An elegant spa retreat in the Côte d’Azur

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Behind the exotic landscaped Mediterranean gardens of the fabled resort, Le Spa at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel is housed in a sprawling, curved 8,000-square-foot modern building that blends with the terra cotta earth tones of its lush surroundings.

With nine treatment pavilions (five indoor and four outdoor), including a spacious spa suite for couples, this pretty, botanical-themed facility gives off a restful vibe the moment you step through the door.

Those feeling ambitious about getting into shape can head to the fully equipped fitness area, stocked with state-of-the-art cardio-training machines and a private coach on hand to push you where you want to go.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Using a wide range of facials and body treatments with three renowned brands — the French beauty brand Biologique Recherche, Australian Sodashi skincare and luxe anti-aging Swiss line Dr. Burgener — the spa’s ultra-professional staff specializes in customizing the service menu to meet your needs.
There are lounge chairs by the counter-current pool to relax in and freshly brewed teas with herbs plucked from the hotel garden to sip.
During the summer season, spa-goers can (and should) take advantage of the outdoor treatment tents for massages and alfresco fitness area, both with views of the Mediterranean.
No doubt tailoring to its clientele, the French Riviera spa offers a pre-bikini prepping of scrubs, draining and toning.

Things to Know

Bicycles are also available for a spin around the wide tree-lined peaceful streets of Cap Ferrat or the nearby beaches.
The day spa also caters to an upscale clientele of non-guests, with packages that includes a choice of facials, scrubs, wraps and massages, access to the facilities and the option of staying for lunch at the hotel.
The Côte d’Azur spa recently added biweekly yoga and Pilates classes.

The Treatments

Splurge on the Dr. Burgener Les Jardins Du Cap Signature Anti-Aging Plumping Facial for the ultimate indulgence. Extracts from locally grown roses and Menton lemon beads combat the effects of pollution, while soothing lavender and honey leave your skin glowing.
Find your Zen with the Signature Sodashi Aromatherapy Massage. Enjoy an exfoliating foot rub followed by an aromatic rub-down using your selection of luxurious oils, all accompanied by the soothing sounds of Tibetan bowls.
Recover from a late night on the riviera with the Illuminating Facial from Biologique Recherche. Featuring the French brand's ultra-luxe skincare line, the treatment brightens and illuminates your complexion, reducing the appearance of dark spots.
Get your body beach ready with the Dr. Burgener Switzerland Algae Draining Wrap. This Brittany-based body wrap is renowned for its slimming and detoxifying properties.
There's a treatment for everyone here, with curated menus created especially for men (try the Sodashi Mankind Facial), kids (they'll love the Gourmet Fruit Facial) and couples (the Royal Experience For Two offers the ultimate in intimacy).

The Facilities

No need to retire to your room to primp — there’s a small hairdressing and makeup salon to ensure you look as glamorous as your surroundings.
There’s also a small, open-air fitness center under the resort’s pines where you can work out on the treadmill to the tune of thrumming cicadas.
To unwind before or after treatments, the small heated jet-stream pool, Jacuzzi, steam rooms and saunas are available, which is particularly welcome news if you’re visiting the resort during the off-season when the seaside Club Dauphin pool is closed.
