On the seafront below the ramparts

The Royal Antibes stands on Boulevard Maréchal Leclerc, facing the sea between the old town and La Salis. It describes itself as the only hotel in central Antibes right on the seafront, and its spa, the Royal Spa, is open to hotel guests and visitors alike, with its own entrance on the ground floor.

Marine skincare

The spa works with Phytomer, a French brand that builds its treatments on marine biotechnology and the resources of the sea. The menu covers body massages from Californian and deep tissue to energising and radiance rituals, shorter head, back and leg treatments, and a range of signature facials. All massages and treatments are adapted for men as well.

The wellness area

The spa covers 150 square metres, laid out simply and brightly.

• Three treatment rooms, one of them for two
• Sauna, hammam and Jacuzzi, with a relaxation room
• A 50-square-metre fitness studio with Technogym equipment
• Nail care with OPI products

Ways to visit

Outside guests can book time in the heat and water area on its own, or combine it with a treatment. The spa also offers half-day formulas, such as a relaxing morning that pairs breakfast with spa access and a massage, and monthly or yearly memberships.
