WHY STAY
Lily of the Valley is an intimate health and wellness retreat between the French Riviera and the vibrant Saint-Tropez, sitting on Gigaro Hill with infinite views of the French Mediterranean and stretches of sandy beaches below.
The owner and designer of the hotel, Philippe Starck, envisioned Lily of the Valley as a forty-four room haven, seamlessly blending into the environment, with its Provençal abbeys and Californian villas.
The focal point of the property is The Village - a well-being mecca, complete with a gym, a lap pool, consultation and treatment rooms, an herbal tea room, two saunas, a large hammam and a snow shower. The hotel offers many tailored treatments and programs based on holistic medicine and ancient therapies.
Spend the days relaxing by the pool and the evenings by the crackling wood-burning stove. Tune into your energy. Embrace the art of living.
WHY WANDER
Discover the raw and protected landscape of Domaine du Cap Lardier. Spend the day at Gigaro Beach. Take a drive along Côte d’Azur. Go mountain biking or hiking. People watch at Sénéquier café on Pampelonne Beach. Take a day trip to discover the French Riviera: Nice, Cannes and Monaco; or the surreal lavender fields of Provence.
INDULGE IN
Try rockfish soup with rouille or raw gamberoni with raw artichokes among many modern Mediterranean creations.
GETTING THERE
Fly into one of the Cote d'Azur airports and rent a car for a scenic drive.
WILD INITIATIVES
From energy-efficient lighting and water conservation measures to the use of locally sourced, organic ingredients in its exquisite cuisine, Lily of the Valley demonstrates a dedication to preserving the natural beauty of its surroundings.
