Visitors can unwind in the rich Asian-inspired surroundings and feel completely removed from their everyday lives.”

“Keep warm this winter with a blues-busting, morale-boosting trip to a spa in Brussels.

Serendip Spa

This one of Brussels’s most renowned spas, Serendip Spa & Yoga is a luxurious holistic wellness centre situated in the heart of Brussels. When you enter, you’re immediately enveloped in an oriental-inspired atmosphere. Named after the old name for Sri Lanka, they offer traditional and specialised therapies using ancient techniques derived from century-old traditions and ancient wisdom from Asia. Space also has yoga classes for Hatha, Iyengar and vinyasa yoga.”

“Urban Oasis at Serendip Spa:

Proving that an oasis of peace can do wonders for the inhabitants of a bustling metropolis, Serendip Spa has garnered a loyal clientele in the heart of Brussels. Serendip (one of the ancient names of Sri Lanka and the root of the word ‘serendipity’) aims to relax visitors by working on their senses as soon as they set foot in the door. Colors have been chosen to soothe, aromatic whiffs of essential oils enter the nostrils, cell phones are shut off and a welcome tea calms the stomach before starting the Orient-inspired treatment. Serendip also offers yoga classes in a sunlit atelier to de-stress any city bug.”

“Un petit coin de paradis

Serendip Spa & Yoga est un centre de bien-être holistique de luxe, situé à Bruxelles, à une centaine de mètres du rond-point Stéphanie. A peine les portes franchies, je sens directement que je pénètre dans un havre de paix, un cocon à l'ambiance zen et à la décoration orientale chaleureuse. Le personnel est souriant et aux petits soins. Immédiatement, je sens la pression redescendre. Sur place, je peux profiter du studio de yoga où sont organisés de nombreux cours collectifs ou particuliers et me faire chouchouter à l'institut, situé un étage plus bas, qui propose toute une série de soins spécialisés utilisant des techniques anciennes issues de traditions centenaires.”

“Melissa Rancourt, Co-founder of Serendipity Wellness and Belgian-based Serendip Spa, and a speaker today, said the Middle East’s proximity to the Far East and Europe creates a perfect supply and demand scenario where new innovations can be launched.

“The Middle East can be a great leader in demonstrating new offerings and ideas to the global wellness industry,” said Rancourt. “An interesting area to explore could be the ability to create repeatable business, loyal customers and a recognisable brand by creating an international path between spas in the Middle East and other parts of the world. The Middle East could pioneer innovative ways to do this through joint ventures, new technology, and customer focus.”

“If you’re looking for a way to stay in shape in Brussels, there are plenty of places that can help take care of your fitness and wellbeing

Wellness in all aspects of life is the philosophy of Melissa Rancourt, the American engineer and entrepreneur who took over the luxury Brussels spa Serendip with an associate two years ago. Authenticity is guaranteed here: all therapists have the same origins as the treatments they provide, be it Tibet, Nepal, Bali or Thailand. This has led to strong links with communities in these countries, allied with a positive presence in Rancourt’s adopted country; events such as vintage clothing sales for charity and evenings supporting emerging artists are a regular feature on the Serendip calendar. Group yoga and meditation sessions are given in a converted print shop with a bank of sloping windows at one end. Though it’s handily placed on Place Stephanie, you’ll feel safely cocooned from city life as you enjoy, for example, a candlelit yoga session while the rain beats down outside. The vast range of therapies extends to fast-track shoulder massage, mother and baby treatments, reflexology, fingertip eye lifts and treatments for tired feet, hands and hair. Corporate and social groups can hire the centre for a day of tailored rejuvenation and meditation; couples can indulge themselves with a five-hour ultimate relaxation package.”
