Le Spa des Chapelles is a delightful 70m² private spa located in La Bruyère, 15 minutes from Namur in Belgium. Treat yourself to a few hours of well-being in an 18th-century farmhouse full of character. There's a sauna, Jacuzzi and private garden surrounded by bamboo and Mexican orange trees. In our opinion, this is one of the finest spas in the region! Watch our video at the spa entrance.

We had the opportunity to come here for 2 hours and it was even better than on the photos. What we liked best: the lovely fragrance throughout the spa, the feeling of cleanliness, the care given to each piece of equipment, the top-notch music playlist (we could have chosen any music we wanted) and towels that smell so good!
Sophie and Renaud are the charming owners of the spa. We've been in touch for several years to make sure the experience is top-notch. There's also Nancy, who looks after the spa and whom we've had the pleasure of meeting.
The spa is located in one of the wings of the Ferme des Dames Blanches, on the site of the village's former bread oven. It's a building full of character and charm.
The farm's origins date back to 1468, when the Carmelites (religious women known as the Dames Blanches) were expelled from Leffe when Charles the Bold sacked Dinant, and settled in Namur. The farm was founded shortly afterwards by the Carmelites in what is now the commune of La Bruyère.
The space can be privatized for 2 hours from 9am to 10:40pm in the evening. The last possible evening slot is 8:40pm. Prices start at 130€ for 2 people. Included in the price: 2 bath towels, bathrobes, slippers, unlimited water fountain, free-access herbal tea room and Gemology welcome products.
On site, you enter through a pretty courtyard with flowers and trees, surrounded by stone walls. There's always someone at reception, available on request or to serve extras.
In the spa, we love the fragrance of the linens, which take you far away! Particular attention has been paid to decoration and atmosphere. Facilities include a stone and Corian hammam, cedar wood sauna, Jacuzzi, infrared zone, salt wall, tropical shower, relaxation area and bamboo garden.
The Jacuzzi is set in an intimate cocoon in the center of the spa. It's made of stainless steel (for hygiene) and surrounded by exotic, luxurious Padouk wood. The basin measures 1.50m by 1.80m and offers 2 seated and 2 reclining places. Here's our video of the Jacuzzi.
There are a few extras: trays of sweets from a local artisan baker, island-flavored tasting trays and a mini-bar in the relaxation room. Service is via an opening hidden behind an old Indian door, so as to respect your privacy.
The spa is quietly located in the commune of La Bruyère, north of Namur in Wallonia, Belgium. Parking is easy along rue des Chapelles and rue des Dames Blanches. Feeling hungry? We recommend you try the Basile restaurant, just a few minutes' drive away. Cosy atmosphere in a large chalet, small menu and very good products, some of which come from the farm next door.
