Inside Mansard Spa by L’Occitane, the spa in Riyadh that everyone’s talking about
Here’s why it’s worth booking if you feel like a complete wellness reset
Mansard Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Hotel has been a luxurious Riyadh staple. Located in the northern neighbourhood of Ar Rabi, it is decadent to a fault, with classic Parisian-inspired architecture seamlessly combined with contemporary aesthetics – as is, we discovered, their spa.
Enter the Mansard Spa by L’Occitane, the first exclusive spa by L’Occitane in Riyadh. From manicures to full-body scrubs, their treatment list is extensive, and all treatments are tailored to meet the seasonal needs of guests.
The setting
Upon entering the Mansard Spa by L’Occitane, all the bustling energy from the hotel lobby fades away: suddenly, golden warmth and cosy, inviting interiors create an environment you’ll long to cocoon yourself in for some time.
Featuring 12 treatment rooms – each named after ingredients found in the brand’s products, complete with cosy low lighting and arguably the most comfortable spa beds, the Mansard Spa by L’Occitane is perfect for anyone wanting to escape busy life for pure bliss.
A gorgeous indoor pool, jacuzzi, hammam, exfoliation room, sauna, steam room, and even a salt cave for halotherapy initiation? You won’t run out of ways to relax in this well-established wellness haven.
The mood of the spa is opulent relaxation, with creamy walls and fresh florals throughout. The soft instrumental music gets you into the zen zone before the treatments begin.
The cushioned and contoured treatment bed is, frankly, a challenge to force yourself out of (so, perhaps, extend to the 90-minute treatment).
But the real reason you’re here is that Mansard Spa by L’Occitane is the only place in Riyadh where you can experience L’Occitane Spa’s signature treatments and aromatic scents, including the “Immortelle Divine Secret” facial and body ritual – a luxurious treatment that combines anti-ageing benefits with deep relaxation.
According to spa manager Zandra Bothma, this experience begins with a relaxing body massage using L’Occitane’s nourishing oils, followed by a facial featuring the award-winning Immortelle range. “It’s a favourite amongst guests for its visible results and complete mind-body reset,” Zandra explains.
It’s not just for women, though. Mansard Spa by L’Occitane features a men’s section, which offers a variety of signature facial and body treatments. Its dedicated spa area includes a reception, pedicure room, barber service, and four luxuriously appointed treatment rooms. Male guests will also have access to the hotel pool for a complete well-being experience, while fitness enthusiasts can utilise the hotel’s state-of-the-art, fully equipped gym.
The experience
So, what makes Mansard Spa by L’Occitane stand out from other luxury spas? Offering more than just a treatment, it’s a complete sensorial journey inspired by the heart of Provence.
“Our authentic connection to the L’Occitane brand is what sets us apart, with treatments developed in partnership with expert therapists in France, using natural, ethically sourced ingredients. The spa’s design, ambience, and service philosophy are all rooted in French wellness traditions, offering guests a deeply immersive and rejuvenating experience they won’t find anywhere else,” says Zandra.
“Every step of the guest journey is carefully designed to evoke a sense of calm and care. From the moment a guest arrives, they are greeted with personalised attention, a relaxing herbal tea, and a peaceful moment to unwind.”
She adds, “Our therapists conduct a comprehensive consultation to customise the treatment, ensuring it aligns with the guest’s needs. Every detail – from the lighting to the music to the final moments of rest – is thoughtfully arranged to help guests disconnect from the outside world and leave feeling completely renewed.”
And trust us, you’ll leave Mansard Spa by L’Occitane feeling glowing, relaxed and wanting to make this a part of your weekly routine.
