The way the world thinks about health is changing.

Across the globe, people are investing more in prevention, longevity, personalised medicine and experiences designed to improve both healthspan and quality of life. The global wellness economy reached approximately **US$6.8 trillion in 2024** and is projected to approach **US$9.8 trillion by 2029**, while wellness tourism remains one of the fastest-growing sectors within the broader wellness economy.

Medical tourism is experiencing similarly powerful growth. Increasing healthcare costs, greater access to specialist expertise internationally, and the ability to combine treatment with premium travel experiences are driving more people to seek medical care beyond their home countries. One recent industry estimate valued the global medical tourism market at **US$38.2 billion in 2025**, with substantial growth projected over the coming decade.

Annukara brings these two rapidly expanding worlds together.

We create fully personalised health, longevity and medical tourism journeys that combine advanced diagnostics, preventative medicine, carefully selected specialist medical access, luxury wellness, exceptional hospitality and bespoke travel experiences.

Our philosophy is simple:

**Driven by science. Supported by clinical data. Measured by outcomes.**

Every Annukara journey is individually designed around the client. From comprehensive health assessments and personalised longevity programmes to introductions to leading doctors and specialists, luxury accommodation, private transport, curated local experiences and dedicated concierge support, we manage the complete journey from beginning to end.

Cape Town provides an exceptional environment for this new generation of health travel.

It combines a sophisticated private healthcare sector with internationally recognised tourism, premium hospitality, natural beauty, exceptional food and wine, and a broad range of lifestyle and wellness experiences.

The city’s global tourism credentials are well established. Cape Town was named **Time Out’s Best City in the World for 2025** and was also voted **Best City in the World in the 2025 Telegraph Travel Awards**.

For the international health traveller, Cape Town offers a particularly compelling combination:

**World-class private medical care.  

Advanced diagnostics and preventative health.  

Internationally experienced doctors and specialists.  

Luxury accommodation and hospitality.  

Extraordinary nature, food, wine and tourism experiences.  

And highly competitive value compared with many major international healthcare and luxury travel markets.**

This creates the opportunity to transform what might traditionally have been a medical appointment, treatment or health assessment into something considerably more valuable — a complete health and destination experience.

Annukara manages the entire experience around the individual.

A guest may arrive in Cape Town for an advanced health and longevity assessment, specialist medical treatment, dental procedure, fertility programme, aesthetic surgery or executive health evaluation — and combine this with personalised wellness, luxury accommodation, recovery support, private transport, exceptional dining, the Cape Winelands, coastal experiences, nature and safari.

The result is a new approach to medical and wellness tourism:

**Exceptional healthcare combined with exceptional experiences.**

**Annukara — One Seamless Journey Toward Optimal Health, Longevity and Extraordinary Living.**

Whether you are seeking to understand and optimise your health, access specialist medical expertise, improve performance, invest in longevity or combine medical care with an exceptional destination experience, Annukara will create a journey designed around you.
