Spa Valmont at the Hôtel Belles Rives in Juan-les-Pins brings together two heritage names on the Côte d'Azur: the Belles Rives, a 1920s Art Deco hotel on the Antibes peninsula that once hosted F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Valmont, the Swiss luxury skincare house founded in 1985 and celebrated for its cellular cosmeceuticals derived from marine biology. The spa occupies a purpose-built space within the hotel and enjoys direct access to the Mediterranean — guests can step from the treatment rooms to the hotel's private floating dock and wooden jetty.
The treatment menu centres on Valmont's cellular collection, which uses DNA complex molecules developed in Swiss laboratories. Signature facials target cellular regeneration and anti-ageing with products applied in layered protocols across 75- to 120-minute sessions. Deep-sea algae wraps pair marine actives with thermal heat to stimulate circulation and soften skin texture. Mediterranean aromatherapy massages blend Provençal essential oils — lavender, eucalyptus, neroli — in warm-oil techniques. An indoor heated pool, hammam, and sauna are available for pre-treatment relaxation or standalone circuit use.
The spa's position within the Belles Rives gives it a distinct Art Deco atmosphere: period furnishings, curved archways, and mosaic tile floors connect the wellness space to the hotel's 1920s identity. Therapists complete Valmont certification training, with advanced practitioners qualified in the cellular facial protocols. The spa primarily serves hotel guests but day appointments are open to outside visitors by advance reservation. Couples treatment rooms allow dual sessions. Seasonal packages tied to the hotel's summer calendar — sometimes incorporating sunset boat excursions — can be arranged through the hotel concierge. Juan-les-Pins, a seaside resort district of the commune of Antibes, offers sandy beaches and the Cap d'Antibes peninsula as complements to a spa day.

Frequently asked questions
Can visitors who are not hotel guests book treatments?
Yes. Outside guests can book treatments by advance reservation. The spa is small, so availability for non-residents is limited, especially in July and August.
What distinguishes Valmont treatments from standard spa facials?
Valmont uses cellular cosmeceuticals based on DNA complex molecules derived from marine biology. The protocols focus on cellular regeneration rather than surface treatment alone, and are clinically developed in Switzerland.
Are couples treatments available?
Yes. The spa has a dedicated couples treatment room where two guests receive treatments simultaneously. These sessions should be booked in advance as demand is high during the summer season.
