New ila wellness retreat offers ‘a touch of magic’

Leading natural and organic skincare and spa brand ila has launched a new healing space in the south of France called Maison ila, Le Trésor.

Located in the Aude region of the Languedoc Roussillon, the former chambre d’hôtes in the village of Sonnac-sur-l’Hers, has been converted into a seven-bedroom wellness retreat location for the ila brand.

Set in verdant gardens, Maison ila has a main house with five bedrooms, a communal dining space, a snug and a yoga and sound healing studio. A separate cottage offers two further bedrooms, a living space and kitchen.

Therapies for face and body will be performed in the treatment room from a menu that includes ila’s new CBD Collection.

Yoga, meditation and sound healing will be complemented by wild swimming in natural pools with wild movement specialist Alli Suddaby. Maison ila will welcome other visiting practitioners throughout the year.

Having spent the recent lockdown at the property, ila’s founder, Denise Leicester, said: “There is a touch of magic here that lends itself perfectly to the creation of a dedicated ila space and we are so excited to welcome our guests to escape here with us.”
