Estée Lauder has opened its first Skin Longevity Institute in the Americas at Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resorts Collection, in Costa Rica. The new space is located within the resort’s Casa de Agua Spa, near one of the world’s five Blue Zones, areas known for longer life expectancy.
The institute combines Re-Nutriv skincare with Estée Lauder’s research on longevity. The treatments focus on restoring balance and supporting vitality through immersive programs inspired by the local environment.
“We couldn’t be more excited for the opening of the Estée Lauder Skin Longevity Institute at Hacienda AltaGracia. When we launched our Skin Longevity platform here more than a year ago, we knew that it was just the beginning,” said Justin Boxford, Estée Lauder Global Brand President. “Hacienda AltaGracia is truly a place unlike any other, honoring the rich local culture and lifestyle practices while providing guests with unparalleled luxury experiences and high-touch service, both of which are at the heart of the Estée Lauder brand. 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.”
The institute includes three new Re-Nutriv facial treatments exclusive to the resort. Each uses Estée Lauder’s SIRTIVITY-LP technology, rare ingredients and personalized techniques. Estheticians will also use the Estée Lab Skin Pro diagnostic tool to tailor treatments based on individual skin analysis.
Two members of Estée Lauder’s Longevity Collective are featured during the opening. Mind coach Manjit Devgun offers breathwork and movement sessions. She also created a guided meditation that will open every facial. Crystal Greene, global Re-Nutriv skincare ambassador, delivers facials using her own techniques combined with Re-Nutriv products.
“At Hacienda AltaGracia, we are constantly exploring meaningful ways to support our guests on their personal journey toward living well,” said Vivianne Garcia-Tunon, Vice President of Wellbeing, Auberge Resorts Collection. “The launch of the Estée Lauder Skin Longevity Institute at Hacienda AltaGracia represents an exciting evolution of our immersive well-being programming—seamlessly integrating advanced skincare, science-backed longevity practices, and the restorative power of our natural surroundings. This partnership offers our guests a truly unique opportunity to feel vibrant, nurtured, and inspired.”
The partnership reflects more than 15 years of Estée Lauder research. All offerings are designed to deliver a multi-sensory experience built around the brand’s longevity platform.
