The Manali Hotel
Driven by their passion for the mountains and the most beautiful altitude destinations, two families have combined their visionary ideas to create this unique hotel; leader of its category in Courchevel 1650. The property's fabulous setting is perfect for families and friends, offering a relaxing getaway for all to enjoy. This prestigious hotel takes its name from the Himalayan mountain village of Manali, a must destination for snow sports enthusiasts keen to discover the summits and neighboring valleys. It is a truly appropriate name for a hotel which sits at the foot of the world's largest ski area, at the heart of one of the most vibrant and lively resorts. Built in the style of a traditional wooden chalet, with its lauze slate roof tiles and copper drainpipes, the Manali hotel evokes a subtle air of the Indies and the most prestigious valleys. The 34 bedrooms and suites, (classic, family, deluxe and suite) feature balconies and terraces, offering a privileged vantage point from which to take in the splendid panoramic views over the ski slopes or the Dent du Villard peak.
Hotel du Castellet
Overlooking the "Golfe d'Amour" and its wild rocky creeks, the Hotel du Castellet and its magnificent hundred year old pine forest has a Tuscan atmosphere and suggests an Andalusian hacienda. The main
building and eight villas offer quietness and intimacy, in complete harmony with the luxuriousness of nature. The 47 rooms, of which 13 are suites, are spacious and well equipped with the best technology. All have their own private terrace facing south. The indoor pool and veranda, the outdoor pool with waterfall system, the patio shaded by arbors and the little pools reflecting the sun - everything at the Castellet has been created for relaxation of the body and wandering of the mind... Nicolas Sale, Chef of the “Monte Cristo” restaurant which is ideally situated opposite the park, invites gourmet lovers to discover fine cuisine full of creativity and delicate flavors.
Chiva Som
Here at Chiva-Som we're always busy researching the latest developments in all areas of wellness, so we're delighted and very excited to announce our new studio devoted to Kinesis. Fitness Manager Chaiyong Wongtungcharoensuk explains Kinesis as: “A new generation of exercise programme that aims to correct the balance between mind and body.” Kinesis is one of those rare things that its very simplicity is close to genius. A series of pull wires in a personal space allows anti-gravity resistance training utilizing a full range of the body's natural movements.
“When you use this equipment,” says Chaiyong, “the mind guides the body in a very natural way, so it's very harmonious. Its real asset is that it's multi dimensional. The unique design allows for over 200 different exercises that benefit general health improvement. “It's great for high intensity schedules for sports training and muscle strength, but is also perfect for toning, increased flexibility, better coordination, improved resistance and good posture, as well as breathing control.” It has an almost infinite variety of movements, which means you can work on varied regimes that not only suit you personally, but also keep your workouts fresh and interesting. Keeping it fun is half the battle.
“Kinesis is all about improving the quality of life,” Chaiyong continues. “And it's ideal for everybody – young, mature, male, female, individually or in groups – any experience level and any body type. With its natural, functional movement it's also proving to be brilliant exercise for rehabilitation programs. It really does suit the wellness needs of every user.”
