Maison de la Sérénité is a wellness design studio that helps hospitality and real estate elevate their wellness offering.
We design the journey, the programme and the system behind a stay. One coherent system instead of a list of treatments, built so that something keeps working after the guest has gone.
We believe that the way we rest has changed. A change of scenery and a beautiful room are no longer enough. The guests who can go anywhere are looking for something a view cannot give them: to leave feeling different, and to stay that way.
That kind of change rarely comes from a single yoga class or a treatment menu. It comes from an atmosphere, the rhythm of the days, the spaces, the food, the people and the quiet details, designed together as one considered system. A place that invites a person to live differently for a while, and to take some of it home.
This is what Maison designs.
How it began
Maison de la Sérénité began in 2022 as a retreat company. We created retreats around the world in partnership with hotels, and learned, stay by stay, what it takes to bring a meaningful experience to life inside a property: the timing, the team, the spaces, and the small details that make it work.
Along the way we noticed how few properties were ready for this new kind of stay. The setting was often beautiful. The system behind it rarely existed. Today Maison works directly with hospitality and real estate to build it.
Julia Stelma has spent the past decade founding and running projects in health and wellness, and has her own private practice as a health coach.
“For years I struggled with my health, until I started treating it as a system, with every part of my life working together. Today I see the same problem in hospitality. Places want to offer wellbeing, even longevity, but without a system behind it, nothing lasts. This is the intention behind Maison today: to help properties build these systems.”
