Clients headed to Monaco? For some regal R&R, suggest a massage at the newest spa in town: the Monte Carlo Beach Spa, a haven of chic escapism in the Monte Carlo Beach Hotel, a legend since the Roaring Twenties and now part of the Relais & Chateaux collection. The hotel recently emerged from a redo by celebrated designer India Mahdavi and it sure is a sight for sore eyes. (For details on the makeover, check out our write-up here.) Just in time for summer, the Monte-Carlo SBM group introduced the spa, which draws on the Thermes Marins Monte Carlo’s savoir-faire. Open from March to October, the new spa is nestled beside the famous Olympic-size swimming pool facing the sea. Your clients can get buffed and sloughed in the hammam, scented with Tiout oils, then hit one of the three treatment rooms for a facial or body treatment by La Prairie, which may just offer the elixir of youth.
