Spa Airelles

A heavenly Provence spa
VERIFIED LUXURY

For some, the spa is a sacred place, which may explain why Spa Airelles at Airelles Gordes, La Bastide in Provence was designed to resemble the area’s abbeys. The nearby 12th-century Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénaque was a particular influence on the monastic spa’s long vaulted hallways; copious use of Burgundian stone; dark walnut doors; and lantern-like light fixtures.

And the treatments are heavenly. The menu leans heavily on phyto-aromatic treatments — that is, those that employ plant extracts and essential oils — which is fitting for Spa Airelles’ countryside setting. All phyto-aromatic services incorporate massage, so no matter if you’re getting a body treatment or a facial, you’ll leave feeling relaxed and blessed.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • Plunge into the warm waters of the expansive indoor pool at the Provence spa. Then sprawl out on a lounger in the sunny terrace, which affords entrancing valley vistas.
  • Carve out time to use the spa’s steam room, sauna and sensory showers before your service.
  • Treatment rooms have a private terrace that overlooks the scenic Luberon mountains — you can request to take your massage outside.

  • Partake in alfresco yoga classes in the verdant garden.
