Private Spa Retreats From Provence to the Alps
Rest looks different for everyone. For some it is a morning massage after a walk through the lavender fields of Provence; for others it is an afternoon in the thermal waters of an Alpine spa town, with nothing planned for the evening. We design each wellness tour around your pace, pairing hotels and spas we know well with private transfers, so the only thing you need to decide is how slowly to take the day.

Why Plan Your Wellness Tour With France Luxury Tour
Retreats Shaped Around Your Pace
Before we suggest a single hotel, we ask how you like to rest. Some guests want a treatment every day, others want long lunches and nothing booked. Your itinerary follows your answer, not a fixed package.
Hotels and Spas Chosen With Care
Our travel designers choose the properties, therapists and guides for each retreat, and handle every booking and transfer between them. You arrive to a plan that is already in place, with one person to call if anything needs to change.
Restorative Travel That Gives Back
Guided by our Positive Impact Principles, we favour locally run spas, regional produce and slower routes between destinations, so your time away supports the places that help you recharge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a luxury wellness tour?
Each tour is private and planned around you. It typically covers hand-picked hotels, spa treatments booked in advance, private transfers between each stop, and a travel designer who looks after every detail. Meals, guided visits and free time are balanced to your pace, so the trip feels restful rather than scheduled.
Can the itinerary be built around specific spa treatments?
Yes. Tell us the treatments you enjoy, whether massage, hydrotherapy, facials or something more specialised, and we plan the stays around spas that offer them. We book appointments before you travel, so your times are confirmed and you are not left queuing at reception once you arrive at the hotel.
Which regions of the country suit a spa retreat best?
Provence is a favourite for its lavender fields, gentle light and countryside hotels with excellent spas. The Alps offer thermal spa towns and mountain air, which pairs well with easy walks. Your travel designer can recommend one region or combine two, depending on how long you have and the season.
When is the best time for wellness travel in France?
Late spring and early autumn are ideal for most guests, with mild weather and quieter hotels. Lavender in Provence usually blooms from mid-June to late July. Alpine spa towns are lovely in summer and cosy in winter. Tell us your dates and we will suggest the setting that suits that time of year.
Can guests who prefer sightseeing join the same trip?
Absolutely. Many couples and families travel with one person who wants spa days and another who would rather explore. We plan parallel activities, such as a private guided visit, a vineyard tasting or a scenic drive, then bring everyone back together for lunch or dinner, so nobody feels they compromised.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend enquiring two to three months ahead, especially for summer and holiday periods when the best spa hotels fill quickly. Treatment slots are limited too, so earlier planning gives you more choice of times. Shorter notice is often possible, so ask even if your dates are close.
Are your wellness tours private or shared with other guests?
Every tour is private. You travel only with your own group, with a dedicated driver and a travel designer who plans around your preferences. There are no fixed departures or group coaches, which means start times, stops and treatment schedules can all shift if you decide you would rather slow down.
Can meals be adapted to dietary requirements?
Yes. Let us know about any dietary needs or preferences when you enquire, whether vegetarian, gluten-free or a lighter way of eating during your stay. We share them with every hotel and restaurant in advance, so each meal is ready for you and you do not need to explain yourself at every table.
Can we combine relaxation with wine or culture in France?
Easily. A spa stay in Provence can include a private wine tasting, a village market morning or a visit to a hilltop town. Many guests also add a few days in Paris at the start or end of the trip. Your travel designer balances the activity with enough rest that you return home refreshed.
How do we start planning a private wellness tour?
Send us your dates, group size and what rest means to you, whether spa treatments, countryside walks or simply beautiful hotels. A travel designer will reply with ideas and a draft itinerary, then refine it with you until every detail feels right. You can reach us by email, phone or WhatsApp.
