Club Med has opened North America's first L'Occitane-branded spa as part of a US$28m (EUR21.3m, £17.8m) redevelopment of the Club Med Sandpiper Bay resort in Florida, US.

The Club Med Spa by L'Occitane follows an agreement announced late last year and marks the conclusion of the renovation, with the spa "completing the wellness and rejuvenation experience" at the resort.

The 5,000sq ft (465sq m) spa boasts seven indoor treatment rooms, including one designed for couples' massages. Each room includes separate music, lighting and air controls.

A manicure and pedicure area, a Zen lounge and a L'Occitane boutique featuring more than 80 products also form part of the newly-opened spa.

Among the services on offer at the spa are the TOEtally About Me pedicures and Angelica Cheeks facials, which are designed for younger guests aged between eight- and 17-years-old.

Club Med North America chief executive officer Xavier Mufraggi said: "We're thrilled to offer Club Med guests the L'Occitane spa experience.

"Well-being is at the core of both the Club Med and L'Occitane philosophies which aligns perfectly with what our customers are looking for - a way to balance their lives through enriching activities and relaxation."
