What People Are Saying About Le Petite Retreat Day Spa

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

This former private home on Larchmont has been converted into a tranquil French-Asian island day spa. A comfy fireplace and a large stone fountain flank two plush sofas. The large, immaculate bathroom features a shower and lockers. Treatments include the popular warm Zen stone deep-tissue massage combo; the signature Aquasonic microdermabraison facial; and the Aqua Latte and Flower Bath Medley, which offers a soak in a copper bathtub surrounded by candles, and accented by essential oils.

Their Swedish deep combo is the best

Their Swedish deep combo is the best because they go deep where I needed it the most but yet I got to enjoy a Swedish relaxation massage.
