatments under one roof. This is coupled with highly qualified yoga, pilates and meditation instructors, leading sports scientists and nutritionists, and advanced spa practitioners working together on an individualised treatment plan. 

Buff Medical Resort is a place of transformation, where guests lay the foundation for a healthier, longer and self-determined life. 

Four Pillars Of Wellbeing

Buff Medical Resort focuses on improving gut and metabolic health, stress management and sleep quality through its unique interdisciplinary exchange of complex diagnostics, holistic wellbeing and the expertise of a mindful lifestyle. It offers ten programmes lasting between three and 21 days, which vary in intensity and content, with each one designed to strengthen, heal and restore. The resort’s commitment to every guest’s care does not end with their stay: guests can expect regular follow-ups to ensure long-term positive outcomes. 

Guests are invited to follow a modern take on the Mayr cure, combining cutting-edge nutritional science with Dr Mayr’s original principles to create tailor-made, gourmet fasting and detoxifying menus that cleanse and regenerate the intestines, harnessing the healing powers of nutrition. Guests not keen to fast can follow instead a GourMED programme of star-level meals.

There are four key pillars:

Altitude Climate Technology

All rooms and suites feature technology that simulates high mountain altitudes up to 4,000 meters above sea level. This globally unique method increases oxygen intake in the body, improving circulation, stimulating cellular metabolism, and enhancing regeneration. It supports cardiovascular health, strengthens the immune system, and energizes the cells, alleviating inflammation and promoting healing. And: it improves sleep quality. 

Cardio-MRI Technology

The Buff Medical Resort uses Cardio-MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) for precise and noninvasive analysis of heart health, including early detection of heart risks and detailed evaluation of heart performance. This allows for the creation of customised treatment plans to sustainably improve heart health. 

Mayr Medicine & Gut Health

The health programme offers a modern interpretation of Dr F.X. Mayr’s internationally recognised fasting method to cleanse and regenerate the gut. The resort’s specialist doctors use precise analysis of the microbiome to offer individually targeted diets and manual abdominal treatments to optimise digestion, promote the absorption of essential nutrients and strengthen health from within. 

Movement Analysis & Muscle Health

Muscle mass decreases by one percent annually from the age of 30. Taking groundbreaking performance diagnostics, a team of orthopedists, sports scientists and physiotherapists works with guests to develop an exercise program to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, reduce pain and improve mobility. Innovative gait and movement analysis precisely analyses misalignments, imbalances and movement patterns of the body, correcting them to address chronic complaints, back problems and sports injuries.

Food and Fasting

We know much of our overall health begins in the gut. Dr F.X. Mayr’s therapeutic fasting principles offer an internationally recognised method for detoxification and cleansing the intestines, in turn allowing the whole body to regenerate and revitalise. The Buff Medical Resort’s 21st-century interpretation of this proven fasting cure is focused on strengthening the immune system and promoting long-term health – without ever feeling hungry. 

Q&A: Dr Claas Hohmann, Medical Director At Buff Medical Resort

Who designed the fasting programme?

It was designed by our BuffMed medical team based on modern Mayr medicine principles. It’s not rigid or strict – instead, the programme is customised for each guest in consultation with our physicians. The approach depends on the guest’s physical constitution, personal wishes and medical history. Some guests aren’t recommended for fasting at all; it’s not suitable for everyone and every condition. 

What typical dishes can those who are fasting expect?

This varies significantly depending on the fasting stage the guest is in. Options range from several days of water and tea fasting (rarely used with our guests) to an easily digestible, low-carbohydrate, organic and healthy diet. For those who aren’t fasting, we offer the BuffMed gourmet cuisine. 

Is the fasting menu calorie controlled?

We don’t count calories. What’s important is that guests rediscover their natural feeling of satiety and consume their meals in a calm, relaxed environment with proper and sufficient chewing. We want to teach our guests a healthy way of eating. We believe how we eat has a substantial and routinely underestimated effect on digestion and health. 

How strict is the programme?

We establish this in consultation with the guest. We see guests every two days, and fasting and eating is always a topic during these consultations. Therefore the programme can be adjusted at any time. 

For those who are not fasting, what kind of dishes can they typically expect to enjoy?

For these guests, we provide an easily digestible, multi-course Mediterranean-inspired meal sequence that can stand in comparison with top gastronomy.

Location and Accomodation

Each of Hans Jürg Buff’s six hotels in St Moritz, Switzerland, has been chosen for its position and Buff Medical Resort is no exception, situated in a leafy park on the shores of Lake Constance, the snow-capped Alps beyond. 

Each of the especially spacious and beautifully designed rooms and suites is south facing, with large balconies overlooking the water, electrical radiation shielding and the option of recreating an alpine high altitude climate to further boost metabolism and restful sleep. 

Positioned within the town of Constance, Buff Medical Resort is 40 minutes from Zurich International Airport and a 20-minute stroll from the train station, served by Deutsche Bahn and Swiss Federal Railways.
