9 a.m. - Sporty wake-up call

The Hôtel du Palais makes your sports routine easy with its fitness centre offering Technogym equipment. You can also benefit from yoga or Pilates classes and circuit training, dispensed by its qualified coaches. Prefer an activity in the open air? Head for the Grande Plage for a session along the coast.

10:30 a.m. - Pool with a view

Designed as a natural prolongation of the ocean, the heated sea-water pool in Californian style at the Imperial Club invites you to complete a few laps, from April to October, followed by a well-deserved moment of relaxation on its sun-loungers or in one of its elegant cabañas.

2 p.m. - The Imperial Spa

Majestically surveying the ocean, the Imperial Spa is the ideal spot for chilling out. Before heading to one of its nine treatment cabins, relax in its pool with a counter current, its whirlpool, hammam or sauna, to prepare your skin for Guerlain signature treatments.

2:30 p.m. - Time for treatment

Guerlain has created two exclusive face-and-body rituals for the Imperial Spa. In tribute to the Côte Basque’s legendary wave, “Belharra” pairs application of iced spheres with invigorating massage techniques. The “Soleil du Palais” ritual with a deeply nourishing massage then smoothes, repairs and sets a glow on the skin. The choice is yours.

4:30 p.m. - Gourmet pause

Taking time out at the Imperial Spa also means benefitting from the Eugénie Lounge and its magnificent terrace overlooking the ocean. Let yourself be lulled by the rippling waves and savour this present moment along with a fresh fruit juice or glass of champagne and an irresistible pastry by Chef Aleksandre Oliver.

5 p.m. - Beauty care

To round off this perfect day, don’t miss the tailor-made “Impérial Profond” hair care treatment in the salon at the Leonor Greyl Hair Institute. Thanks to a precise diagnosis and a plant-based treatment protocol, it will restore volume and shine to your hair. The “Embellisseur” treatment will then revitalize dry, dull or dehydrated hair.

An imperial cure

If just one day does not suffice, let yourself be tempted by a wellness retreat lasting 4 days and 3 nights, alone or as a couple, during which you will benefit from exclusive care treatments and bespoke activities.
