In mid-September, as Paris transitioned from summer to autumn, I traveled to Cannes, a city known for its glamorous film festival and sunny coastline. The summer season was winding down, and the once-bustling Croisette, the main thoroughfare of the festival, had returned to a more peaceful rhythm. It was during this quieter time that Lucia Cannes hosted the third edition of its Social Wellness Days, a two-day event focused on well-being, beauty, and gastronomy in partnership with brands like Alo and Kosas. The event took place at a venue described as both beautiful and inviting, with a blend of elegance and relaxation that evoked the atmosphere of the TV series The White Lotus.
Lucia was created by the team behind the Nikki Beach hotel group, known for their maximalist, colorful, and pattern-filled designs. The name comes from the Latin word lux, meaning light. The space functions as a beach, a restaurant, and a bar, drawing both locals and tourists. The menu focuses on "sun cuisine," drawing from Mediterranean traditions with influences from Lebanon and Turkey. Diners can enjoy meals while lounging on the beach, with their feet almost in the sand. A standout offering was a wellness mocktail featuring spirulina and coconut, which was both refreshing and energizing. Other drinks included protein-based options for post-exercise recovery and turmeric-infused beverages for skin health and energy.
The wellness theme continued at the Longevity Bar, where well-being, beauty, and pleasure were combined in creative cocktails. On Friday, Kosas, a brand known for its care-focused makeup, hosted a "Glowy" masterclass led by Clotilde Sourisseau, a makeup artist who has worked with Anna Wintour during Paris Fashion Week. Attendees received a makeup kit, product samples, and practical tips that could be incorporated into daily routines. Later that day, a Pilates session led by Alo and taught by Sofiia Manousha took place on the beach. Though challenging, the setting made it a memorable experience.
The event continued into October with a special program in support of the League Against Cancer. Throughout the month, a portion of the proceeds from a "Pink Latte" will be donated to the organization, and a pink dessert will be offered by the pastry chef. Events include a charity lunch on October 2, a wellness and beauty morning on October 4, and a walk along the Croisette ending at Lucia on October 15. Overall, Lucia Cannes offers a unique and enchanting way to experience Cannes, whether through a beachside meal, a mocktail, or a charitable event. It's a place that makes one want to return.
