Spas in Nîmes

Our 5 favourite spas in Nîmes for a real wellness break

Between characterful hotels, private suites and wellness institutes right in the city centre, Nîmes offers genuinely varied spa addresses. Plenty of choice depending on the occasion and the budget.

Les Jardins Secrets

Behind a discreet door in Vieux Nîmes hides a former 18th-century relay post, turned into a hotel by a couple of artists, one a photographer, the other a stylist. The spa, named La Source des Secrets, sits inside an Italian-style cloister with a pool resembling a Roman bath and a hammam.

Treatments run high-end throughout, including a full Kobido facial ritual and a combined hammam, scrub and double-massage formula. For a special occasion, this is the most luxurious address in the selection.

• Price: massage (60 min) from €150; full Kobido treatment (120 min) €300; Bain Impérial formula, hammam, scrub and two massages (3h) €380
• Address: 3 Rue Gaston Maruéjols, 30000 Nîmes

Les Bains de la Fontaine

This 50 m² institute sits right in the heart of Nîmes, facing the Quai de la Fontaine. Body and facial treatments run on Ella Baché products, though it's really the hammam that draws people in.

A 10-entry pass is available for regulars, and beyond the hammam, the address also covers hair removal, manicures, pedicures and makeup. All hammam bookings go through the phone only, not online.

• Price: hammam access from €20 (combined with a treatment) to €30 (45 min, standalone); 10-entry pass €210
• Address: 15 Quai de la Fontaine, 30900 Nîmes

Orchid Spa

This spa combines a private space with a collective area featuring a heated pool, sauna and hammam. It's one of the rare Nîmes addresses offering both formats under one roof, leaving the choice open depending on the mood.

On the massage side, Thai, Californian and other techniques run subject to availability. The heated pool, sauna and hammam formula is bookable in advance, a practical pick for anyone wanting an aquatic space and a massage in the same visit.

• Address: 230 Chemin du Bachas, 30000 Nîmes

Maison Albar Hotels, L'Imperator

The spa at L'Imperator runs on CODAGE Paris products, a French made-to-measure cosmetics brand founded in 2010, with every formula built to adapt to the client's skin. The setup is complete: indoor pool, bain à remous, hammam, counter-current swim lane and solo or duo massage cabins.

The suspended outdoor pool stays reserved for hotel residents. For everyone else, spa access remains a solid option for a wellness break right in central Nîmes, inside a carefully curated hotel setting.

• Address: 15 Rue Gaston Boissier, 30900 Nîmes

Suite Spa No Idem

This address offers a private suite just steps from the Maison Carrée, down a small side street, with a bain à remous, a large bed, a bathroom, a kitchenette and, a genuinely unexpected touch, a giant projection screen for watching a film during or after the session.

Formulas are built for two, from a quick discovery ritual to longer formats with massages. It works well as a gift, for a romantic weekend or an outing between friends.

• Price: from €50 (Rituel Découverte, bain à remous and tea, 1h) to €63 (Rituel Tandem, with a 15-min scrub or massage, 1h15); longer formats with 30 or 40-minute massages also available
• Address: 5 Rue des Flottes, 30000 Nîmes
