The art of the game by Apnée
This project was born from the meeting of two Mediterranean people with strong temperaments who share a love of beautiful things and the stories hidden behind them.
Handmade in a workshop in Marseille , from noble bio-sourced materials, of French origin, these beach rackets are high-end objects of art, but no less efficient for sports practice. The little extra for maximum refinement: combine the snowshoes with the 100% Zellige printed swim shorts.
Zellige swim shorts - 125€ Travel through the senses without breaking the bank
It’s the signature of a place where you feel good. A place of sharing, of indulgence, of pleasure. A place where inspiration comes.
Like the Apnée pieces, everything is detail, from the container with its sober and refined line, the cotton wicks, the choice of a delicious and natural wax. Then, the oils which make up the base of the perfumes, also selected without compromise. Elegance is essential. Each candle is an invitation to travel in itself.
Our favorites: Patchouli Ibiza and Amber Madagascar
Scented candle 220g - 55€A 100% recycled Apnea backpack

Adopt a coral
Coral Guardian , one of the two associations that we support, invites you to adopt a coral. To do this, nothing could be simpler, choose the geographical area, personalize your certificate with the name of the person to whom you wish to offer it and receive a newsletter twice a year with news concerning the area where your adopted coral is located. .
An ecological and original gift that restores color to the ocean . Better than plastic toys, right?
Adopt a coral in Spain - €45 (i.e. €15.30 after tax deduction).
Offer an experience to live
Giving an experience is the greatest gift!
Treat yourself with entertaining, pampering, gourmet, cultural or relaxing activities and check the boxes on the “list of things to do before you die” for the person you love.
A getaway to Portugal at Six Senses Douro
The Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas hotel group, with which we have been collaborating since 2018, is a benchmark in responsible luxury hospitality , committing in all of its establishments to establishing a sustainable development policy.
One of their most beautiful hotels is located in Portugal in the Douro Valley, a few hours from where the Apnée manufacturing workshops are located. Vine-covered hills with a backdrop of the majestic Douro River, a beautifully renovated 19th-century mansion with stunning gardens , woods and grand panoramas .
The city of Porto, as well as charming heritage villages and other popular destinations in Portugal, are nearby. There is no bad time to visit the Douro Valley, as it always offers something that should pique your interest. The holidays and the seasons are accompanied by wood fires and sunny moments.
A holistic treatment with Anne-Sophie
Holistic therapy is a medicine that takes into account the patient as a whole, that is to say both the body and the mind .
Anne-Sophie left everything behind, after 20 years in fashion as a communications director, to find meaning and harmony in her life. She turned to well-being , a personal quest which later revealed itself as a vocation.
She practices three types of care:
- naturopathy to rebalance vitality,
- facial massages to relax the features,
- and madero therapy , a massage technique using wooden tools aimed at draining and sculpting the silhouette.
To book, just send him a DM on his Instagram account: @asm_holistic
Giving is an art for some, a whole story for others.
