Following its success in Paris, Villa M has set up shop in the heart of Marseille, just a stone’s throw from Prado Beach. This second establishment from the Pasteur Mutualité Group embodies a new vision of hospitality, combining high-end hotels, integrative health, sports, and wellness. Conceived by Thierry Lorente, CEO of the group, and Amanda Lehmann, designer-creator of Villa M and Director of Strategy, this hybrid venue is fully in line with a holistic approach to health and better living. It is a place that breaks the mold and reinvents the hotel of tomorrow.
Inaugurated in June 2025, Villa M Marseille is intended to be an extension of the Pasteur Mutualité group’s flagship building, the Villa M in Paris, with its green façade opening onto Boulevard Pasteur in 2021. The aim is to offer a hybrid space where hospitality converges with the challenges of health and innovation.
Villa M: a new generation of socially responsible hotels
A few steps from the Old Port, in the heart of a rapidly changing neighborhood, Villa M Marseille, formerly Villa Massalia, is opening its doors. This new living space, designed as a hotel but conceived above all as a wellness center, extends the vision of the Pasteur Mutualité group that began with Villa M in Paris: to create spaces where health, hospitality, and innovation intersect. “We believe that health also depends on the living environment, the quality of the welcome, the presence of life and human interaction,” explains Thierry Lorente, the group’s CEO.
The choice of Marseille is no coincidence. “It is a dynamic Mediterranean city undergoing rapid transformation, but still marked by profound inequalities. Opening a place like Villa M here is a way of contributing to a form of urban renaissance,” continues the CEO. The hotel aims to offer an inclusive, welcoming experience that is open to the city: a coworking and play area for adults and children, a health bookshop, a locavore café-restaurant, designer rooms, treatment areas… everything is designed to reconnect individuals with themselves and their environment.
