Thermes Sextius
Aix-en-Provence, France
About
A thermal spa in the centre of Aix-en-Provence, built over the town's Roman baths. Its Spa Sensoriel is sold as a day entry and holds saunas, hot and warm hammams, experience showers, a whirlpool and an ice fountain, with an outdoor pool in summer. Massages and body treatments are booked separately.
Good to know
- A historic sauna with heritage worth the trip on its own, whether the building, the tradition, or both.
- Hot tub on site: adds a warm-water option between the sauna and the cold plunge for a longer cycle.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Pool on site: works alongside the sauna for swim-and-sauna sessions or a longer cool-down between rounds.
- Pairs the sauna with spa services like massage or a scrub, so a session can sit inside a wider visit.
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
