Grand Hotel Saint-Jean-de-Luz: Luxury wellness cures in the Basque Country

Grand Hotel Saint-Jean-de-Luz Overview

A legendary hotel facing the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz

A historic resort, the Grand Hotel Saint-Jean-de-Luz is roughly twenty minutes from Biarritz. The municipality of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, known for its thalassotherapy among other things, has long had a deep appreciation for life’s sweetness. With its majestic throne facing the bay, the hotel has grown to become a must-see destination on the Basque Coast. Its ageless charm embodies the essence of the Belle Époque, bridging the gap between French architecture and contemporary luxury. Although there are other thalassotherapy facilities around the Basque Country, the Grand Hôtel Sain-Jean-de-Luz’s Loreamar Thalasso & Spa is unquestionably the most upscale.

The hotel’s suites and rooms are tastefully designed, consistently using 1930s-era themes. Because of the cream-colored décor, one feels inherently calm and renewed in the rooms. A very elegant environment is created by the fine materials chosen, especially the gorgeous colored velvets, and the attractive mottled furniture. To exacerbate the situation, the hotel’s courtesy products are branded with the high-end luxury company Bulgari.

The Bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz is the view from the premium rooms and suites. These consist of an elegant living room with a private terrace on some, right above the beach. The deluxe and traditional rooms face the city but are peacefully tucked away.

Tailor-made wellness treatments

Several well-being solutions have been developed in collaboration with acknowledged therapeutic professionals, such as Doctor Blanchemaison, a medical spa specialist, and Marc Couget, a nutrition, herbal medicine, and Chinese medicine expert.

The concept is to tailor care to individual needs by combining them with the therapeutic benefits of thalassotherapy. Loreamar therapies, thanks to sea water, provide you with minerals and trace elements that are beneficial to your health.

Although all treatments are entirely personalized, wellness plans are predetermined. In three or five days, each recommended remedy focuses on a distinct goal. The four themes of the three-day remedies are beauty, detox, anti-stress, and vitality. They all provide physical or aquatic activities as well as three to four daily thalassotherapy treatments. You will be served a draining, slimming, or antioxidant drink at the end of each treatment. To round up your experience, you will be given guidance on marine food supplements as well as a balanced menu tailored to your specific needs.

The suggested five-day cures follow the same premise, with four to five daily spa treatments and a consultation with a well-being expert at the start and end of the stay. You can choose between a remedy concentrating on shape and attractiveness, stress reduction and sleep, and back health as a topic. A treatment also focuses on the remineralizing effects of seawater, and the brand new, which will be available in 2024 , promises to restore vitality. A session of water osteopathy is included in some five-day treatments.

The fact that the Loreamar thalassotherapy center is monitored by highly experienced professionals in several disciplines like as osteopathy, hydrotherapy, and naturopathy is one of its primary assets.

Similarly, the restaurant is supplied with fresh produce without pesticides from local producers. The goal is to find the most natural and balanced diet possible. On the menu, you will also find several gluten-free and lactose-free dishes.
