SERENITY – THE ART OF WELL BEING CELEBRATES ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Published

4 months ago

on

Serenity – The Art of Well Being is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, marking a decade devoted to the art of caring, to continuous innovation and to building a new vision of well-being. Over the past ten years, the brand has established itself as one of Portugal’s most prestigious names in the world of luxury well-being, distinguished by an approach that elevates well-being to its fullest, most transformative expression.

Founded in the Algarve in 2016, Serenity embarked on a journey defined by sustained growth and a relentless pursuit of excellence, expanding its presence both nationally and internationally to destinations such as Lisbon, Cascais and Dubai. In 2024, the brand marked a significant milestone in its international expansion with the opening of Serenity at Fairmont The Palm, Dubai, bringing its distinctive approach to well-being to one of the city’s most iconic destinations. In 2026, Serenity is preparing to open three new spaces – two in Portugal and one in Dubai – reinforcing its mission to make deeply meaningful well-being experiences increasingly accessible across different geographies.

More than a spa, Serenity represents an integrated 360° well-being ecosystem, designed to meet the physical, mental and emotional needs of the contemporary individual. Its offering brings together complementary concepts such as ACTIVE by Serenity, dedicated to movement, performance and recovery, and the healthy restaurant ZEST, where mindful nutrition plays a central role in promoting health and vitality.

In a decade marked by profound shifts in the way we understand self-care, Serenity has stood out for its ability to anticipate and set trends, introducing new concepts and innovative approaches to the national market. From longevity to physical recovery, from health optimisation to nervous system regulation, the brand has continually integrated experiences and therapies that address the challenges of modern life, fostering a deeper balance between body and mind. Intravenous therapies, ice baths and specialised recovery programmes are just some examples of a vision that sees well-being not as an isolated moment, but as a continuous and conscious practice woven into clients’ lifestyles.

Today, more than ever, true luxury lies in the ability to slow down, recover, reconnect and invest in one’s own health. It is within this space of balance, presence and longevity that Serenity continues to assert its identity, creating experiences designed to restore energy, promote mental clarity and cultivate a lasting state of well-being.

“We celebrate these ten years with deep gratitude and a sense of purpose, proud of a journey shaped by our ability to anticipate the future of well-being. This path has been built by the team members, partners and clients who believed in our vision from day one and who, every day, entrust us with their well-being. Throughout this decade, we have sought to contribute to a new way of living well – more integrated, more conscious and profoundly human. More than following trends, our commitment has always been to create transformative experiences that bring physical and mental health together and enable people to care for themselves in a genuine and sustainable way. It was with the conviction that well-being has the power to change the way we live that we built Serenity – The Art of Well Being. After a decade of continuous innovation, that purpose is more alive than ever. We look to the years ahead with a strong ambition to grow, determined to keep redefining the standards of excellence and to lead the future of this industry,” says Maria d’Orey, Founder & Global Director of Serenity.

Internationally recognised through numerous awards and a reference in the well-being and hospitality sectors, Serenity has been honoured over the past decade, among others, at the World Luxury Spa Awards, with distinctions including World’s Best Luxury Wellness Centre and World’s Best Spa Development Group.

10 Years | 10 Days | 10 Offers Campaign

As it celebrates its 10th anniversary, Serenity is turning the tables and sharing the gifts with those who matter most: its clients. Because the best way to celebrate is to share the journey with those who have always been there, the brand has created an exclusive July campaign: 10 days filled with 10 well-being experiences. The anniversary line-up includes unmissable offers such as complimentary access to the pool and beach, 50% off on the Matcha menu at Mashrabiya lounge, personalised physical assessments and a complimentary experience in the Aurum Suite when booking a couple’s treatment, among many others. Prior reservations are required through the spa WhatsApp number.

This initiative marks the start of a special anniversary program that reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to the evolution of well-being and to creating experiences that are ever more emotional, conscious and personalised.

Qatar Airways today unveiled its new onboard signature music, created in partnership with world-renowned composer Hans Zimmer.

Inspired by Qatar and its culture, Qatar Airways’ new onboard music brings a distinctive sound identity to the passenger experience through its collaboration with the iconic composition of Hans Zimmer. The music is also featured on the ‘Burgundy Symphony’ album, a bespoke five-track album that encapsulates the airline’s wider sound identity and signature sound elements.

The collaboration brings together Zimmer’s acclaimed cinematic storytelling and Qatar Airways’ commitment to delivering memorable experiences, creating a recognisable sound that reflects the emotions, moments and memories that define travel.

The launch was celebrated at Hans Zimmer’s highly-anticipated concert in Doha on 6 November, where audiences were given an exclusive first look at the story behind the collaboration through a specially created film on the creative process and inspiration behind Burgundy Symphony, alongside a preview of the music. Qatar Airways passengers can experience the new composition onboard from today.

The Burgundy Symphony album captures the rhythm of travel through five original tracks, each reflecting a different stage of the journey:

Dawn opens the collection with a sense of anticipation and possibility experienced when stepping beyond the daily routine and discovering new horizons.

Dusk reflects the tranquillity of flight as daylight fades and travellers are carried above the clouds beneath a sky illuminated by stars.

The Orchard introduces a restorative pause, inspired by moments of calm and reflection amidst the pace of everyday life. The inspiration for the composition is drawn from the sense of escape offered by the ORCHARD – one of Hamad International Airport’s most distinctive passenger experiences.

Homecoming reflects the quiet gift of returning home and the small but lasting ways travel enriches life. The track encapsulates the adventure continues beyond touchdown, with memories of places and skies keeping moments of wonder alive long after the journey ends.

An Ode to Qatar, concludes the album with a tribute to the nation’s rich heritage and forward-looking vision. The piece brings together a sense of history, culture, and ambition, reflecting a country where tradition and progress exist in harmony.

Following the unveiling, Burgundy Symphony is now available on the Qatar Airways YouTube channel, inviting audiences around the world to experience Hans Zimmer’s original compositions inspired by the journey of travel and the spirit of Qatar Airways.

Coral Beach Resort Sharjah has won the Sustain Sharjah award for Hotel Properties at the Sharjah International Travel and Tourism Forum 2026, organised by the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA). This marks the resort’s second consecutive recognition under the initiative.

The accolade acknowledges the property’s progress at Level 2 of the programme’s Explorers journey, structured around four core pillars: Guest, Experience, Local, and Story. Across each pillar, the resort has prioritised measurable, practical measures that engage guests, support the surrounding community, and ensure transparent sustainability reporting.

Central to this achievement are three primary operational initiatives:

  • Onsite water bottling plant: Replaces single-use plastics with reusable glass bottles, eliminating approximately 300,672 plastic bottles annually.
  • Winnow AI food-waste system: Weighs and monitors kitchen waste in real time, enabling culinary teams to curb excess directly at source.
  • Onsite biodigester: Installed in 2026, making the property the first hotel in Sharjah to process organic waste entirely on site.

Commenting on the achievement, Iftikhar Hamdani, Area General Manager of Coral Beach Resort Sharjah, said: “Securing the Sustain Sharjah award for the second consecutive year is an honour for our entire team. Initiatives such as our water bottling plant, AI-driven waste monitoring, and onsite biodigester reflect our daily operational commitment—one shared with our guests, partners, and the local community. We thank the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority for this recognition and for their steady leadership in advancing sustainable tourism across the emirate.”
