Club Med announced an exclusive partnership with L’Occitane to create the first L’Occitane-branded spa in North America at Club Med Sandpiper in Florida. The spa will open in December 2011 and will mark the completion of a major $28 million renovation project for the resort.  The 5,000-square-foot spa will feature seven indoor treatment rooms including one designed for couples massages, a manicure and pedicure area, Zen lounge and a L’Occitane boutique featuring more than 80 products. The whole spa experience and interior decor was specifically designed for Club Med Sandpiper Bay to embody the genuine diversity of Florida, the Sunshine State, and the Treasure Coast’s protected ecosystem. The spa will also feature teen and junior treatments for younger guests ages 8 to 17.  In addition to expert treatments, the spa will offer a new yoga program with a range of classes.  With a focus on well being, the resort has added academies in tennis, golf and fitness directed by premier coaches in the industry.
