Refresh. Rejuvenate. Rebalance.
The Serenity Experience
A leading Kenyan wellness and beauty brand dedicated to helping people reconnect with their body, mind and overall wellbeing.
Since 2013
Serenity Spa is a leading Kenyan wellness and beauty brand dedicated to helping people reconnect with their body, mind and overall wellbeing. Founded in Nairobi in 2013 by Petra Somen, Serenity was created from a simple belief: a spa should be more than a place to have a treatment. It should be a sanctuary — a place where people can slow down, breathe, feel cared for and leave feeling better than when they arrived.
Today, Serenity has grown into a multi-location wellness business with four beautiful sanctuaries in Gigiri, Kitisuru, Karen and Tigoni, each offering its own unique environment while maintaining the same Serenity standards and philosophy.
We believe true wellbeing comes from caring for the whole person. Our approach brings together relaxation, beauty, therapeutic treatments, advanced aesthetics, grooming and wellness experiences in an environment designed to provide calm, privacy and exceptional personal service.

A Holistic Approach to Wellness
Serenity has evolved with the changing needs of our clients.
While relaxation remains at the heart of what we do, today's Serenity increasingly sits at the intersection of wellness, beauty, recovery, aesthetics and preventative self-care.
We continue to introduce new technologies and treatments while maintaining the importance of human touch, highly trained therapists and genuine client care.
This includes advanced technologies such as body contouring and skin treatments, alongside traditional massages, facials and holistic therapies.
Our aim is not simply to offer more treatments, but to create personalised wellness journeys that respond to what each client needs at different stages of their life.

Our People
People are at the heart of Serenity.
From the beginning, founder Petra Somen has placed a strong emphasis on training, developing and mentoring people to the highest possible standards. We believe that exceptional client experiences come from exceptional people.
Our investment in training goes beyond technical treatment skills. We place importance on professionalism, presentation, etiquette, communication, body language, client care and creating a consistent Serenity experience.
This commitment to people is one of the foundations on which Serenity has built its reputation.
Serenity Beauty Training College
Our commitment to education has grown into Serenity Beauty Training College (SBTC), an ITEC-focused beauty training institution designed to develop the next generation of professional beauty and wellness therapists.
The college reflects one of Serenity's core beliefs: we should not only provide excellent therapists — we should help create them.
Through education, practical training and professional development, SBTC aims to give students the technical skills, confidence and professional standards required to build successful careers in the beauty and wellness industry.
Our Products — Jani Beauty
Serenity has also developed its own beauty identity through Jani Beauty, a product line used within our treatments and offered to clients for home care.
Jani supports our philosophy of extending the Serenity experience beyond the treatment room and helping clients continue their skincare and self-care routines at home.
Our Commitment to Innovation
Serenity has never stood still.
As the wellness and beauty industry evolves, we continue to invest in new treatments, technology, education and experiences that can genuinely add value to our clients.
Our journey has moved from traditional spa treatments towards a broader understanding of wellness — incorporating advanced aesthetics, recovery, skin health, body treatments and new wellness technologies.
We are constantly exploring what is next while remaining grounded in what has always made Serenity special: people, service, environment and care.
Our Four Sanctuaries
Gigiri
Our flagship sanctuary, located close to the United Nations, offering a peaceful retreat within one of Nairobi's most international neighbourhoods.

What We Stand For
Our Vision
To be a world-class spa and holistic healing centre that provides premier wellness services, experiences and education to clients globally.
Our Mission
To enhance the interconnectedness of Body, Mind and Soul by creating a refreshing, rejuvenating and rebalanced atmosphere through world-class products, highly trained therapists and exceptional service.
Refresh. Rejuvenate. Rebalance.
This is more than a tagline. It represents what we want every client to experience when they come to Serenity.
Refresh
Step away from the demands of everyday life.
Rejuvenate
Restore your body, skin, energy and confidence.
Rebalance
Leave feeling calmer, healthier and more connected to yourself.
Looking Ahead
Serenity's ambition is to continue evolving from a successful day spa into a recognised African wellness brand.
Our future lies in bringing together the best of traditional wellness, beauty, advanced aesthetics, technology, education and personalised client care.
We want Serenity to be known not simply for beautiful spas and excellent treatments, but for changing how people think about their wellbeing.
After more than a decade of growth, our purpose remains remarkably simple:
To make people feel better.
Whether someone comes to Serenity for an hour of relaxation, an advanced facial, a therapeutic treatment, a beauty service, a wellness experience or a complete day of self-care, we want them to leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and rebalanced.
That is the Serenity Experience.
