Mas Candille: A taste of California on the Côte d’Azur

Just a stone’s throw from the beaches of the Côte d’Azur and the art galleries of Mougins, Le Mas Candille stands in the heart of a lush 4-hectare park. The formal gardens, filled with the fragrance of lavender and jasmine, stretch to the horizon. The superb swimming pool invites contemplation, while the Glow House – Spa By Clarins promises moments of absolute relaxation. Then, in this charming hotel, the soul of Provence subtly blends with that of California. Between the sparkling sea and the rolling hills, a unique balance between the softness of the Mediterranean and the distant hills of Los Angeles. Mas Candille simply embodies sunshine and conviviality.

Mas Candille, an old Provencal farmhouse, has been transformed by the talented Franco-Mexican architect Hugo Toro. His bold intervention has preserved the historic soul of the place, while infusing it with 60’s design. Contemporary lines and subtle touches of Californian influences are admired. Carefully sourced furniture, ochre hues reminiscent of the warmth of the South, and objets d’art everywhere. Antique stone rubs shoulders with stylish elements, creating contrasts that, far from opposing, respond harmoniously to each other. The result? A luxurious hotel that seems to evoke the vast mansions of the West American coast. And with good reason! Mas Candille is a place where the big names have chosen to stop, attracted by this perfect marriage of cocooning and glamour.

Charming refuges under cypress and olive trees

The name “Candille” has its roots in the Provençal word “candélou”, meaning cypress. These majestic trees have watched over the estate for centuries, forging an intimate bond between nature and the soul of the place. The 19 rooms in the historic main building (Le Mas) harmonize with the song of the cicadas and the shade of the trees. Depending on your preference, the windows of these rooms open onto the peaceful gardens or the Grasse plain. Then, overlooking the park, La Bastide offers 21 rooms, situated between the two swimming pools. Whether you choose upstairs or garden level, these accommodations embody the elegance and comfort of Mas Candille.

The La Villa building, meanwhile, stands out for its more contemporary architecture, subtly integrated into the natural landscape. Nestled below, away from the other buildings on the estate, La Villa is discreet. Its suites are spread over two levels, where nature invites itself in to offer you a soothing spectacle. Whether you stay in Le Mas, La Bastide or La Villa, every moment spent here embodies the quintessence of well-being and the art of living on the Côte d’Azur.

To top it all off, children are welcome at Mas Candille! With slides, swings and board games, we’ve thought of everything so that our youngest guests can enjoy their stay to the full, with as many smiles as their parents.

The Glow House – Spa by Clarins

The Glow House – Spa by Clarins embodies pure well-being and glamour. To get there, you walk through a Mediterranean-scented garden, a veritable prelude to the experience that awaits you. This Spa, designed withClarins expertise, is an invitation to escape, a unique sensory journey.

Each wellness area bears a specific name in keeping with the unique “Glow” experience it offers. Sweat & Glow envelops you in the dry heat of the sauna, ideal for detoxifying and relaxing muscles, while Wet & Glow, with its warm vapors, deeply moisturizes and purifies the skin. To complete the ritual, the cold Freeze & Glow pool stimulates blood circulation and tones the body. And for bathing enthusiasts, two swimming areas coexist at Mas Candille: the hotel pool and The Glow House’s 25-metre pool.

The Train & Glow fitness area is equipped with the latest Technogym equipment. Finally, Dream & Glow, the relaxation area, invites you to take a meditative break or read a book. You can stroll without moderation in one of the many intimate nooks and crannies. A cocooning moment just for you!

High-end treatments for the ultimate glow experience

At the heart of The Glow House & Spa, each treatment is conceived as a true sensory voyage, thanks to Clarins expertise. Each ritual and treatment transports you into a bubble of well-being. For example, the Suprême Glow (90 min) is a must. This signature treatment, specially designed for Mas Candille, fuses Mediterranean influences with Clarins expertise. Combining face and body treatments, it revives radiance while releasing deep-seated tensions. The result is luminous, fresh and toned skin. Clarins Precious (90 min) is also a jewel! It combines ancestral Asian techniques with the powerful active ingredients of the rare “Queen of the Night” flower.

If you’d like to get off the beaten track a little, don’t hesitate to try out our more technical treatments. For example, the Capsule Glow or the LED Mask. The latter, with its numerous lamps, stimulates skin cells in depth. It targets the signs of aging with an effectiveness comparable to that of professional aesthetic treatments. Session after session, the complexion becomes more luminous and skin quality visibly improved. These two treatments awaken your glow!

Radiance, youthfulness and serenity are at the heart of the adventure.
