Are you looking for an exceptional spa hotel in Les Baux-de-Provence? This destination boasts some of the most renowned 5-star establishments in the south of France, and we have tested them for you. These luxury hotels offer a number of advantages. The rooms and suites are located in carefully restored Provençal country houses. The wellness areas offer hammams, saunas, sensory pools, and massage rooms. Some spas cover 500 m² or more.
Gastronomy is an integral part of the Les Baux de Provence experience. Several Michelin-starred restaurants offer refined Provençal cuisine. The chefs work with local products: olive oil from the Alpilles, vegetables from the garden, and aromatic herbs.
The estates often cover several hectares. You can enjoy outdoor swimming pools, olive groves, and absolute tranquility. The proximity to Saint Rémy de Provence, Arles, and the village of Les Baux makes it easy to take cultural excursions between treatments. Here are our favorites:
Baumanière – Les Baux-de-Provence
The soul of an iconic establishment
When you push open the gate at Baumanière, something always happens. The sun-kissed pale stones, the unexpected coolness of the olive tree-lined paths, and that feeling of time standing still that immediately takes hold.
You can feel both the weight of the place—a Provençal legend—and its simplicity in the air. The rooms are scattered throughout superb buildings where every detail has its own story: weathered furniture, natural fabrics, unexpected works of art. The huge, well-kept grounds open onto the scrubland, always with that feeling of deep breathing. Every time we stay here, we are seduced by this discreet, never ostentatious luxury, which invites relaxation and contemplation. It is a place where you feel good, far from artifice, and ready to offer everything you need to slow down.
The Provençal spa: total disconnection
The Baumanière spa, nestled in a beautiful building surrounded by gardens, made a particular impression on us: the atmosphere there, hushed and green, sets the tone. Here, there is no fuss, just an ultra-refined interlude focused on well-being, where every gesture seems just right.
We love the natural light filtering through the shutters, the scents of local essential oils, and the rituals inspired by the surrounding nature. We especially recommend their signature massages and intensely rejuvenating facials, performed with consummate attention to detail. Between the sauna, steam room, pool, and herbal tea corner, you can completely disconnect. You'll leave feeling light as a feather, your mind at peace.

Domaine de Manville – Les Baux-de-Provence
Rustic chic in the heart of nature
At Domaine de Manville, we found that unique atmosphere where refinement takes center stage without ever stealing the spotlight from nature. Perched at the gates of Les Baux, this estate, designed around an old farmhouse, brilliantly combines contemporary chic with rural authenticity.
Upon arrival, the song of cicadas, the gentle sway of century-old olive trees, and the immense lawn set the tone. You quickly feel the “family home” atmosphere of the place: a nonchalant elegance and attentive service without stiffness. The spacious, bright rooms open onto the gardens or the pool. For us, this is the kind of hotel where it's a real pleasure to return, whether for a weekend or a longer break.
A spa open to the senses and nature
The spa at Domaine de Manville reflects the spirit of the place: welcoming, bathed in light, designed to help you truly let go. Guests are welcome to take a dip in the heated indoor pool before being guided by attentive practitioners.
Their treatment menu, inspired by Provence, includes traditional massages as well as more specialized or holistic rituals. We love the option of alternating between the sauna, steam room, hot tub, and relaxation room with views of the countryside. For families or couples, the space is also ideal for shared moments of relaxation. You'll immediately feel yourself unwinding in the soothing atmosphere.

Here, the design speaks for itself, giving pride of place to light, space, and the good life: no frills, just a genuine quest for comfort and aesthetics. We love the huge swimming pool, the generous size of the suites (some with private Jacuzzis), and the elegant, yet never stuffy atmosphere.

After your treatment, head to the pool or enjoy a drink on the terrace. For fitness fans, the gym is equipped with the latest equipment, ideal for a gentle workout.

Vallon de Valrugues & Spa – Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
A hidden retreat just a stone's throw from the historic center
At Le Vallon de Valrugues, it is the discretion that first appeals: a hotel nestled on the edge of the pine trees, a haven of peace designed for recharging your batteries without ever losing touch with village life.
We love coming back here time and time again to enjoy the perfect balance between high-end service and a homely atmosphere: every space invites you to relax, thanks to its tasteful decor, golden light, and peaceful atmosphere. The suites, often with private terraces or small pools, offer chic intimacy. In the morning, we enjoy breakfast under the pergola, then the sunny pool or a read in the shade: there are a thousand ways to feel good here, at your own pace.
Spa: wellness in the great outdoors
Valrugues offers a true sanctuary: nearly 500 m² dedicated to letting go, all bathed in Provençal scents. The spa circuit (indoor pool, large Jacuzzis, sauna, hammam, experience showers) is complemented by à la carte treatment rooms: massages from around the world, Cinq Mondes facial rituals, tailor-made breaks.
What we particularly appreciate is the expertise of the team, the warm welcome, and the atmosphere that encourages you to take your time. The relaxation area, between the garden and the herbal tea room, invites you to prolong your moment of calm. You leave feeling recharged, ready to experience Provence in a different way.

If you're looking for the charm of the old town center, Le Saint-Rémy & Spa is the obvious choice. From the Haussmann-style façade, you can sense the intention: here, it will be refined, intimate, and warm.
The interior, with its chic Art Deco style, light wood paneling, graphic furniture, and touches of greenery, immediately puts you at ease. We particularly appreciate the cozy spaces: a lounge ideal for an aperitif, a discreet terrace, and a secret garden for breakfast. The staff, always smiling, cultivates the art of personalizing every detail to make each stay a moment suspended in time.
A NUXE spa, a signature of well-being in the heart of the village
The NUXE spa is a real cocoon, strangely peaceful in the heart of the village: everything here encourages you to let go, whether it's the hammam, the heated pool, or the various tailor-made treatments. The team performs facial and body treatments with great precision and inimitable fragrances (we recommend their signature treatments!).
We love the soft lighting, the enveloping soundscape, and the warm welcome. After a massage, enjoy a moment of rest in the garden or solarium to prolong your state of relaxation before heading out to stroll through the lively center of Saint-Rémy, just a stone's throw away.
