Oxygen Therapy

  • What it is

    Oxygen therapy has you breathe air enriched to a higher oxygen concentration through a comfortable nasal cannula or mask while you rest. Some resorts combine it with light exercise (oxygen-assisted training).

  • Who it's for

    Guests with reduced exercise tolerance, chronic respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, fatigue, or those recovering from illness who want to support tissue oxygenation and recovery.

  • Expected results

    An improved sense of energy, better exercise tolerance and supported recovery over a course of sessions during your stay.

How it works

Raising the oxygen concentration of the air you breathe increases the oxygen saturation of your blood and the amount of oxygen available to the tissues. Better tissue oxygenation supports cellular metabolism, physical stamina and the body's recovery processes, especially where circulation or lung function is reduced.

  1. Prepare

    Duration:5 min

    You are seated or reclined and a nasal cannula or mask is fitted; the physician sets the flow.

  2. Breathe enriched air

    Duration:20–30 min

    You rest — or perform light activity where prescribed — while breathing oxygen-enriched air.

  3. Return to your day

    You continue your programme; there is no downtime.

A typical course is 10–15 sessions over a 2–3 week stay.

Frequently asked

Questions about oxygen therapy

Answers to the questions our guests ask most about this treatment.

About this treatment

  • For most guests it is very safe. A few conditions — notably severe COPD with carbon-dioxide retention — need medical clearance first, which is why our resident physician reviews your health before the first session.

  • Many guests report feeling more energetic and less fatigued over a course of sessions. It is a supportive therapy, given as part of a wider programme rather than in isolation.

  • No referral is required. Our physician assesses your suitability on arrival.

Your stay

  • At some resorts it is offered as light oxygen-assisted activity. Our coordinator will tell you what is available and tailor it to your fitness.
