Hotel Martinez and Spa Givenchy
A favourite of Liv Tyler when she heads to the film festival as well as scores of other celebrities, the infamous Hotel Martinez is an elaborate, art deco-adorned 1930s hotel loved by style-seekers and locals year round.
It was given a complete overhaul in 2003 and now houses one of the six exclusive Givenchy spas, giving the hotel undisputed beauty kudos. Sumptuous suites that house sea-view treatment rooms, give spa-goers an exclusive and glamorous experience. While the light-filled rooms make it all a heavenly experience.
The hotel even boasts the biggest private beach in Cannes, with 400 sun loungers seeking the sun's attention, so you know where you'll find the most celebrity bums in one place.
Spa Byblos by Sisley Cosmetics at Byblos Hotel in St Tropez
The famous Byblos hotel, originally created by a Lebanese hotelier over 40 years ago, has been seducing St Tropez luxury seekers with its heady mix of Mediterranean elegance and romanticism. It has now joined forces with Sisley for its first ever spa, which opened last year.
Intimate and exclusive, the mosaic-covered, Middle-East inspired treatment rooms overlook the hotel's gardens, and there's a VIP suite with private Turkish bath for extra privacy. Added features include experience showers with interchangeable water, sound and light experiences.
The sensory-based treatments are in congruent with Sisley's expertise in essential oils and plant extracts and incorporate spa and wellbeing techniques and know-how from around the world.
From international figure-heads to jet set film stars, film shoots and concerts, it's all happened here at the Byblos.
Monte Carlo Spa
Imagine sinking into the lull of the waves on the shore as someone pummels their expert hands over your partied-out limbs. This is the kind of unique spa service on offer at the prestigious and distinguished Monte Carlo Spa.
Sea-view treatment cabins are the norm at the resort's Les Thermes Marins Spa with beauty products from La Prairie and Lancaster, as well as a thalasso programs with pure seawater and marine extracts. The extensive treatment menu sits outside of traditional with packages like Monte Carlo Diamond Combo, which features diamond powder and rose oil to revive the body back to beauty.
As well as the impressive spa experiences, Montecarlospa also has four palaces, five casinos and 33 bars and restaurants, which is more than you would find in a small city!
