About Istana Bespoke Health - Barbados
Istana is a premier luxury rehab in the Caribbean region. They only admit one client at a time and treatment is entirely bespoke, designed with compassion for results capable of lasting a lifetime.
Housed in their own private luxury villas amidst environments of tranquility and privacy, Istana shows their clients how to live free from substance dependence, helps them rediscover joy and restores them from burnout.
Their world-class professional staff have been selected not only for their medical expertise, but also for their unmatched empathy and compassion. Istana has looked after royalty, celebrities, and high-ranking executives. They understand the nuances and treatment requirements of HNWIs. This also includes those who prefer peace and privacy over a group environment. Client confidentiality and a relaxed atmosphere are paramount at Istana. For this reason, they only admit one client at a time in each location. Clients are housed in their own private 5-star villa, complete with a pool, discreet domestic staff, and a personal chef.
Short term cosmetic results are easy to achieve, but Istana’s focus is on clients' lifelong happiness. They create personalised one-on-one holistic programs using curated, multidisciplinary treatment teams for each client. One client enjoys a luxurious and exotic villa, located in picturesque Barbados. Treatment caters to this singular client, with their treatment team collaborating to plan weekly scheduling, aftercare, and the lifelong results clients can expect from Istana. Their treatment modalities include psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, modern medicine, healthy living, and evidence-based holistic practices to heal clients’ mind, body, and spirit.
Istana sees clients as a whole person and treats them as the unique individual they are. This personalised, holistic treatment teaches clients how to live a happy and fulfilling life without the misuse of substances. Time at Istana provides an opportunity to immeasurably improve clients’ lives–in dealing with mental health, dependence issues, and beyond.
Clients can expect utmost privacy and discretion at Istana. Their personalized, one-on-one treatment begins even as they arrange travel to their Barbados location. Once at a villa, a team of medical and mental health professionals craft a treatment plan unique to their client. This team surrounds them as they work through recovery, with a personal chef and holistic providers complementing therapeutic care. Clients can also expect daily progress in their recovery and in healing underlying complications, leading to healthy coping mechanisms and lasting recovery. Istana’s chefs and recreational activities also provide an increase in fitness levels, and expert nutrition to nourish each client. Istana also prioritizes making recovery something to enjoy–their exotic Barbados location enhances this to its top ability.
