Design Hotels has opened the new Spa by Cinq Mondes at Five Hotel and Spa in Cannes, France - a 250sq m (2,691sq ft) facility described as "a destination in its own right".

Jean Louis Poiroux created the spa, which boasts four treatment rooms - one of which is a double - plus two saunas, a Turkish hammam, a scrub table, a relaxation room and a gym.

The design incorporates "calming shades of white", while all body and face treatments are carried out with soft lighting and music personalised for each treatment.

Spa by Cinq Mondes at Five Hotel and Spa draws on cultures from countries such as India, Thailand, Turkey and the Polynesian Islands and also offers fitness training programmes.

The four-hour signature treatment, the Well-being and Serenity Ritual, gives a "first-timer a complete passage" through Cinq Mondes traditions and starts with the Turkish hammam.

It also includes an Indian spice scrub, a traditional oriental massage, a Japanese KO BI DO face and body massage and a leg massage, before finishing with lunch at the hotel's rooftop Sea Sens Restaurant.

A spokesperson said: "To truly prepare for a sun-soaked glam holiday on the Côte d'Azur, some indulgent spa therapy is a must.

"Spa by Cinq Mondes at Five Hotel and Spa, just upped the ante by not only offering truly top-of-the-line treatments, but also taking you on an exotic tour at the same time."

Five Hotel and Spa is a member of Design Hotels.
