Siiyam is an exclusive clinic dedicated to supervised fasting, longevity, and the profound rebalancing of body and mind. In an exceptional setting, every detail is designed for your safety, comfort, and inner transformation.

Your Accommodation

Welcome to the Hôtel Palafitte — a retreat dedicated to your well-being

‍
From the privacy of our stilted pavilions, your stay becomes a true moment of respite. Facing the lake, every moment invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with what truly matters.

As part of your fasting programme, the environment has been designed to support the body’s natural recovery process and the clarification of the mind. Gentle walks, rest, personalised support or silent contemplation: everyone moves at their own pace, in tune with their needs.

Surrounded by water, nature and open horizons, a sense of balance gradually takes hold. The tranquillity of the setting encourages inner reflection, whilst the unobtrusive comfort allows you to enjoy this experience in complete serenity.

Lakefront chalets
‍
With a floor area of 58 m² and a private terrace of 10 m², they offer a bright, airy space opening out onto the water. A small ladder provides direct access to the lake from the terrace, inviting you, depending on your schedule and preferences, to enjoy a gentle and invigorating connection with nature. The Hôtel Palafitte welcomes you as an extension of your treatment — with care, gentleness and respect for each guest’s pace.

The Medical Centre

The DOREA Medical Centre — medical expertise at the heart of your SIIYAM experience

The DOREA Medical Centre serves as the clinical extension of your SIIYAM stay. Located in the immediate vicinity of the centre, it brings together a multidisciplinary team of doctors and specialists dedicated to assessing, monitoring and optimising your physiological balance throughout the programme.

Each programme begins with a thorough medical assessment designed to understand the metabolic and physiological balance specific to your body. This analysis helps identify areas for improving your health and allows us to tailor therapeutic and support protocols precisely to your needs.

Thanks to this personalised approach, each participant benefits from rigorous medical supervision, attentive to their biological rhythm and the specific needs of their body, in an environment conducive to recovery and revitalisation.

The DOREA Medical Centre combines preventive medicine, integrative physiology, advanced assessment technologies and clinical expertise to support the body’s natural self-regulatory and regenerative mechanisms, optimise metabolic functions and promote a profound and lasting physiological rebalancing.

Continuity between medical care and the therapeutic environment
‍
The consultations, examinations and treatments provided at the centre blend seamlessly into your SIIYAM experience, ensuring optimal continuity between medical support, the wellness environment and the body’s natural regenerative processes.

The Region

Between the lake, the vineyards and the first foothills of the Jura, the Neuchâtel region is a natural extension of your stay. Lakeside walks, wine-growing villages, watchmaking heritage and views of the Alps: so many invitations to explore, at the pace of your programme.
