Can Taking a Vacation Extend Your Life?

At first glance, the crowd at Six Senses Ibiza looks typical of the revelers known to frequent Spain’s legendary party island. Women in sparkly bikinis and macramé cover-ups dance with tanned, toned men as DJs spin poolside. But they’ve come for a different kind of cocktail.

Inside RoseBar, the resort’s on-site longevity club, doctors, nurses and nutritionists carefully administer everything from gut-scouring apple cider vinegar and cayenne shots to pills of magnesium to promote sleep. I was prescribed a $750 IV drip of NAD+, a coenzyme that plays a vital role in DNA repair. “Boosting” on it, says a statuesque staffer with dewy skin, is like drinking from the fountain of youth.
