A 19th-century architectural marvel on Nice’s boardwalk, Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel now invites visitors to explore beneath the waves with a new World of Silence experience led by Arthur Guérin-Boëri, a French freediver, five-time World Champion and world record holder. The star of the Sunny Boy documentary hosts a half-day freediving lesson to experience the French Riviera.

“Although breath-holding is an important aspect of the experience, it’s just one element of freediving. For me, it’s mostly about connecting with the ocean’s heartbeat,” explained Guérin-Boëri. “As divers gain confidence to venture deeper and stay submerged for longer periods, they seamlessly blend into the underwater environment, creating truly magical encounters with marine life while minimizing their impact.”

The experience begins at Passable Beach for breathwork and relaxation tutorials to prepare for the underwater adventure. Guérin-Boëri developed his method for breath control, equalization techniques and mindfulness, accessible to all levels, throughout his career as an athlete.

Back at the hotel, guests can enjoy the Oceanic Bliss Ritual at Anantara Spa for an additional fee. The treatment utilizes Thalion’s sea-inspired products in a multisensory treatment including a scrub, tailored massage and a nourishing body mask.

The half-day World of Silence experience starts at $1,536 per person, or $1,865 for two people, with group dives of up to four people available.
