Paris Spas
Our Top 5 Spas in Paris are:
1. O'Kari
A
traditional North-African hammam exclusively for women in the
Montorgueil district, it has the perfect combination of luxurious
pampering, beautiful setting, all-natural products, and authentic spa
techniques perfected by Arab women for centuries that will have you
glowing. When you enter, the friendly owner Karima will show you to your
locker, where you'll be provided with a robe, towel, flipflops and
disposable panties to wear in the steam baths. Guests are offered mint
tea, refreshing citronnade, or fresh squeezed juice cocktails
and North African snacks in the lounge area. The detox begins in the
mosaic tiled steam room, which twinkles with fiber optic stars. This is
followed on a heated table with a gommage, an all-over body
scrub with an olive-oil based soap that will get rid of the dulling dead
skin build-up. Then a honey-based facial mask is applied and allowed to
set while your hair is washed and untangled. After a quick rinse under
the shower you can relax further in the heated Jacuzzi, surrounded by
North African pottery, candles and soothing music. This basic treatment
costs €150 and lasts about 2 hours. Treatments range from €90-€330, with
a specialty in masks and massages.

2. Four Seasons Hotel George V
Everything about this spa is regal. Marie Antoinette is the inspiration
for the two-and-a-half-hour 'A Stroll to Versailles', which
incorporates orange blossom (reportedly her favourite scent) in a body
scrub, massage and facial. And the treatment rooms, with illustrated
wallpaper and big, cosy massage beds, are certainly fit for a king.
Hair is not forgotten: treatments include Brazilian hair-straightening
and extensions. Locks can be also be styled for an evening out. And as
for the food… Well, you thought the spa cuisine couldn't be bettered -
not an easy feat in Paris. Website

variety of treatments from Ayurvedic and Taoist massage, Balinese facial

4. Spa Nuxe
Zen
meets old French limestone for a very chic day spa. Chocoholics should
also head straight here for Phytochoc cocoa treatments - cocoa known for
having anti-ageing properties. The hip 32 Montorgueil is on a bustling
pedestrian street, opposite a chocolate boutique. It’s a spacious chic
retreat located in a former 17th century wine and spirit warehouse.
There are four beauty rooms and a fantastic choice of treatments. TRY:
Ultra Comfortable Treatment with Honey (soothing, repairing and
lipid-replenishing) 95€.
