Evian Resort? As in… the water? Yes, that Evian. The premium natural spring water, iconically branded baby blue and pink. Those sips come from a place named Evian-les-Bains. Overlooking Lake Geneva is this semi-quaint French town (where some residents use the luxurious natural spring water in their gardens). Here, visitors find the expansive Evian Resort, where the grounds extend more than 240 acres. On that land are three hotels: Hôtel Royal Palace, Hôtel Ermitage and La Verniaz.
The hotel’s Evian Resort Golf Club (with its Academy and two courses), a Kids Resort, a concert hall (La Grange au Lac), and a casino with a theatre, attract visitors to the destination annually. This past summer, the resort completed its two-year renovation work of the Evian Resort Casino.
But, it’s impossible to discuss the resort without mentioning the spa treatments, which are a popular draw for travelers all-year-round. Here’s all you need to know about Evian Resort in Evian-les-Bains, France.
What it’s like to stay at Evian Resort
The Hôtel Royal Palace is a European destination that’s nothing like the bustling streets (and suites) of Paris. You’re in the country now. From your hotel window—or balcony—you may be in view of the golf course, the sky, fresh air and Lake Geneva. While the external sights are undeniably beautiful, the best part of the hotel rooms might be the hallway that leads to a special lift. At the end of each floor, there is an elevator that leads travelers directly in front of the spa doors. So, cover up with a robe and find yourself directly at the entrance before and after treatment. This genius addition saves hotel guests from sharing the same small elevator space with those heading to and from the spa.
What a day at Evian Resort looks like
Like so many getaways, the day can be completely custom-curated. What makes this destination different is its outdoor and indoor offerings. Whether you are up early for breakfast (or room service), play a few rounds of golf on a world-renowned course, or want to explore town: the choice is yours.
Whatever you decide to do with your time, save part of the itinerary for a day at the spa.
What its like an the evian®SPA
Even if you aren’t getting a massage or facial treatment, the evian®SPA is a child-free place for rest and relaxation. The spa has an outdoor pool and an indoor pool. It also boasts a sauna, steam room, hot tub, cold plunge, snow cave and hydrocontact circuit. There are weight training and fitness rooms as well.
What the food is like at Evian Resort
At Le Bar, a chic circular bar, you can have a mixed drink or a nonalcoholic cocktail.
At La Veranda, under the painted blue and green ceiling, order fresh seasonal offerings. Breakfast offers a number of bread varieties at the buffet and plates on the menu. And for lunch or dinner, we highly recommend the burger, if it’s available.
What to do outside Evian Resort
With Switzerland a mere ferry ride away, there are so many things to do during a stay at Evian Resort. For one, a tour in town will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about the discovery of the natural spring water. By foot, you can see the lakeside promenade, monuments and restaurants. And not to forget: between the alps and Lake Geneva, you can also ski the slopes, visit a cheesemonger or chocolatier, stroll through the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, and more.
