Spa, yoga and wellness in Saint-Tropez: the Sezz experience

Where can you truly unwind in Saint-Tropez, away from the bustle of the port and the crowded terraces?

You know Saint-Tropez for its energy, its light and its vibrant evenings. But there is another way to experience the Riviera: slower, more intimate and centred on yourself. At Hotel Sezz Saint-Tropez, the Spa by Susanne Kaufmann offers exactly that: a wellness retreat at the heart of a five-star design hotel, open to both residents and outside visitors.

The Sezz Spa, a wellness space designed for true disconnection

Imagine this: you open a door and Saint-Tropez disappears. The light changes, and so does the atmosphere. The fragrance of essential oils mingles with the scents of the garden. Outside, palm trees. Inside, silence.

The Spa Sezz by Susanne Kaufmann was designed by architect Christophe Pillet in keeping with the hotel's "In & Out" philosophy: the boundaries between indoors and outdoors dissolve, nature flows into the space and light takes centre stage. The result is a bright, minimalist spa deeply rooted in its Mediterranean surroundings.

Two treatment rooms including one duo suite, a jacuzzi, hammam, outdoor fitness area, relaxation terrace, spa boutique and yoga classes at sunrise and sunset, available by reservation.

For outside visitors: booking a facial or body treatment includes complimentary access to the hammam and jacuzzi. A quality-to-experience ratio that is difficult to find at another high-end spa on the French Riviera.

Why Susanne Kaufmann ?

Susanne Kaufmann is not just another skincare brand. Founded in 2003 in the Austrian Alps, it was built on a simple principle: harnessing the power of Alpine plants, renowned for their extraordinary resilience, rich in antioxidants and validated both by science and generations of local expertise.

What sets the brand apart is that its formulas are designed and tested by professional therapists in the brand's original Austrian spa before being introduced elsewhere. No marketing before the protocol. Care comes first; everything else follows.

At Sezz, this partnership takes shape in a tangible way: every treatment combines skin expertise, emotional wellbeing and carefully selected natural ingredients. You do not simply leave feeling relaxed; you leave feeling transformed.

What makes this spa unique on the Riviera

There are many spas in Saint-Tropez. But few offer what Sezz has built around wellbeing.

Rituals lasting 90 minutes with a clear purpose

These are not generic treatments. Each ritual is designed around a specific intention: restoring restful sleep, boosting energy, easing the effects of stress or renewing the skin. Most include a Susanne Kaufmann product to take home and extend the experience, a rare and thoughtful detail.

Signature massages inspired by Saint-Tropez

The Recovery in Salins treatment is designed for muscular recovery, ideal after a day spent sailing or hiking through the coves. The Bikini Body Massage combines drainage, kneading and sculpting techniques. Treatments that understand their geographical context.

A rare family offering among luxury spas

The Tandem Parent-Child treatment in the duo suite is one of the few experiences of its kind on the French Riviera. Sharing a moment of wellbeing with your child in a gentle, pressure-free environment is something rarely found elsewhere at this level of quality.

Technology in the service of care

The Nooānce "Le Professionnel" LED mask stimulates the skin's natural mechanisms, enhances radiance and optimises treatment results. Cutting-edge technology integrated without ostentation.

Sezz wellness retreats: when a stay becomes a true break

This is probably what sets Sezz apart most from other wellness destinations in Saint-Tropez. Four immersive two-night retreats designed as complete programmes, ideal for a relaxing weekend in Saint-Tropez.

Slow Escape by Susanne Kaufmann

Slow down, breathe and restore balance. The stay includes unlimited spa access (hammam and jacuzzi), a Slow Sezz ritual, Susanne Kaufmann facial and body treatments, and a 100% plant-based healthy lunch by the pool. From €540 per day per person.

Glow Escape by Susanne Kaufmann

Revive the skin's natural radiance. Personalised diagnosis before each treatment, unlimited spa access and a 100% plant-based Spa Green healthy lunch. From €517.50 per day per person.

Flow Escape by Susanne Kaufmann

Stimulate circulation, release tension and encourage deep recovery. Yoga, body treatment, a healthy moment by the pool and unlimited spa access throughout the stay. From €487.50 per day per person.

Duo Escape by Susanne Kaufmann

Reconnect as a couple and slow down together. Duo facial and massage treatments, unlimited spa access and a lunch to share by the pool. From €564.50 per day per person.

At Sezz, wellbeing is not limited to a treatment. It is experienced as a complete journey, combining nature, holistic expertise and the Mediterranean art of living.

For a day: Pool Day Pass

There is no need to stay for several nights to enjoy Sezz. The Pool Day Pass, priced at €150 per person, includes access to the 200 m² heated outdoor swimming pool surrounded by palm trees, with lunch on the terrace included. A slow luxury wellness day in Saint-Tropez to enjoy alone, as a couple, with family or among friends.

Recommendations from our Spa Manager, Mathilde

Mathilde is Spa Manager at Sezz. She knows every treatment, every product and every detail. We asked her four questions.

If you had to recommend just one treatment to someone discovering the Spa Sezz in Saint-Tropez for the first time, which one would you choose?

"The Susanne Kaufmann Body Massage, without hesitation. It's the brand's signature massage: relaxing, comprehensive and accessible even to those who are not used to massages. It covers every part of the body and guests can choose their oil. Arnica for muscular recovery, calendula for fatigue or long journeys, pomegranate for skin radiance thanks to its richness in vitamin C. That's what makes the difference at Sezz: a personalised treatment."

Which treatment surprises guests the most?

"The Sezz Spa treatment that surprises guests the most is definitely the 90-minute Susanne Kaufmann signature facial. People arrive expecting a simple facial treatment and leave having experienced something much more holistic. We begin with a foot bath, followed by a hand massage, several techniques to release muscles and fascia, lymphatic drainage, reflexology points and a scalp massage. It's a facial, but in reality the whole body relaxes. And it is often a revelation for people who don't particularly enjoy being touched... they leave converted."

What benefits do guests notice most after a wellness stay at Sezz?

"Two things come up regularly. For facial treatments, the effectiveness of Susanne Kaufmann products is visible from the very first session; guests notice the radiance and skin texture immediately. More generally, there is a deep sense of relaxation. Not just the superficial feeling of relaxation after a massage, but something more lasting that stays with them, even after a spa stay in Saint-Tropez."

What advice would you give to people who struggle to truly switch off during their holidays?

"I often recommend booking a Flow retreat with yoga or a Slow retreat including a 30-minute relaxation-meditation session. It changes the rhythm of the day completely. Then there is one simple rule: switch off your phone. Finally, create a small relaxation routine: the spa, the beach, the pool, a screen-free lunch. Focus on what is here, right now. What I often tell guests is that these moments remain accessible mentally once they return to work. The present moment that you have truly experienced stays with you. That is the real benefit of a wellness retreat."
