Gran Hotel Bahía del Duque in Tenerife has signed an agreement with French cosmetics brand L'Occitane en Provence to open the first L'Occitane-branded spa in Spain.

As part of the deal, the spa at the hotel will be rebranded and a new treatment menu will be produced – embracing an emphasis on ecologically-friendly products and practices.

L'Occitane is currently working together with the resort's spa team on the new treatments, which will include holistic body and face treatments.

Facilities at the spa include 20 treatment rooms, five outdoor treatment cabins, three thalassotherapy booths, a hammam area, sauna and an open air sundeck.

A beauty and hairdressing salon, a 35sq m (377sq ft) salt water vitality pool and a health and fitness club also form part of the spa area, along with a chi studio for Pilates, Yoga and meditation and a garden café restaurant.

Alain Harfouche, general director of L'Occitane en Provence, said: "It is a real privilege and honour for us to be opening the first L'Occitane Spa in Spain at the prestigious Gran Hotel Bahia del Duque.

"The uniqueness of the spa's facilities, the professionalism of the team and the special attention paid by the hotel management to environmental issues have been key elements in the signing of this agreement."

Gran Hotel Bahia del Duque has an emphasis on eco-friendly operations and was recently granted the Biosphere seal by the Responsible Tourism Institute.
