Precision wellness across the Mediterranean
Acquiring Europe's Wellness Heritage
We acquire and operate established wellness businesses across the Mediterranean - spas, clinics, boutique hotels, and wellness brands—partnering with investors to build a diversified portfolio that honors tradition while creating lasting value.
THE MEDITERRANEAN WELLNESS OPPORTUNITY
The Côte d'Azur and broader Mediterranean coast have been Europe's premier wellness destination for over a century. From Belle Époque grand hotels to thermal spas and thalassotherapy centers, this region built the foundation of modern wellness hospitality. Today, many of these businesses face a generational transition - aging owners, under-capitalization, operational challenges. Yet demand for wellness travel has never been stronger. We acquire these established businesses, preserve their heritage and relationships, and reposition them for contemporary wellness travelers - while providing owners with dignified exits and ensuring continuity for teams and communities.
