Why choose Belle Plage for a wellness break in Cannes

Cannes has no shortage of luxury hotels with relaxation areas, but few offer an experience as comprehensive and intimate as that of the Belle Plage hotel. Here, wellbeing is not just an added extra: it is a cornerstone of your stay, thoughtfully integrated into every aspect of your experience.

Several factors set the hotel apart for a wellness break in Cannes:

A dedicated spa, not just a hotel facility: the Spa Villa Belle Plage is housed in its own villa, just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, with its own unique identity and atmosphere.
A location that is both central and secluded: in the heart of Square Mistral, close to the Vieux-Port and the Croisette, yet in a more intimate part of Cannes, far from the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds.
An extensive range of treatments, from traditional massages to aquatic therapies, including high-tech treatments and exceptional cosmetic brands.
A genuine commitment to the environment, with the Clé Verte label, a benchmark for sustainable tourism, ensuring the wellness experience is part of a responsible approach.

This combination makes Belle Plage the natural choice for anyone in Cannes seeking a hotel with a spa that combines high standards, discretion and the Mediterranean art of living.

The Villa Belle Plage Spa: a dedicated wellness retreat

The Villa Belle Plage Spa extends the hotel experience into a world entirely devoted to wellbeing, treatments and rejuvenation. After a day on the Croisette, a stroll through the historic centre or a business meeting, the Villa becomes a sanctuary in its own right.

A sensory space in its own right

Located at 9 Rue Jean Dollfus, just a few minutes from the hotel, the spa offers a truly wellness experience, open every day of the year: a sauna, hammam and relaxation circuit provide the perfect prelude to your treatments. The atmosphere is deliberately minimalist and soothing, in keeping with the overall spirit of Belle Plage, allowing you to switch off completely as soon as you arrive.

Signature massages and treatments

Belle Plage’s spa menu covers a wide range of treatments, from the most classic to those rarely found on the Côte d’Azur:

Traditional and signature massages: the ‘Les 3 Palmiers’ massage, the house speciality combining relaxing techniques and stretching; the bespoke massage, fully tailored to your current needs; as well as Californian, Swedish, deep-tissue and Ayurvedic Abhyanga massages.
Aquatic treatments, a rare speciality in Cannes: Watsu and Janzu, practised in warm water, combine gentle rocking, soft stretching and pressure techniques inspired by shiatsu to deeply relax both body and mind.
Facial treatments and technologies featuring exceptional brands such as Susanne Kaufmann and Cellcosmet, as well as Hydrafacial and Icoone treatments for targeted results.
Shared experiences, designed for couples, a moment for yourself or even a parent-child session, extending the wellness experience beyond the individual treatment.

This variety allows every type of traveller – whether seeking an afternoon massage in Cannes or a more comprehensive treatment programme – to create a bespoke wellness break.

Fitness & holistic wellbeing

Wellbeing at Belle Plage is not limited to manual treatments. The Villa features a fitness centre open during the same hours as the spa, offering personalised support: one-to-one coaching, yoga (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin), Pilates, cross-training, Fit & Run, as well as nutritional guidance and a body composition analysis. This holistic approach, combining exercise, nutrition and relaxation, is designed for both occasional spa guests and travellers wishing to maintain a wellness routine whilst staying on the Côte d’Azur.

Rooms and suites designed for relaxation

The wellness experience flows naturally into the hotel’s rooms and suites. Bathed in light, they combine contemporary design with Mediterranean inspiration, offering, depending on the category, a view of the Square Mistral or the sea. The Belle Plage Suite alone offers a panoramic view of the Mediterranean and the Estérel Mountains. Each space has been designed to extend the sense of serenity begun at the spa, in an intimate and soothing atmosphere, right in the heart of the city yet already a world away.

Rooftop, restaurants and the Mediterranean way of life

A wellness break in Cannes isn’t limited to treatments: it continues at the table. Perched high above the hotel, the Bella restaurant offers breathtaking views of the Bay of Cannes and the Estérel, serving local, seasonal Mediterranean cuisine, designed around dishes to share, from breakfast through to dinner.

Set amidst the gardens of the Villa Belle Plage Spa, the Shiso restaurant reinterprets the Japanese art of living in an elegant setting that’s perfect for unwinding, in perfect harmony with the spa’s ambience: tataki, tempura, gyozas and a selection of sakes and signature cocktails round off this sensory experience.

From the rooftop terrace overlooking the sea to the izakaya nestled in the garden, the hotel extends the spa’s sense of relaxation into the dining experience, ensuring a complete wellness break on the Côte d’Azur.
