transforms lives with its brand of the Mayr cure
BY PARINEETA SETHIBETTER
THAN EVER!
H
aving heard praises galore
from everyone about
VIVAMAYR Medical Centre
in Austria, I had begun to wonder
what made it so special. After a
quick look at the website and a bit of
research, I discover that it is not only
a favourite with Indian A-listers but
also with global bigwigs, be they from
the fashion, corporate or glamour
industries. So, my husband and I
decide to book our tickets and check-in
to the clinic to find out for ourselves.
This means taking time off work!
I take six days off, but am informed by
the health resort that it takes at least
three weeks, or a minimum of 10 days,
for results to show. Well, something is
better than nothing.
After a long but smooth flight, we
land in Vienna, from where we are to
be driven to Altaussee (alternatively,
you can fly to Salzburg, which is closer
to the resort, but there are no direct
flights from Delhi yet). We reach
VIVAMAYR in just under three hours,
and, I have to say, my first glimpse of
the place does not impress me much.
Its wooden exterior has a rustic look to
it, but it doesn’t have that ‘wow’ factor.
