Crillon Le Brave, a luxury hotel nestled in the heart of Provence, France, is deepening its commitment to holistic well-being with a new series of nutrition retreats led by dietitian-nutritionist and naturopath Claire Borwin. The initiative reflects a growing demand for immersive wellness experiences that integrate mindful eating with broader health practices, offering guests opportunities to explore the profound connection between food, the nervous system, and overall vitality.
The partnership with Borwin marks a new chapter for the Provençal retreat, building upon its reimagined spa and dedication to providing guests with a sanctuary for rejuvenation. These retreats are designed to be experienced over time, respecting natural rhythms and fostering a gentle dialogue between body, mind, and nature. The focus extends beyond simply dieting, aiming to cultivate a deeper understanding of how nutritional choices impact physical and emotional health.
Exploring the Link Between Food and Well-being
The first retreat, “From the Plate to the Dream,” will be held on April 25th, and centers on the crucial relationship between nutrition and sleep. Guests will delve into how dietary habits influence the nervous system and the quality of rest, examining how what we eat, do, and feel prepares us for sleep – or hinders it. The events will take place at the property’s Maison Tilleul, an atelier dedicated to culinary workshops and retreats.
Beyond sleep, Borwin will lead workshops celebrating the benefits of specific foods, including chocolate and the tomato plant, as well as retreats focused on women’s health. These gatherings are designed as “successive breaths of fresh air,” inviting guests to explore nutrition, physiology, emotions, and everyday rituals. Well-being at Crillon Le Brave is presented not as a performance, but as a cultivated practice.
Enhanced Spa and Wellness Facilities
The expanded wellness offerings coincide with enhancements to Crillon Le Brave’s spa, which is located in the historic vaulted stone stables dating back to the eighteenth century. The spa now features a wet area equipped with a hammam, sauna, jacuzzi, and cold baths. Treatments continue to be provided by Tata Harper, a renowned brand in natural skincare, and are now complemented by Maison Caulières, a French institution specializing in plant-based care, and SeeMyCosmetics, known for its cutting-edge techniques and bespoke well-being protocols.
The hotel has also introduced new cottages and a second swimming pool, further enhancing the guest experience and providing additional space for relaxation and rejuvenation. These additions underscore Crillon Le Brave’s commitment to creating a sanctuary where guests can disconnect from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with themselves.
Upcoming Retreats and Events
In addition to the April sleep retreat and the ongoing series of workshops, Crillon Le Brave is hosting a “Summer Balance” retreat from May 8th to 10th. This immersive experience is designed as a transition into the warmer months, focusing on lightening both body and mind through workshops and shared moments exploring the links between microbiota, emotions, and vitality.
The broader wellness calendar for the region includes several industry events. From March 20-22, BEAUTY Düsseldorf will take place at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre in Germany. Later in the year, the ISPA Conference 2026 will be held at The Venetian Las Vegas from March 31st to April 2nd, and FIBO Global Fitness Exhibition Centre will be held in Cologne, Germany from April 16-19.
