Spa
Overseen by health guru Dr Henri Chenot, L’Albereta’s Espace Vitalité wellness centre is more than simply a five-star pampering oasis. This temple of good health specialises in biontology – the science of anti-ageing.

Guests are offered bio-energetic testing to determine the body’s toxin levels, and treatments range from hydrotherapy and water cannoning to facials, massage and mud wraps. Saunas, steam baths and the exotic sounding bio meso-lift will also see you emerge in peak condition. Personalised diet regimes are offered for those who can resist L’Albereta’’s terrific cooking.
