Imagine a place filled with green pastures along a granite outcrop, 15 miles of hiking trails, friendly farm animals, and the singsong of birds just 30 minutes from the world’s busiest airport. Tucked away in Chattahoochee Hills, the luxe, 1,000-acre countryside community of Serenbe literally translates to “be serene” – and it champions health, wellness, and wholesome living. Soak in the hot tub, dry off on a rocking chair while enjoying a good book, or spend the afternoon playing a game of croquet at The Inn at Serenbe. It’s not only a boutique bed-and-breakfast – it’s a place to sit back, relax, and soak in the calmness of the surroundings.

Walk or drive your personal golf cart around Serenbe’s many hamlets, each focusing on a different aspect of life. The wellbeing-focused hamlet, Mado, offers a state-of-the-art gym, fitness classes, a yoga studio, and a newly expanded 3,198-square-foot spa where you can detox and renew. Try a massage, body wrap, or facial using organic and holistic health care products, and feel your stress melt away at the Helo Infrared sauna and steam rooms. On Saturday mornings, enjoy connecting with Nigerian Dwarf goats at fun-loving goat yoga classes. The human-animal interaction will bring you lots of laughter and release endorphins. Also, a trail ride along the rolling hills and winding paths of Serenbe on horseback is a great way to get outside in nature, stretch your muscles, and bond with Serenbe Trail Riding’s gentle horses and skilled wranglers.

Kids ages 3-12 will find the programs at Camp Serenbe educational, entertaining, and socially stimulating. From animal feedings, scavenger hunts, hayrides, and nature walks to canoeing, archery, and building campsites, there are plenty of organized activities to keep young travelers busy all summer long.

At Serenbe, you will have plenty of ways to nourish yourself with certified organic foods sourced from Serenbe Farms and served at farm-to-table restaurants – The Farmhouse at Serenbe and The Hill Restaurant. Over 60,000 pounds of produce are harvested from the farm each year and thoughtfully incorporated into the restaurants’ menus by Celebrity Chef Nicolas Bour. Take a behind-the-scenes, guided farm tour on Saturday afternoons to learn about organic farming, pest and disease control, composting, cover cropping, crop rotation, and the importance of eating locally grown produce.

On Saturdays, from April to October, gather with community residents and visitors on the Grange Green for the weekly Serenbe Farmers Market. Here, you can purchase fresh vegetables and flowers, pasture-raised eggs, artisanal olive oils, jams and jellies, handmade arts and crafts, and eco-conscious products to take home.
