The warm-oil Massages
To relax at Numa House, your private holiday home near Bordeaux
Through my travels, I have discovered magnificent spas and massage techniques from around the world. This experience inspired NUMA ZEN, a confidential massage space, exclusively reserved for Numa House guests.
Just a few steps from your villa, nestled in the garden, this intimate haven of wood and stone naturally continues the peaceful atmosphere of your stay.
The effectiveness of traditional techniques, combined with the enveloping warmth of oil, guides you into a state of deep relaxation, offering a moment of extraordinary gentleness to recharge and regenerate.
“The luxury of a private massage, in the garden of your holiday villa”
During each ritual, surrender to a deeply relaxing moment with the ancestral tradition of the warm towel placed gently over the face and feet. After your treatment, extend this peaceful experience with Dammann Frères tea, comfortably wrapped in your bathrobe on the terrace or in the cosy lounge.
Here, there is no need to rush: simply take the time to gently return to the rhythm of your holiday.
A massage experience that naturally fits into your holiday
Every stay has its own rhythm, and your massage experience naturally adapts to the way you wish to enjoy your holiday.
Upon arrival…fully embrace the beginning of your holiday.
In the morning… start your day gently.
After a day of exploring… ease away tension.
Before you leave, just end your stay on a high note with a massage.
