Detox squad - spa hotels in St Tropez

Summer is a time to relax, but sometimes that can mean neglecting our diet and training...which is exactly as a holiday should be! Unfortunately, it's time to go back to real life now and what better way to do that than with a complete body and mind reset in sunny Saint Tropez?

Too many glasses of rose by the harbour, couldn't resist that last cocktail in Le Quai Restaurant? Still recovering from your night out in Les Caves du Roy or the VIP Room? Or you are just burnt out from work and need to reboot? Here is a short list of full-on detox programmes that will leave you feeling as good as new this autumn.

Stay in shape this autumn

Enjoy the mild climate and recharge at the Hotel de Paris in Saint Tropez. This autumn they are offering a special Workout & Detox package that includes sports coaching, yoga, circuit training, mountain biking, walking and jogging, plus use of the heated outdoor swimming pool and special treatments at the SPA by Clarins. Indulge in tasty yet healthy treats made especially for you by the chef and relax in your room with your own private terrace. The Hotel de Paris are offering this special package for four days (three nights) on specific dates in October, November and December. Enquiry directly for more information.

Unwind & nourish your artistic side

Sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves to exercise and focus on our bodies...but how about a weekend away where you can relax, soak up the lazy autumn sun and re-awaken your imagination. The Pastis Hotel in Saint Tropez offers you an oasis of calm and an environment that surrounds you in design, art and memories of another time. You need only leave this haven of peace and tranquility to stroll into town to visit the Annonciade museum and enjoy some of the greatest French masterpieces by the likes of Matisse, Derain and Marquet.

Find your centre

Sometimes fitting a yoga session into your busy day is just too much to contemplate, so why not take some time out and enjoy some private yoga sessions on holiday in Saint Tropez. You have your choice of luxury and boutique hotels in this small port town and many of them will offer yoga instruction as part of their spa packages. But for something a little different, why not try some private lessons in Aerial Yoga at your hotel. In Aerial Yoga, the soft fabric called sling or hammock is suspended at various heights allowing you to try different yoga postures. When our relationship to gravity changes vertically, we have to be more aware of finding our own center of gravity. Allow yourself to open up space in your mind by opening up space in your body.
