Mougins

A variety of treatments are available at the Shiseido Spa at Le Mas Candille which offers the full spa experience. Shiseido Spa is the first Shiseido spa in continental Europe, and provides a peaceful sanctuary where guests can combat the effects of modern living and bring harmony to busy lives.

Located in its own landscaped gardens, within a private area of the hotel’s 40,000 square metres of secluded grounds, the purpose-designed japanese-style spa has a soothing environment and offers a wonderful selection of face and body treatments based on an oriental philosophy using Shiseido’s unique Qi Method and exceptional product range.

Developed by Shiseido, the Qi Method focuses on the importance the body’s energy, or ‘Qi’, plays in our well-being. It is centred on the belief that true beauty comes from a harmony between body and mind. All the treatments are designed to achieve this balance and concentrate as much on total well-being as on improving skin condition.

The treatments use a combination of shiatsu pressure point work, oshiboris (special Japanese hot towels) and aromachological fragrances (which enhance the physical and psychological sense of well-being) to stimulate the tsubo points, which are situated on the path of the Qi flow. Traditionally practised in Eastern medicine, applying pressure on these points can be used to either stimulate inactive parts of the body or calm overactive parts. The overall effect is to balance body and mind energy, to improve the appearance of your skin and leave you feeling either relaxed or energised.
