Costa Rica’s New Estée Lauder Institute Pledges Youthful Skin Benefits

Estée Lauder’s first Skin Longevity Institute in the Americas has opened in Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica, at the Hacienda AltaGracia, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection. This location aligns with one of the world’s “Blue Zones,” known for healthy lifestyles and longevity.

The institute features treatments centered around Estée Lauder’s Re-Nutriv skincare collection, combined with AI-based skin analyses for personalized regimens. The spa, Casa de Agua, offers an array of luxurious treatments including mud rituals and bespoke facials, set in a striking facility with a glass-walled pool and hot tub atrium.

To launch the institute, Estée Lauder collaborated with experts like facialist Crystal Greene and energy healer Manjit Devgun. The resort offers holistic rates that include meals, wellness experiences, and a dedicated guide for each guest, aiming to deliver transformative experiences rooted in well-being and longevity.
