Although Saint-Tropez is synonymous with iconic beaches and festive nights, the village also cultivates another clientele: those who come to recharge. Just steps from Place des Lices, Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez is enhancing its Spa by Clarins this summer · the brand’s only spa on the peninsula · with an exclusive treatment and two new signature rituals.
Between a “Nouvelle Vague” treatment designed in collaboration with the hotel and inspired by the Mediterranean, summer Indiba rituals, and new-technology protocols, this confidential address in the heart of the village is seriously boosting its wellness offering.
- The Spa by Clarins at Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez is the destination’s only Clarins spa, in the heart of the village.
- New: “Nouvelle Vague“, an exclusive signature treatment created with the hotel, combining a facial and body massage in a Mediterranean-inspired ritual.
- Summer rituals: in July, Indiba Facial + draining leg massage (90 mins) · in August, Japanese Lifting Facial · each ritual includes 2 hours of access to the facilities.
- Technology: Indiba ONA (hydrodermabrasion, LED, electrotherapy), pressotherapy, and LPG Cellu M6 Alliance.
- Open daily from 10 am to 8 pm, to both hotel guests and external visitors.
“Nouvelle Vague”, the exclusive treatment born from a meeting with Clarins
It is the house signature: “Nouvelle Vague”, an exclusive ritual at Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez, combines a facial and body massage in a sensory journey inspired by Mediterranean energy and the Tropezian art de vivre. Designed to deeply release tension and revive the face’s radiance, it perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the place: the dolce vita of the village, sheltered from its hustle and bustle.
Two signature rituals for the summer
The spa also approaches the summer in two phases. In July, the Indiba Facial is combined with a draining leg massage for a rejuvenating 90-minute interlude: Indiba technology restores the skin’s radiance, while the drainage provides a welcome feeling of lightness after a day under the Tropezian sun. In August, the Japanese Lifting Facial takes centre stage, a protocol inspired by ancestral Japanese techniques that redraws contours and stimulates tissue drainage. As a bonus, each ritual includes two hours of access to the facilities: hammam, sauna, sensory shower, and ice fountain.
New technologies: Indiba ONA, pressotherapy and Cellu M6
In addition to the therapists’ expert touch, a comprehensive technological suite is now available. The Indiba ONA facial treatment combines hydrodermabrasion, electroporation, LED, and low-frequency electrotherapy to purify, hydrate, and sculpt contours. Pressotherapy supports muscle recovery and relieves heavy legs, while the LPG Cellu M6 Alliance, designed for both face and body, targets firmness, drainage, and skin quality.
A cocoon open to the village
A hammam, sauna, sensory shower, ice fountain, and five treatment rooms, including a double room, make up this sanctuary backed by over seventy years of Clarins expertise · high-performance plant active ingredients and systematic personalisation of protocols. A key detail: the spa is open to external visitors as well as hotel guests, every day of the season, a rarity for this level of standing in the village.
Our take
Following Dior at Cheval Blanc and the Plaza Athénée, or Guerlain which has recently landed its bee on the roof of the Normandy in Deauville, the alliance between resort hotels and major beauty houses is emerging as one of the most effective differentiation levers in luxury hospitality. By hosting Saint-Tropez’s only Spa by Clarins and co-creating an exclusive treatment, Hôtel de Paris secures an advantage that neither a private beach nor a rooftop can replicate: an experience that cannot be found anywhere else on the peninsula.
