The Anantara Spa is the wellness facility of the Anantara Plaza Hotel at 12 Avenue de Verdun in Nice, in France's Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It sits in the central district near the Jardin Albert I and Place Masséna, a short walk from both the seafront and the tram line. The setting is a city-centre luxury hotel spa, designed as a quiet retreat from the busy avenue outside. The spa is notable for a local twist on massage: treatments use infused oils from Grasse, the perfume town in the hills behind Nice, which ties the experience to the Riviera's scent-making heritage. Alongside the massage menu, the spa has a hammam, a steam room and a relaxation room. There is no swimming pool, so the facility suits visitors looking for a treatment and steam rather than a swim. Treatments of an hour or more include access to the hammam and steam room, which makes the longer massage the better-value choice. An undated blog price lists a basic one-hour massage at about €195, and current rates should be confirmed when booking. The hotel's official website carries a spa page describing the offer, and reservations are normally arranged through the hotel. Its position near Place Masséna and the Promenade du Paillon places it within easy reach of the old town, the Cours Saleya market and the beach, which makes a spa session easy to combine with sightseeing. Visitors should arrive early enough to use the steam room and hammam before the treatment and settle in the relaxation room afterwards. The spa suits those who want a refined, quiet hotel setting in the middle of Nice and who value a regional touch in the products used, while those wanting a pool or large thermal circuit should look at other options in the city.
