What People Are Saying About Le Petite Retreat Day Spa

Featured Review

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

by JAMES20178

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.
