Escape to Tranquility
In our fast-paced world, taking time for yourself isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. What better way to unwind than in a serene spa environment, designed to help you let go of stress and embrace pure relaxation? A spa offers the perfect setting for a day of rejuvenation, where you can leave feeling refreshed and revitalized. We went to Calicéo near Versailles.

A First Impression of the spa near Paris: Calicéo in Saint-Cyr
From the moment we stepped into the spa, we were greeted by an ambiance that exudes freshness and modernity. The entrance and beauty salon have a distinct Scandinavian design—clean lines, natural materials, and a soothing color palette that immediately set the tone for our day of relaxation. After securing our belongings in the spacious, secure lockers, we were ready to fully immerse ourselves in the experience.

Entering the spa area itself, we noticed a shift in ambiance. The space is predominantly white—bright and clean, though it could benefit from a few more natural elements to enhance the calming atmosphere. But this didn’t detract from our enjoyment; the environment still felt peaceful and inviting, setting the stage for a day of pampering and fun.

The routines in the spa
The central area of the spa became our playground for the day. The large pool, with its bubbling whirlpools and gentle current, was perfect for unwinding and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. Surrounding the pool, there were various routines to explore, adding variety to our experience. The saunas offered the perfect combination of warmth and relaxation, while the cold plunge pools provided a refreshing contrast that invigorated our senses.
The hammam rooms were a highlight, with their soothing aromas and gentle steam creating a serene escape. We also had a blast with the cold bucket challenge—pulling the cord and feeling the exhilarating splash of ice-cold water was an experience we won’t soon forget! The mist showers and the pathways through warm and cold baths offered even more ways to refresh and rejuvenate.
Outside, we found a large pool with more whirlpools, surrounded by sun loungers where we could relax, chat, and enjoy the fresh air. The panoramic sauna, though not boasting the most breathtaking views, still provided a cozy, warm retreat where we could unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings.
Drinks and snacks in the sauna
While the spa did offer hydration stations with water and sparkling water, there were a few things we wish we had known in advance. The tea room was unfortunately empty, and there were no snacks or light refreshments available for purchase. To make the most of your spa day, it’s wise to eat beforehand and perhaps bring along a small snack.

Extra’s in the spa
As our day came to an end, we appreciated the clean and well-equipped showers, although shampoo was not provided. The ladies’ room offered hair dryers for a quick touch-up before heading out, but we did notice that the bar with creams was empty—another small detail that could have made the experience even better.
Would we recommend the spa near Paris?
In conclusion, we had a truly wonderful day at this spa—a clean and organized retreat that offers a range of routines perfect for relaxation. While the spa itself could benefit from a few more natural elements and some additional amenities, the overall experience was delightful. The time spent in such a peaceful setting made for an unforgettable day.
