UAE’s Longevium to open its first international clinic in Bali by 2027

Most of what is sold as longevity medicine is a menu of tests. That, at least, is the view of Dr Ksenia Butova, the physician who founded Longevium and is now taking her Dubai-built clinical model into Southeast Asia. The group has announced plans to open a 730-square-metre outpatient clinic in Bali in 2027, developed in a joint venture with Nuanu founder Sergey Solonin, at the coastal community of Nyanyi Beach near Tanah Lot.

The move is a direct extension of what Longevium has built in the UAE. Three Dubai clinics have collectively served more than 30,000 patients, and a fourth is planned for Abu Dhabi alongside a research laboratory at Dubai Science Park. Bali is the first step outside the Gulf, and it is a deliberate one. The island draws health-conscious international travellers, and Indonesia's medical and wellness tourism sector is forecast to more than double over the next decade. Medical tourism across Asia-Pacific is projected to grow at more than 26 percent annually through 2030.

The clinic's positioning is straightforward: patients should be able to plan their health programme in Dubai and continue it in Bali, or the other way around, without anything falling through the cracks. Memberships and dedicated access are planned for the Nuanu resident community, while visiting patients can build a medical programme around their stay rather than checking into a hospital or residential retreat.

How will it work?

The clinical model puts one physician at the centre of a continuing patient relationship, with personalised protocols built around the individual rather than a fixed treatment list. Supporting that relationship is Longevium's AI platform, developed by co-founder Sergey Shayakhmetov, who previously sold an AI medical company to a French pharmaceutical group before building the technology that now runs Longevium's clinics.

The platform holds a patient's full medical history, travels with the patient between locations, and is designed to surface what the physician needs to know at any given point. Patient records do not reset when someone flies home. The planned clinical offering in Bali includes:

• Advanced diagnostics and digital health modelling
• Robotic phlebotomy
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
• Personalised recovery protocols
• Regenerative therapies, subject to Indonesian regulatory approval

Programmes begin before the patient arrives and continue through Longevium's digital platform after they leave. For Nuanu residents, the clinic is designed to function as a long-term general practice, with a physician who knows the patient's history over time.

Why does it matter?

The announcement is notable because it connects two trends that have been moving independently. On one side, the Gulf's longevity medicine sector has matured quickly, driven partly by UAE and Saudi health initiatives that have pushed preventive and personalised care up the agenda. On the other, Southeast Asia's medical tourism market is expanding fast, and Bali in particular is attracting a wealthier, health-focused international resident and visitor base.

Longevium is betting that the next generation of international patients will not accept a trade-off between a desirable destination and serious medicine. So far, the evidence from the UAE suggests there is real demand for physician-led longevity care that goes beyond diagnostics. Whether that model translates to Bali will be the test.

The context

Longevium's expansion comes as the GCC's healthcare sector is increasingly looking outward. Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the UAE's own health transformation agenda have created a generation of clinics and health companies with capital, clinical infrastructure, and technology built to international standard. Some of those are now exporting their models, and Longevium appears to be among the first in the longevity segment to do so explicitly.

The Nuanu partnership is also worth watching. Nuanu Creative City is a large-scale coastal development bringing together residences, hospitality, wellness, education and creative studios. Embedding a physician-led clinic inside that kind of community, rather than building a standalone medical facility, reflects a broader shift in how health services are being delivered to mobile, internationally minded populations. It's a model that a number of GCC developers have explored at home. Longevium is now testing whether it travels.
