For some, the spa is a sacred place, which may explain why Le Spa Sisley 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. French skincare and cosmetics company Sisley was enlisted to oversee the spa. The menu leans heavily on phyto-aromatic treatments — that is, those that employ plant extracts and essential oils — which is fitting for Le Spa Sisley’s 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.
