Vinotherapy & Lavender Therapy From Their Own Domaine at Coquillade Provence In the mid-2000s, the late Andy Rihs, visionary founder of Coquillade Provence and its renowned Domaine (now, Domaine de la Coquillade), embarked on a transformative journey that elevated the estate to new heights. This transformation signaled a profound commitment to excellence in wine production and hospitality. Today, this legacy is carried forward by his sons, Oliver and Tobias Rihs, who have embraced a new set of guiding principles: sustainability, wellness, and a connection with nature. At the heart of their sustainability efforts is a commitment to organic viticulture rooted in biodynamic principles. Further, the hotel’s 2,000 square meter spa—the largest in the region—promotes the principles of wellness, and now the Domaine’s female winemaker, Aurélie Julien, and its female spa director, Cécile Gusman, have joined forces to create a new offering of therapeutic spa treatments that harness the biodynamic viticulture.
Vinotherapy: The Power of Grapes in Skincare Drawing directly from the hotel’s very own Domaine de la Coquillade vineyard, the hotel spa introduces its guests to the luxurious world of vinotherapy, a wellness approach that harnesses the potent, antioxidant-rich properties of grapes and vines for the skin, providing drainage, antioxidant and anti-aging properties. Vinotherapy treatments at Coquillade Provence are meticulously crafted to deliver a unique, revitalizing experience. Guests can indulge in grape seed scrubs, which exfoliate and renew the skin with the natural goodness of grape polyphenols. Wine-infused facials use the anti-aging benefits of resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant found in grape skins, to firm and hydrate the skin, leaving it with a youthful glow. Additionally, grape body wraps envelop the body in a nourishing, detoxifying treatment that draws out impurities and enhances skin elasticity. Each treatment is designed not only to pamper but to deliver tangible skincare benefits, making vinotherapy a cornerstone of the spa’s wellness offerings.
The resort’s commitment to sustainability and wellness is evident in its use of natural ingredients and its focus on creating a tranquil and rejuvenating experience. Coquillade Provences is a luxury resort located in the heart of Provence, France. The resort offers a range of wellness and relaxation treatments, including signature lavender treatments.
Award-Winning Spa and World-Class Amenities As the largest spa in the region, Spa Coquillade is a sanctuary of luxury and wellbeing, spanning 2,000 square meters of carefully designed spaces that harmonize mind, body, and soul. The spa’s extensive facilities include an indoor heated swimming pool, saunas, hammams, steam baths, and sensory showers, all designed to provide a complete sensory experience. Guests can find peace in the indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, take in the serenity of the Provençal gardens, or savor herbal teas in the tranquil tea lounge. Coquillade Provence’s dedication to offering the highest quality experiences is reflected in its use of premium skincare lines, including Tata Harper and Nescens. These brands, known for their efficacy and commitment to natural ingredients, complement the spa’s philosophy of providing treatments that are as nurturing as they are luxurious.
