The Anya Hotel in the city of Gurgaon, India, has added an Amaltas Spa by L’Occitane to its 117-bedroom property – the first L’Occitane spa in the National Capital Region, near New Delhi.

It is time that both residents and business travellers experience the revitalisation and Mediterranean art de vivre and traditional Provençal techniques.”

The opening of Amaltas Spa by L’Occitane at Anya, Gurgaon, comes at a perfect time since many customers are already familiar with the brand and will now be happy to experience the full benefits of traditional therapies fused with L’Occitane ingredients.”

The hotel is offering a limited number of VIP memberships so the spa which will allow these guests to receive members-only signature therapies, complimentary Provençal steam experiences, previews of new products and treatments, as well as access to these benefits at all participating L’Occitane spas in India
