An insurance receipt can be provided for the massage package, but not for the “Cocon Marin”, “Aux portes du désert” or “Aux portes des Indes” body treatments.

At the beginning of a massage or body treatment, you receive a warm welcome into a relaxing environment where you will be given five minutes to settle in and prepare for relaxation. You will then enjoy some deep muscle relaxation and some well-earned pampering thanks to a range of massage types available including Californian and Shiatsu.

The body treatments performed are relaxing, but leave you invigorated. During the Cocon Marin (Aqua Cocoon) body treatment–including body scrub, wrap, exfoliation and body sculpting with products from the Phytomer range–a beauty therapist gently exfoliates the skin to stimulate the epidermis. Then, a marine wrap (customized to the needs of each client) is applied to the whole body, followed by a gentle heat that helps to relax a tense body and mind, and activates the product for better absorption. Finally, a complete body sculpting tones and moisturizes the skin.

The first of two exclusive Charme d’Orient treatments, Aux portes du Désert (At the Edge of the Desert) is a luxurious and mineral-replenishing treatment consisting of a Berber grain body scrub and a white mask, honey and Royal jelly wrap: known for its regenerative properties. All this is rounded off with an Eastern-inspired body sculpting with moisturizing Karité butter.

Finally, the Aux portes des Indes (At the Edge of the Indes) body treatment is a true escape to the land of colour and spices. It begins with a body scrub with purifying and nourishing organic chickpeas, and a wrap in sesame, honey and Royal jelly. This invigorating treatment is rounded off with an Eastern-inspired sesame-oil body sculpting.
