The experiences

Much more than a stay

Booking your lodge is only the beginning. What really makes Souki is the experiences you choose to live here

The experience Souki

Everything comes to you

We have imagined a place where you never need to leave your refuge. Here, well-being is not found in a shared spa, dinner is not taken in the restaurant and the most beautiful moments do not follow any imposed program.

Your pool becomes a space to let go. Your terrace hosts your yoga session. Your lodge is transformed into a massage room. In the evening, we cook for you before serving dinner at your home.

You could spend three days without leaving your lodge. And yet, experiencing something different every moment. We book a lodge. We come to Souki for what we experience there.

Signature experience

Janzu, our signature experience

Janzu is difficult to explain. Because it doesn't look like anything else.

Carried in the 32°C water of your private pool, your body lets itself be guided by the slow movements of Cécile. Tensions are relieved, breathing slows and the water seems to gradually make the weight of the body disappear.

Halfway between aquatic treatment, meditation and weightlessness, the Janzu invites you to deeply let go.

Many of our travelers discover it at Souki. Many people talk to us about it long after they have left.

Treatments

Our practitioners come to your lodge. The treatment takes place where you are staying, on your terrace or indoors depending on the light and the season — never in a shared cabin. Each protocol lasts an hour, and we shape it with you on arrival, around what your body needs that day.

We work with KOS PARIS oils and products, chosen for their plant extracts and their pure essential oils.

See the nine treatments

The body

Relaxing massage: The one most people ask for. Light to medium pressure, slow sequences, over the whole body. For anyone arriving stiff from a long drive or a heavy season.
Deep tissue: Firm work on tension that has settled in: back, neck, shoulders. More technical, less soothing. For bodies that work hard.
Sports massage: After exertion, or before it. Stretching and targeted pressure on the major muscle groups. It follows a coaching session or a walk up the Pic de Vissou particularly well.
Foot reflexology: A full hour on the feet alone. Pressure on the reflex zones. Unexpected if you have never tried it, and deeply restful.
Scalp massage: Scalp, neck, face and shoulders. Given fully clothed. For anyone whose head is too full.
Pregnancy massage: Adapted to pregnancy, lying on your side, with oils chosen for it. Do let us know when you book.
Treatments for two: Most of our treatments can be taken together, at the same time, in your lodge.

The face

KOS PARIS facial: The house’s full protocol: cleansing, exfoliation, mask, massage. Matched to your skin type after a few minutes talking it through.
Kobido: Japanese facial massage, highly technical and entirely manual. It works on the muscles and the circulation, with no device and nothing invasive. The lift and glow are immediate.

No journey · No waiting · Without meeting anyone

Yoga

Yoga at sunrise

When the hills wake up and the cicadas have not yet taken over, Marie joins you for a private session.

The breath finds its rhythm. The body wakes up gently. Facing the hills, the terrace becomes your practice room.

Whether you are a beginner or a regular, each session adapts to your level, your energy and what your body needs that morning.

Sports coaching

Taking care of yourself sometimes requires movement. Benjamin imagine a session entirely personalized according to your level, your objectives and your energy level of the day.

Muscle strengthening, mobility, cardio, physical preparation or trail outing on the surrounding trails Souki : no session is the same.

When the effort ends, your pool heated to 32°C is only a few meters away. Even recovery comes naturally.

III · Dawn

Morning, in a wooden chest

Every morning at nine, we cross your terrace on tiptoe to leave breakfast outside your tea pantry. If you are still asleep, you will not hear us.

The large wooden chest was made especially for Souki by a master cabinetmaker. Inside, we compose a different picture every morning. A surprise of local produce, home recipes and the season, that you only discover when you open it.

Loïc’s bread is made with ancient wheats, local flours and natural sourdough, all organically grown. The jams come from La Fée Confiot, under the Nature & Progrès label. The cheeses are made a few kilometres from Souki, at the Mas Rolland farm — their AOP pélardon among them.

The eggs come from here, laid by our hens. They live in what we call the third lodge — the only one we never take a booking for.

To this we add pastries baked each morning, our home-made yoghurts gently infused with rose geranium, and fruit chosen as the seasons go.

You open the chest whenever you wish. Then the morning can begin, or wait a little longer.

Breakfast included in every stay · Left outside your tea pantry every morning at 9 am

VI · Evening

Dinner in your lodge

Every evening, we compose and cook your dinner. A single menu we call the Menu Balade, shaped by the seasons, by our kitchen garden, by what our producers entrust to us and by what we feel like that day.

The walk begins with several amuse-bouches, continues around a dish inspired by the day and a selection of cheeses, and ends on a sweet note.

There is nothing to choose. Nature does not choose either. And cooking each evening for four guests at most lets us give every plate an attention we could not offer to forty.

We work with fresh, local, organically grown produce. Some comes straight from our kitchen garden, the rest from producers we know and whose standards we share.

While you enjoy the last light on the hills, we are already in the kitchen. At eight, we come to serve dinner in the privacy of your lodge. No dining-room noise, no neighbouring table. Only yours.

In your lodge, a cellar and a minibar await you: white, red and rosé wines, champagnes and other sparkling wines, beers and soft drinks. The drinks list and its prices are available on site.

Hosting is part of our story. So is cooking for you.

Served at 8 pm in your lodge · Single menu that cannot be adapted to allergies or food intolerances · Booking at least 72 hours before dinner · Drinks not included, list available in your lodge

Custom made

What if your stay really resembled you?

At Souki, there is no imposed program.

Some choose a stay entirely dedicated to well-being. Others alternate massages, walks, wine tastings and long hours in their pool.

Some prepare a marriage proposal. Others simply come to find silence.

Each couple creates their own stay. We are here to advise you and bring together the experiences that will give these few days a story that will belong only to you.
