The rooms
Rooms feature soft woods, chant-doré stone, and wide private terraces positioned to catch the pine-scented sea breeze.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated to 30°C, the outdoor infinity pool sits beside the sand under umbrella pines, facing the bay.
The spa
Guerlain treatments use a bespoke Riviera scent, and the thermal area includes a traditional hammam and snow shower.
At the table
Three-Michelin-starred La Vague d’Or serves seasonal Mediterranean tasting menus, and La Terrasse prepares lunches under the umbrella pines.
How it began
Built in 1936 as La Résidence de la Pinède, the seaside villa has welcomed Riviera travellers for nearly a century.
