Sophie Agullana

Sophie Agullana is a self-made woman whose journey illustrates that with passion and vision, it is possible to reach the highest summits, even without following traditional academic paths. For her, studies are a valuable tool, but true success lies in inspiration, creativity, and the ability to transform every step, including setbacks, into growth.

With nearly thirty years of experience, marked by outstanding achievements as well as challenges that have only elevated her further, Sophie has built an international career at the crossroads of cultures. From the Caribbean to Europe, Africa, and Turkey, she has developed and restructured wellness concepts for some of the world’s most prestigious destinations.

In Geneva, she designed her first Day Spa business model in exclusivity with Valmont, the renowned Swiss cosmetic house, before collaborating with Kempinski and Clinique La Prairie on longevity and biohacking programs. She also contributed to the international growth of TheLifeCo, a pioneering wellness group founded in Turkey twenty years ago. In parallel, she created in Geneva a unique and innovative wellness concept in co-branding with English partners, a project she owns and that reflects her forward-thinking vision for the industry.

In France, at the heart of Burgundy’s epicurean culture, she launched an atypical Ayurvedic retreat center at Le Cep Hotel 5*, blending tradition with modern hospitality. In Morocco, she managed the spas of two iconic palaces, Es Saadi and Royal Mansour, further strengthening her intercultural and operational expertise.

A visionary at heart, Sophie believes that wellness must be rooted in local realities while embracing innovation and global excellence. She places great importance on training, transmission, and the valorization of traditional know-how.

At the Africa Wellness Congress, her contribution will highlight this conviction: wellness is universal, but it reveals its true power when it adapts, is shared, and takes root in every culture.
