Coquillade Provence Debuts “Coquillade Vitalité” Wellness Retreat October 12-15, 2025
Tucked into the lavender-scented hills of the Luberon, Coquillade Provence announces the launch of Coquillade Vitalité. This three-day wellness retreat is crafted to awaken the body’s innate healing potential. Rooted in the rhythm of Provençal living and blending ancient wisdom with modern longevity science, the inaugural program will take place October 12–15, 2025.
Curated by Frédérique Verley, former Beauty & Wellness Editor-in-Chief of Vogue France, and guided by holistic therapist Charlène Muscat, founder of Hertz & Feel, this immersive retreat redefines wellbeing as a sensory, soulful journey. They are joined by Sonja Kuikstra, naturopath, hydrotherapist, and wellness author, as well as Cécile Gaillard, Spa Director at Coquillade and a native of the Luberon, whose deep knowledge of phytotherapy and regional plant healing informs every element of the experience.
Designed to foster vitality, balance, and connection, Coquillade Vitalité is inspired by five epigenetic pillars: movement, nourishment, rest, emotional balance, and connection. Each day invites participants to slow down and realign with nature through breathwork, forest bathing, energy therapies, cold plunges, thermal rituals, and deeply nourishing cuisine. From sunrise meditation to starlit reflection, every moment is intentionally crafted to harmonize body, mind, and spirit.
The retreat is anchored by Spa Coquillade, the largest spa in the region, offering 2,000 square meters of wellness space. Highlights include heated indoor and outdoor pools, hammams, saunas, sensory showers, and relaxation lounges nestled among Provençal gardens. Treatments draw on premium skincare lines like Tata Harper and Nescens, combining nature-led healing with scientifically backed results.
