OVERVIEW
Set among lavender fields, olive groves, gardens, and aromatic plants in Haute-Provence, Le Spa L’Occitane en Provence at Le Couvent des Minimes is deeply rooted in the land where the Maison’s story began.
Housed within a former convent dating back to 1613, the property brings together centuries-old stone, Provençal light and contemporary design. More than an iconic destination, Le Couvent des Minimes embodies Spa L’Occitane en Provence’s vision of Better-Being — a place where Provençal art de vivre, Spa savoir-faire, innovation and a commitment to sustainability come together.
Spread across more than 2,500 square meters, Le Spa L’Occitane en Provence at Le Couvent des Minimes has 10 treatment rooms, extensive water and heat facilities, yoga and fitness spaces, and a dedicated naturopathy room.
SPA L’OCCITANE EN PROVENCE SAVOIR-FAIRE
Iconic treatments draw on L’Occitane en Provence ingredients and a sensorial and scientific approach to Better-Being, and are structured around four pillars: Longevity, Regeneration, Balance, and Vitality.
The range includes facials, relaxing, sleep-focused treatments, scalp care, and treatments supporting muscular recovery. Science is an integral part of this savoir-faire, with protocols scientifically evaluated for their benefits on the body, mind and emotions. Sleep & Reset, a 90-minute face and body treatment evaluated in collaboration with the European Sleep Center, has demonstrated a 40% improvement in sleep quality and a 30% reduction in the time needed to fall asleep.
Guests can also choose Made to Measure treatments. Facials can be adapted to focus on radiance, firmness, or facial contours, while massages can be tailored by duration, pressure, technique, and oil. Options range from gentle relaxation to more intensive, energizing, warming, and detox-focused bodywork.
SIGNATURE TREATMENT
Created especially for Le Couvent des Minimes, this 90-minute full-body treatment uses Agate and Red Jasper stones during a balancing and revitalizing massage. Guests choose a “companion” stone at the beginning of the treatment and take it home afterward.
SENSORY JOURNEY
The Sensory Journey includes an indoor swimming pool, outdoor Nordic pool, two saunas, two sensory showers, a Hammam, multisensory pool, cyclone shower, salt grotto, ice fountain, and relaxation spaces.
There is also a yoga room, gym, and naturopathy space. Yoga, fitness sessions, private coaching, and naturopathy consultations and workshops are offered alongside the treatment menu.
