La Maison d’Estournel inaugurates its well-being yurt: a holistic retreat in the heart of the Médoc
In a world saturated with over-designed experiences, La Maison d’Estournel opts for a sober but profound retreat. Its new project: a wellness yurt set in the shade of its century-old grounds, two hours from Paris. Neither gadget nor marketing fantasy, this circular structure is a serious invitation to reconnect, between Mongolian tradition and scientific expertise.
A yurt at the service of healthcare
In the world of luxury wellness, it’s sometimes necessary to surprise without overdoing it. The yurt unveiled in June 2025 by Maison d’Estournel achieves this delicate equation: organic structure, hushed ambience, precise protocol. Conceived as a sensory refuge, it is home to a short but cutting-edge range of treatments designed to slow down, loosen up and revitalize.
The Nescens signature, a Swiss company specializing in anti-aging, is omnipresent. Here, you’ll discover not only an energizing facial treatment, but also a body & face massage that combines clinical techniques with enveloping gestures. A rare balance between proven effectiveness and immediate relaxation.
Between ritual and performance
The approach is clear: no oversized spa or pseudo-zenifying gadgetry here. The yurt houses targeted massages – dorso, facio-cranial, shiatsu, muscular – that take the time to work in depth, without giving in to the fashion for immediate relaxation. The relaxing massage, the star of the menu, is a gentle yet profound journey through the body.
Each treatment is personalized, adapted to the physical and emotional state of the moment. This is the philosophy of Michel Reybier Hospitality, whose approach is to combine well-being, the art of living and preventive health.
A setting far removed from traditional spa codes
The charm is also due to the place’s discretion and sincerity. La Maison d’Estournel, a former 19th-century bourgeois house converted into a confidential hotel, has the ambiance of a chic private residence. Warm-toned swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness room, 14 rooms decorated by Alex Michaelis… every detail invites you to slow down without sacrificing comfort.
Nestled among the vineyards of Saint-Estèphe, just a few minutes from Château Cos d’Estournel, the property is the setting for a refined, country-style lifestyle that’s far removed from conventional hotel standards.
