A journey out of time, 500 metres from the harbour

Picture yourself on the sunny coast of Sainte-Maxime, where the soft murmur of the waves brushes the shore and the sea air fills your senses.
We welcome you for massages tailored to your needs: after sport, after a hike, or simply for a relaxing break.
All our services are unisex. We massage women and men alike, and we adapt the intensity to each person.
Our oils
Massages with Thalgo oils
We work with the massage oils from Thalgo, marine cosmetics made on the French Riviera. They nourish the skin as much as they ease the movement. Our two treatment rooms then welcome you Tuesday to Saturday.
Read more
From June to August, we stay open until 7pm, and until 9pm by appointment.
Talk to your therapist before and during the session. Tell her your preferences and any area that needs particular attention.
Massage remains a non-medical practice. It is in no way a substitute for professional care.

Our massages
Six massages, six intentions
From the gentlest to the firmest, each massage answers a different need. Our therapists guide you to the right one for you. Find the details of each on its own page.
The gentlest
Californian massage
A gentle, relaxing massage, very popular at the salon. It releases tension and relaxes the muscles.
Read more
With light strokes and targeted pressure, it relieves many complaints, such as lower back pain, and improves blood circulation.
A true antistress treatment, this massage brings calm and relaxation. It is also called the Esalen massage, after the Californian institute where it was born in the 1960s.
Everything about the Californian massage.
More dynamic
Swedish massage
A more dynamic technique, which works deeply on the muscles and the joints.
Read more
It encourages harmony between mind and body. It also stays very effective for relieving aches, muscle tension and stress.
Swedish massage was born in Sweden in the 19th century, driven by the physiotherapist Per Henrik Ling. It combines effleurage, petrissage, friction and percussion.
Everything about the Swedish massage.
The most intense
Deep tissue
A deep tissue massage, with very firm pressure. Men and sportspeople particularly enjoy it.
Read more
This approach targets tightness in the neck, lower back and shoulders effectively.
Next, the therapist works with slow, firm movements, using the fingers, the elbows and sometimes the forearms.
Everything about men's massage and deep tissue.
Our latest addition
Hot jade stone
A massage that combines the warmth of stone with hands-on work, to soothe points of tension.
Read more
The jade stone is placed directly on your points of muscular tension. The heat then relaxes the area and eases the pain.
This hot stone massage therefore relaxes the muscles deep down, while stimulating blood circulation.
It is the most enveloping relaxation on our menu, ideal for recharging in winter.
For two
Duo massage
Share this moment together, as a couple or with a friend, on two tables set up in two separate rooms.
Read more
You each choose your massage and your duration. Then you start and you finish at the same time.
It is the most given gift at the salon. Book it online or give it as a gift card.
Everything about duo massage.
Bespoke
Targeted massage
A massage on the area of your choice: back, neck, shoulders, legs or scalp. You choose the duration.
Read more
It is therefore the shortest option, perfect after a day on your feet or a long drive.
In practice, the back massage remains the most requested, followed by the neck and shoulders.
For feet, discover our foot reflexology.
Duo massage
Two tables, two rooms, one shared moment. The most given gift at the salon, to book or to slip into a gift card.

Making the most of it
Before, during and after your massage
Lastly, a few simple habits are enough to get the most from your session. Here is what we advise all our clients.
Before
Stay hydrated
Drink water: it prepares the muscles and tissues. Avoid heavy meals and alcohol before your appointment.
During
Talk to us
Tell us your preferences and the areas that need particular attention. The pressure is adjusted at any moment.
After
Take your time
Rest, then drink plenty of water. Your body needs a moment to absorb the benefits of the session.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you ask us before a massage
Here are the questions our clients most often ask before booking their massage in Sainte-Maxime.
Which massage should I choose?
It all depends on what you are looking for. For pure relaxation, choose the Californian. To release tension, the Swedish. And for firm pressure, choose the deep tissue. If in doubt, simply tell us what is bothering you: we will choose with you.
How does a duo massage work?
You come as a pair, as a couple or with a friend. Then each of you settles onto your own table, in two separate rooms. You start and you finish at the same time, and each of you chooses your massage and your duration.
How long does a session last?
From 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the option. The targeted massage works best in 30 minutes, on a single area. A full body massage, on the other hand, needs an hour to be done properly.
Do I need to undress completely?
No. You keep your underwear on. We only uncover the area being worked on, and the rest of the body stays covered by a sheet throughout the session.
Which oil do you use?
Massage oils Thalgo, marine cosmetics made on the French Riviera. Tell us about any known allergy before your session and we will adapt.
Are there any contraindications?
Yes, as with all massages: high cardiovascular risk, phlebitis, thrombosis, significant varicose veins, ongoing infectious illness, cancer, recent fracture and the first three months of pregnancy. So tell us about any particular situation and, if in doubt, ask your doctor.
Do you massage pregnant women?
Yes, from the fourth month to the sixth, with a suitable set-up and adapted movements. The first three months, however, remain a contraindication. See the prenatal massage.
Do you massage men?
Yes, all our services are for everyone. We simply adapt the intensity to the muscles. Deep tissue is the most frequent request, especially among sporty clients. See the men's massage.
Can you give a massage as a gift?
Yes, and it is even our most requested gift. The gift card can be bought for a specific massage or for any amount you choose. And the duo is by far the most requested.
Can I come after exercising?
Yes. Deep tissue and Swedish massage help with recovery, reducing aches and improving muscle flexibility. Wait a few hours after intense effort, though.
