Top spas breaks in Cannes

Where to relax and pamper yourself in Cannes
Featured in: News & Reviews Pam Williamson, Cannes Editor Published

Before Cannes became the glamorous city of celebrity and superyachts we all know and love, it was thought of as a health retreat, and that legacy continues today. 

The local spas certainly know how to make the most of the gentle Mediterranean climate, local Alpine spring water and sparkling sea. With so many grand hotels, you can expect some very ritzy facilities and some breathtaking views from the massage bed.

In a town full of spas, here is our round-up of some of the best to be found in Cannes. We thoroughly recommend that you book well ahead.

L. Raphael Spa at the Hotel Martinez

Unwind in Cannes. Best spas for 2019

Deep in the heart of the ultra-luxury Hotel Martinez, you will find the tranquil haven of L. Raphael Spa. A whole floor of this Belle Epoque hotel has been dedicated purely to beauty and wellbeing. With a soothing, softly lit décor brightened with splashes of signature burnt orange, this 900m2 spa is the place to go for exclusive treatments with oxygen and white truffle extract. A calming tea on the lush garden terrace only magnifies the feeling of rich indulgence and sublime serenity of this spa facility. With so many Hollywood stars and supermodels choosing to stay here during the Cannes Film Festival, you can be sure that this is the place to get red-carpet ready.

The in-room massage

Unwind in Cannes - Best spas 2018

Another option is to get a masseuse to come to your hotel room or villa rather than going to a spa where the cost of the overheads will always push your treatment price up. Cannes has quite a lot of mobile masseuses such as Bertrand Poncet, who will come to your room with table, oils, music and everything they need to make your treatment blissful.
