Cannes wellness destinations to revive and recharge at
The flights are booked, the bags are packed. Now, it's time to add this list of the best wellness destinations in Cannes to your itinerary. Whether you prefer your cosmetic experiences high-tech and customised, or lo-fi and wellness-led, these healing escapes will certainly spirit you away.
Here in Côte d'Azur, the charm of time-honoured Mediterranean wellbeing rituals meets French pharmaceutical innovation in discreet, restorative spaces for those looking to bask in the glow of the radiant Riviera. While the seaside commune is best-known for the eponymous, glitzy film festival it plays host to every year, this notable string of luxe spas and health resorts are just as deserving of attention.
Prefer to harness the health benefits of the outdoors? Cannes has you covered. With sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea, excursions from wading in the ocean to cycling the trails of Cap Lardier are available in abundance. However, there are indoor respites aplenty too—just look to the likes of Spa Villa Belle Plage's Himalayan pink salt sauna or Lily of the Valley's Shape Club for proof.
Undoubtedly, it's a famed city that offers something for everyone. Allow Vogue Singapore's edit of Cannes' best wellness locales to be your guide: Courtesy of Lily of the Valley

Inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Provençal abbeys and Californian villas, the Philippe Starck-designed hotel overlooking the Mediterranean feels like a charming village in its own right. Centred around the pillars of weight loss cuisine, treatments and sport, the luxury health resort is the perfect retreat to optimise your longevity. Its nutritional gastronomy approach by Jacques Fricker marries health while maintaining the pleasure of food, and combines technology-based and manual treatments with indoor and outdoor fitness excursions, coaching and treatments that promote total wellbeing. Wade in the sea, ride an electric mountain bike along the trails of Cap Lardier or stimulate cell renewal in the cryotherapy chamber—it's all possible with Lily of the Valley's Shape Club.

Boutique hotel Mama Shelter to open in S'pore
New boutique hotel Mama Shelter Singapore will mark the brand's debut in Asia when it opens on Sept 23. The hotel will have 115 rooms across seven floors and be situated in Killiney Road, a five-minute walk from Somerset MRT station and Singapore's shopping belt. Founded in France in 2008 by entrepreneur Serge Trigano - the former president of hospitality company Club Med - and his sons Jeremie and Benjamin, Mama Shelter has 19 properties globally. Eleven are in French cities like Nice, Toulouse and Rennes. Mama Shelter is part of lifestyle hospitality company Ennismore - a joint venture with French hospitality group Accor - which develops and operates lifestyle brands around the world. At the Singapore property, an entry-level room of 15 sq m will cost from $190 a night, inclusive of breakfast for two guests, for bookings made before Aug 31. Subsequently, average nightly rates will start at $240. Nearly half the rooms will come with a private terrace - a feature not found in its other properties. Boutique hotel Mama Shelter Singapore will open on Sept 23. ST PHOTO: SARAH STANLEY "Singapore felt like a natural choice for Mama Shelter's first step into Asia. It is a city that thrives on diversity, creativity and contrast," says Mr Sylvain Pasdeloup, executive vice-president of Asia-Pacific at Ennismore. "These are values that sit at the heart of Mama Shelter. There is a real energy here, a sense of possibility that we connected with from the beginning." The brand positions itself as the antithesis of static, unimaginative accommodation. Properties feature striking artwork on walls, ceilings and floors, and are furnished with eccentric, eye-catching decor. For instance, Mama Shelter Singapore's ground-floor restaurant is decked out in leopard-print settees and patterned red carpets, while the ceiling - courtesy of Parisian street artist Beniloys - is elaborately hand-painted with local motifs like orchid flowers and a plane that reads Air Singapore. French design and interiors studio Dion & Arles was engaged to give the hotel its distinctive look and feel - one that the brand's chief operating officer Cedric Gobilliard describes as "bold, fun, a little rebellious - but never fake". Nearly half of the 115 rooms at Mama Shelter Singapore will feature private terraces. There will also be connecting rooms with separate private terraces. PHOTO: MAMA SHELTER SINGAPORE "Mama Shelter is more than just a hotel - it's a vibrant place made for locals, not just travellers. Mama is where people from the neighbourhood come to eat, drink, meet friends and enjoy life," he says. It is this ebullience that Mr Xavier Pougnard, Mama Shelter Singapore's general manager, plans to weave into the service standards of his roughly 90 staff. With over two decades of experience in hospitality, including stints at five-star hotels The Peninsula Hong Kong and Shangri-La Singapore, he says: "All the small touchpoints that create a great experience need to be pleasant, and even though we're creating a fun environment, we cannot confuse that with complacency." To further create a sense of place, the team curated the hotel's playlist, which includes songs by local and regional artistes, and created a downloadable city guide for guests, which will also be available on Google Maps and Apple Maps. Live entertainment will be a regular fixture on Friday and Saturday nights, as well as on Sunday for brunch between 11.30am and 3.30pm. Mr Pougnard's favourite part of the hotel is the main pool on the rooftop. Yellow and blue-green tiles create an intricate mosaic on the pool floor that brings to life a Wes Anderson-esque whimsy, in line with the rest of the hotel's character. He points out two chess tables - similar to those found at older Housing Board void decks around Singapore - built along the inner pool wall and mostly submerged. "That part is really cool. It's cheeky, it's fun, it's playful, and it surprises anyone who sees it," he says. "It comes together with everything else. It's Mama."
