The 3m euro(£2.71m, US$4.42m) Villa Thalgo has been built within a space that was originally a bank vault. With a total of 12 treatment rooms, the 8,611sq ft (800sq m) ‘marine haven’ facility was designed by Thierry Hazard of THPS and Alexia Sarkis of TSM with consultancy provided by Thalgo Spa Management. There are three main areas - Energising, Recreation and Relaxation.

Materials used include a blend of mineral and wood essences, to create a simple but luxurious atmosphere with a strong emphasis on the holistic. Completely supplied by Thalgo, equipment includes the Thalgoskin Expert micro-dermabrasion machine and an iPulse anti-cellulite machine.

Signature marine beauty therapies include a range of marine hammam treatments as well an energising Bamboo massage.

Located on the Paris Trocadéro at the heart of the 16th arrondissement, the new spa is near to the Musée de l’Homme and the Paris Grand Aquarium.
