Spa Alaena opens in La Baule

Long associated with its Belle Époque villas, long sandy beaches, and seaside elegance, La Baule is currently experiencing a true revival. A new generation of hoteliers, chefs, and creatives are reinterpreting the resort's identity with a contemporary vision, without ever betraying its history. It is in this context that Les Cimes Bleues, the first establishment of La French Collection, the new hotel brand of the Giboire Group, opens its doors.

A reinvented La Baule house

A few steps from the ocean, in the heart of the La Baule-les-Pins district, Les Cimes Bleues does not seek to impress. The hotel favors warm hospitality, designed as a large house open all year round where guests come not only to stay but also to share lunch, have a drink, book a treatment, or simply enjoy the atmosphere.

Imagined by interior designer Dorothée Delaye, the place draws inspiration from the codes of La Baule houses while bringing a decidedly contemporary style. The curves of the facades evoke the movement of waves, while natural materials, soft lines, and plays of light extend the landscape into the interior spaces.

A destination designed to experience La Baule differently

The colors evoke the Atlantic, the greens of the golf courses, or the clay of the tennis courts. Every detail echoes the resort's identity: the headboards, the custom-designed furniture, and the bathrooms all recall the world of the great La Baule Derbies that have punctuated local life for decades.

Scapa celebrates Italian cuisine by showcasing the best products from the Atlantic coast: fish from nearby fish markets, vegetables from Nantes market gardeners, Guérande salt, and lobsters from La Turballe. A few minutes' walk away, La Cabane Bauloise offers a completely different atmosphere. Facing the beach, this address quickly becomes a meeting point for both La Baule residents and travelers, offering shared cuisine, sunsets, and a terrace open to the ocean.

The first Alaena Spa opens its doors in La Baule

The opening of Les Cimes Bleues also marks the arrival of Alaena in La Baule with its first spa. Conceived as a light-filled sanctuary, the Alaena Spa naturally extends the hotel's architectural identity. Inspired by the golden hues of the dunes at sunset, it combines natural stone, plant fibers, and warm light in a soothing atmosphere designed by Dorothée Delaye. In the center, an indoor pool adorned with an imposing starfish interacts with the hotel's gardens. Three treatment rooms, a sauna, a hammam, a tea room, and an outdoor terrace complete this new space dedicated to well-being.

A new destination on the Côte d'Amour

More than just a hotel opening, Les Cimes Bleues contributes to the renewal of La Baule. The address brings together architecture, gastronomy, design, and well-being in one place, while remaining deeply rooted in its local area.

For Alaena, this collaboration is part of a shared vision: to offer experiences where dermatological expertise meets places designed to slow down, rejuvenate, and sustainably preserve skin vitality.
