In this exquisite setting, guests are invited to embark on a magical journey of holistic wellbeing that showcases the best of the Dior Spa expertise. A top-flight Dior Spa treatment program created exclusively for The Little Nell is designed to engage the senses and includes nine signature treatments for the face and body, each designed to help the skin and senses blossom.
Some of the highlights include:
Dior Aspen Ritual (90 minutes), the signature treatment is an immersive wellness experience dedicated to body or skin recovery. As an introduction to this treatment, an infrared therapy sauna session detoxifies and prepares the skin. For the body, a deep-tissue massage on an infrared mat and an invigorating body scrub offers a true sensory escape while eliminating toxins and revitalizing skin. For the face, a holistic mountain treatment redefines facial contours, while LED light and oxygen stimulate cellular repair.
The Midnight Treatment (90 minutes) is a facial that guides guests towards an instant feeling of release. Dedicated to resting the skin and mind, this treatment works to increase the nighttime benefits of sleep for transformed skin upon waking. As a prelude to this relaxing treatment, breathing and meditation exercises slow down the heart rate. Melatonin, the naturally produced sleep hormone, helps promote rest and relaxation. A facial massage using broad and slow movements encourages total relaxation for a luminous, soothed complexion. Combined with LED therapy, this treatment delivers results.
L’Or de Vie Miracle(60 minutes) is an antioxidant facial protocol that incorporates Yquem sap for longevity. Like a prelude to plenitude, it opens with a relaxing back massage that extends to the face to relax micro-tensions. The combination of Dior rock crystal with enveloping movements gives the skin a sensation of harmony and a visible transformation. To enhance the end of the treatment, a thermo-warming mask imbues the skin with its precious active ingredients. Step by step, the skin gains strength and resistance, while the face radiates with a divine glow.
Kobi-Dior (60 minutes), a facial treatment, is a high-performance treatment inspired by Kobido techniques. Reinterpreted by Dior, these techniques infuse their power into lifting muscular massages with rejuvenating effects. Deep and precise, they reshape and plump the entire face. Wrinkles are smoothed, contours resculpted, and facial volume is visibly reshaped.
D-Balance (60 or 90 minutes) is a body massage inspired by acupressure techniques. This energizing treatment combines specific and rhythmic strokes that tone tissue, release physical energy, and return each guest to a state of inner wellbeing. Bio-rhythms are stimulated to boost energy flow. This invigorating massage includes 10 minutes of infrared sauna therapy at the start of the treatment and is not available for pregnant women.
Constellation (60 or 90 minutes) a holistic body massage to completely unwind and relax the body. It includes 10 minutes of infrared sauna therapy at the start of the treatment, combined with slow and enveloping strokes for the entire body.
D-Tissue (60 or 90 minutes) is a deep-tissue massage for the body, that includes 10 minutes of infrared sauna therapy at the start of the treatment. It aims to release tension and reoxygenate muscles thanks to highly technical strokes. To help soothe body, a combination of strong and gentle meticulous movements helps eliminate toxins and relieve aching muscles.
