Discover the World of Silence: Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel’s New Freediving Experience

Imagine diving into the serene depths of the French Riviera, leaving behind the clutter of scuba tanks, and embracing the quiet beauty of the underwater world. This dream becomes reality at the Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel, a 19th-century architectural gem nestled along Nice’s iconic boardwalk. With their new ‘World of Silence’ experience, you can explore the ocean in an entirely new way—freediving.

Guided by none other than Arthur Guérin-Boëri, a five-time world champion freediver and world record holder, this half-day adventure is more than just a dive. It’s a chance to connect with nature and yourself on a deeper level, as you learn the art of breath control, equalization, and mindfulness. Arthur, who also stars in the documentary film Sunny Boy, has perfected these techniques over years of athletic excellence, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of experience.

Your journey begins at the pristine Passable Beach in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, just a short drive from Nice. Here, you’ll start with breathwork and relaxation exercises on the soft sand, preparing you for the silent world that awaits beneath the waves. Under Arthur’s expert guidance, you’ll explore the underwater world like never before, surfacing with a new sense of accomplishment and a renewed connection to the ocean.

After your aquatic adventure, the relaxation continues back at the hotel with the Oceanic Bliss Ritual at Anantara Spa. This multi-sensory treatment, featuring Thalion’s sea-inspired products, includes a fragrant scrub, a personalized massage, and a nourishing body mask that revitalizes your skin with a carefully calibrated blend of minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. It’s the perfect way to wind down after an adrenaline-filled day.

The half-day ‘World of Silence’ freediving experience is priced at €1,400 per person or €1,700 for two people, with group dives of up to four participants available. The Oceanic Bliss Spa treatment is an additional €220 per person. For those looking to extend their stay, room rates at Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel start from €350 per night.
