BESPOKE & HOSTED WELLNESS RETREATS IN PROVENCE
In life, it’s all about the experiences — it’s what truly matters.
We are thrilled to bring you our unique, luxury wellness retreats, mind-expanding programs and slow travel experiences in Provence.
Our bespoke wellness retreats are designed to offer your group the perfect balance of exploring the beauty of Provence, while incorporating your desired level of holistic wellness or fitness goals, with a total mind-body reset. We start each retreat with 1:1 consultations with an expert wellness coach from clinical herbalist to psychologist/life coach, so we can design and build in tailored mind and body wellness support for your journey with us in Provence.
OUR WELLNESS DIFFERENCE
Our Luxe Provence Experience team has a deep knowledge, background and education in hands-on counselling psychology, nature therapy, life coaching, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and clinical herbalism. We have worked hard over the years to understand the body’s innate ability to heal itself through our own journeys with chronic illness, using the power of plant-based medicines, psychology, TCM practices, movement and nutrition to overcome health challenges, which has fueled our mission.
We start each retreat with a clinical herbalist consultation 60 days prior to arriving. Each retreat includes the option of a 2-hour mind reset session, to integrate a complete mind-body experience, specifically designed for stress or anxiety. This allows us to set clear intentions for your time here in Provence, so you can continue these practices and wellness habits back home. We work with nutrition-focused chefs for our culinary classes who prepare incredibly nourishing and delicious meals using, local seasonal ingredients and produce from this abundant region.
We have carefully chosen a curated collection of relaxed, nature-inspired 5-star luxury villas throughout the South of France, from the Luberon, Les Alpilles and the Côte d’Azur which are ideal for relaxing in or jumping directly into the sea.
You will practice yoga (from hatha, iyengar, ashtanga, vinyasa) and pilates with a dedicated instructor and work 1:1 with fitness trainers or cyclists to improve your performance, upon request. Our goal is to deepen your connection to mind, body and nature here in Provence so you leave calm, rejuvenated and inspired.
