Indulge in luxury and wellness at Hôtel Les Lumières, where Brad Pitt’s signature skincare line Beau Domaine meets historic glamour.
A Bubble of Time: Inside Les Lumières Versailles and its Beau Domaine Spa
Hôtel Les Lumières, located just steps away from the iconic Château de Versailles, offers an unlikely respite for travelers seeking historic glamour without the crowds. The five-star hotel’s on-site Spa des Lumière is a modern retreat that emphasizes wellness and anti-aging, making it the first hotel spa in the world to use ‘Beau Domaine,’ the French skincare line co-founded by Brad Pitt.
A Partnership Born of Shared Values
The partnership between Hôtel Les Lumières and ‘Beau Domaine’ initially arose from the hotel’s desire to work exclusively with French brands. The Relais & Châteaux property sought a skincare product line that was not only French but also vegan and organic, characteristics that align with ‘Beau Domaine’s values of sustainability and holistic wellness.’
The Beau Domaine Facials: A Holistic Approach
Beau Domaine’s facials are designed to promote radiance, diminish wrinkles and fine lines, and re-plump the skin. The treatments incorporate numerous products from the brand, including ‘the Cleansing Emulsion and Cream,’ alongside exfoliation, facial massage, and gua sha drainage. The use of natural elements like grape seed oil, crushed grape seeds, clay, and olive oil creates a distinct earthy scent during the experience.
A Sanctuary for Wellness
Spa des Lumière is composed of just two treatment rooms, designed by Hôtel Les Lumières to provide an intimate and calming atmosphere. The spa’s ethos is centered around creating ‘a bubble of time where guests can free their minds and bodies.’ This concept is reflected in the absence of double treatment rooms, emphasizing individual attention and relaxation.
Located in a serene natural setting, Spa des Lumière offers an array of rejuvenating treatments.
The spa's expert therapists utilize high-quality products to provide customized massages and facials.
Guests can unwind in the tranquil atmosphere, complete with soothing music and aromatic scents.
A range of amenities, including saunas and steam rooms, are available for relaxation.
Spa des Lumière is a popular destination for those seeking to escape the stresses of everyday life.
Beyond the Spa: Wellness Details Abound
The hotel’s focus on wellness extends beyond the spa, with wellness details evident in every aspect of the stay. Guests can drape themselves with ‘the plush Dormeur weighted blanket,’ which has become a sought-after item among guests. The bedrooms are designed to be airy and bright, with colorful flourishes on the walls and bedding, while the grand Café Pierre Hermé serves daily breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea in an opulent space adorned with 19th-century chandeliers.
A Synergy of French Ingredients
The connection to ‘Brad Pitt’s Miraval rosé wine’ has attracted many spa guests, particularly Americans who are ‘Beau Domaine’s biggest market.’ The actor launched the brand in 2022, developed with help from University of Bordeaux Professor of Oenology Pierre-Louis Teissedre and Professor Nicolas Lévy. While Pitt himself hasn’t had a facial, he was instrumental in creating the skincare products, using them extensively throughout his development process.
An Expanding Presence
Beau Domaine is working to expand its presence to additional spas, including in Paris and Spain. The brand’s facial experience at Spa des Lumière is currently available for travelers, offering a unique and relaxing experience that aligns with the hotel’s focus on wellness and anti-aging.
