La Baule is one of the few French seaside resorts to have kept its standing. Eight kilometres of beach, the Belle Époque villas on Avenue des Lilas, the palace hotels along the promenade, a thalassotherapy tradition dating back to the 1930s – everything here speaks of a certain art of living. And within that art of living, massage has a natural place. Mélodie Nicot has long understood this: she travels directly to you, in La Baule, for VIP-level treatments in your own space.

Professional, bespoke in-home massage in La Baule
La Baule attracts a clientele who don’t need to be told what quality means. Permanent residents in the residential neighbourhoods, holidaymakers in the grand villas of the back-bay, guests at the luxury hotels along the promenade – all share one simple expectation: that the service lives up to the standard.
Mélodie Nicot meets that expectation. A professional masseuse for over 15 years, she works in private homes, hotels and at private events. She has worked with artists, elite athletes, public figures and private clients who all share one thing in common: they don’t want to travel to a spa. They want the spa to come to them.
What in-home massage in La Baule offers:
- She comes to your villa, apartment, hotel or residence
- 60, 90 or 120-minute sessions, depending on your needs
- A fully personalised approach – no standard protocol
- Absolute discretion and total confidentiality
- Flexible availability, including evenings and weekends
The difference from a traditional spa? You don’t travel. You don’t wait in a waiting room. You stay in your own surroundings, and the quality of the treatment surpasses what most fixed-location institutes offer.
Treatments offered in La Baule
Mélodie Nicot has built up more than twenty massage techniques over the course of her career. She doesn’t offer a fixed menu – she composes the treatment with you, based on what your body is expressing that day.
Californian massage
Californian massage is a deeply relaxing treatment with long, enveloping, fluid movements. It releases muscular tension, calms the nervous system and induces a lasting state of relaxation. It’s the ultimate recovery treatment – after an intense week of work, a journey, or simply to recharge while looking out over the bay.
Signature creative massage – 3 in 1
Mélodie Nicot’s high-end treatment. It combines three complementary approaches in a single session, built entirely around how you’re feeling in that moment. It’s the massage her most loyal clients – artists, actors, public figures – ask for on every stay. A unique experience, impossible to reproduce identically.
Lomi lomi
Originally from Hawaii, lomi lomi is a full-body massage with broad, continuous movements, performed with the forearms and hands. It brings an exceptional sense of fluidity and lightness. Particularly well suited to those carrying deep fatigue or chronic stress.
Facial massage
A precise, technical treatment targeting the face, neck, skull and shoulders. It releases jaw tension, frees cranial pressure points and provides immediate relaxation. Available in 60, 90 or 120 minutes.
Abdominal massage
A technical treatment targeting the abdominal area. It works deeply on the solar plexus and the digestive system – an area that holds a huge amount of stress without us always being aware of it.
Balinese massage with spice-filled compresses
A specific treatment combining warmth and aromatherapy. The heated spice-filled compresses release deep muscular tension while stimulating circulation. A complete sensory treatment, ideal for intensive recovery.
