BODY TAILOR MONACO: A Wellness Signature That Travels From Studio to Superyacht
Inside the Monaco concept bringing its tailored approach to movement, recovery and skin health on board, without ever losing sight of home
In a city where the harbour is as much a way of life as the streets, it was only a matter of time before wellness followed the water. Body Tailor Monaco, founded by Gabriela Mănescu, has built its reputation on a simple idea: that true wellbeing cannot be generalised, only tailored. Now, that philosophy is extending beyond the studio walls and onto the deck.
Body Tailor’s home remains its headquarters studio in Monaco: the foundation of everything the brand does, and the base from which every practitioner, protocol and philosophy originates. It’s here that the brand’s signature, fully tailored programme was developed: a proprietary approach to movement, recovery, skin health and self-care that treats each not as a separate service, but as part of one interconnected experience designed entirely around the individual. It’s a concept no one else in Monaco… or beyond is offering in quite the same way.
What’s new is where that expertise can now travel. For clients living the yachting lifestyle, Body Tailor brings its treatments and training on board, adapting its signature programme to life at sea without compromising on the precision it’s known for on land. Whether it’s a recovery protocol after a day of watersports, a facial ritual before an evening at anchor, or a full movement session on deck, the same tailored philosophy applies; just with the horizon as the backdrop instead of the studio.
That dual identity —deeply rooted in a Monaco headquarters, yet fluent in the rhythms of yacht life—, is what makes Body Tailor distinct. The studio remains where the expertise is built: practitioners trained in specialised techniques by leading experts and partner brands including Biologique Recherche and Omorovicza, protocols like lymphatic drainage, the Manuela Shala Method, Kobido and Intra-Buccal Massage, and a Lagree studio offering one of the most effective low-impact, high-intensity training methods available today. Life on board is where that same expertise adapts to a different setting, for clients who want their wellness to move with them.
Mănescu says:
“Wellness is not simply a treatment, It is a lifestyle
For Body Tailor, that lifestyle now spans both worlds, the studio that built the brand, and the yachts its clients call home for part of the year. As the brand continues to grow, including a planned series of Body Tailor pop-ups featuring its own merchandise and activewear, one thing stays constant: wellness, curated and tailored to you, wherever you are.
