Luxury wellness retreats at Hotel Grau Roig

Discover luxury wellness retreats at Hotel Grau Roig

A luxury wellness retreat in the mountains does not need a long list of promises. It needs silence, a good spa, sound sleep, good food and high-mountain air. That is what you get at Hotel Grau Roig, a boutique hotel and spa in the Grau Roig sector of Grandvalira that appears in the MICHELIN Guide, with one Key. You decide how many days and in what combination: here is what is on offer.

A spa of stone and wood

The hotel spa has a heated pool, a whirlpool bath, a sauna, a Turkish bath and a relaxation area, decorated in stone and wood, with soft lighting and pleasant music. It is open from 10 am to 9 pm and entry is free for hotel guests.

Body and mind, at your own pace

The basis of your retreat is the treatment menu, booked separately, plus free time for the water circuit. If you want some exercise, the fitness room has Technogym machines and is open 24 hours a day.

Eating well

The restaurants work with high-quality produce and the flavours of the Pyrenees. La Marmita focuses on market-led, seasonal cooking, a sensible choice if you would like something lighter after the spa. There are also La Vaquería, El Teatro del Vino, La Fromagerie and Secret Room.

Sleeping in the mountains

There are five types of room: Auténtica, Superior, Romántica, Junior Suite and Suite Deluxe. The property began as a mountain refuge, became a refuge hotel in 1974 and has belonged to the Sans Marfany family since 1986. That origin shows in the materials: stone, wood and calm.

The great outdoors

A retreat here also means getting outdoors. The route to the Pessons lakes starts from the Grau Roig car park, and the hotel has mountain guides who adapt routes to all levels. In winter, snow changes the plan, but not the idea.

Health and relaxation services and treatments at Hotel Grau Roig

The Hotel Grau Roig treatment menu can be downloaded from the spa’s website. It is worth looking at it before you come so that you can book in good time. These are the main categories.

Massages

The relaxation massage with aromatherapy uses essential oils. The chiro-massage, deep and either general or localised, works on muscle knots and aches, which is very useful after skiing or walking. The cranial and foot massage focuses on the head and feet. Lymphatic drainage helps eliminate fluids and soothes the nervous system. And the 360º Scens Experience Massage is a full muscle-release massage of the body, face and scalp with cannabis, arnica, patchouli and clove oils. There is also a children’s massage, up to the age of 15.

Back and exfoliation

A Healthy Back combines exfoliation and a remineralising wrap, a cranial massage and a back-release massage. Body exfoliation and hydration uses various salts with essential oils to restore the skin’s elasticity and luminosity.

Holistic therapy and Ayurveda

Holistic kinesiology seeks to reduce stress and rebalance the different systems: physical, mental, energetic and nervous. For Ayurveda, the menu includes the Padabhyanga foot massage, the great Marmabhyanga Ayurvedic massage, very relaxing and regenerating, and Heart and Soul (Kerala Abhyangam), a full-body massage that includes the abdomen and chest.

Rituals

Balinese Dream combines body and facial exfoliation with a massage using warm aromatic oils. The Grau Roig Luxury Experience brings together a body peel, a full massage and facial work. Hydra Intense Ritual is a facial and body ritual with ultra-nourishing active ingredients. And Body Remodelling for a Perfect Silhouette includes lymphatic drainage.

Facials

Botanical Facial Express uses organic and vegan products. Eternal Antiage Experience is a rejuvenating, firming facial with Kobido massage. The Oxygenating Facial is an ultra-detox ritual for dull skin. And Kobido Japanese Facial Lifting is an activating massage with serums and creams. Add-ons include face and eye masks.

Benefits of choosing a wellness retreat at Hotel Grau Roig

Choosing a wellness retreat at Grau Roig has more to do with the place than with any programme. These are the reasons that count.

Altitude and a true break

The hotel stands in the heart of the Grandvalira ski area, in the high mountains, away from the traffic of the valley’s urban centres.

A spa with everything to hand

You do not need to get in the car: you go from your room to the spa, and from the spa to dinner. That convenience is what turns a few days into genuine rest. If you are travelling with children, 10 am to 3 pm is the Kids Friendly period; from 3 pm to 9 pm under-16s are not allowed in, which those seeking calm will appreciate.

Summer outdoors

In the summer season, the Summer Lounge adds loungers for reading, fresh juices and cocktails, and an outdoor hot-water jacuzzi for up to 8 people.

Combine it with Caldea

If you also want thermal waters, Caldea, the thermal leisure centre in Escaldes-Engordany that opened in 1994, has an adults-only area, Inúu, and a panoramic lagoon. It makes a perfect half-day outing. For a broader view, read our guide to Andorra as a wellness destination.

Unique experiences at Hotel Grau Roig’s luxury wellness retreats

Here are some ideas for building your days. They are suggestions; you set the pace.

A winter retreat

Winter is Grau Roig’s high season, from November to April. In the morning, ski in Grandvalira, with its 215 kilometres of slopes; in the afternoon, a chiro-massage and the water circuit. If you do not ski, snowshoe outings lead to frozen lakes, and mushing, on a dog sled, is a quiet ride through the valley.

A summer retreat

Walk early, eat late and spend the afternoon at the Summer Lounge. The hotel has guides who adapt routes: if you have no mountain experience, that is the best approach for the Pessons route, with 5.95 kilometres and 707 metres of ascent. After the effort, lymphatic drainage or a foot massage is a natural choice.

A weekend for two

Several treatments on the menu can be taken in a duo cabin. With the Romántica room, a Balinese Dream ritual and dinner at El Teatro del Vino, with its cellar of more than 300 labels, you have a complete plan.

Dinner and a drink

If you prefer something informal after the spa, La Fromagerie serves fondues and raclettes. To finish the day, the Copper Bar.

Book your luxury wellness retreat at Hotel Grau Roig

A few practical details will spare you any surprises when booking.

Booking treatments

Treatments are booked through the link on the spa’s website. If you cancel on the same day or do not show up, a charge of 100% of the treatment applies. In high season it is best to book ahead.

Health and pregnancy

When you book, tell the spa team about any health condition, allergy or injury. The menu shows which treatments are suitable for pregnant women, so check it first.

Children

The minimum age for the spa is 16, except during Kids Friendly hours, from 10 am to 3 pm, when under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. The hotel also has a Kids Club.

Getting here

If you are driving between 1 November and 15 May, special equipment is compulsory across Andorra’s entire road network. Check mobilitat.ad before setting off.
