What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s this new addition that you’ll find Villa Castellane’s rooms and apartments, the former spacious, clean-lined, and modern luxe, and the latter even more expansive.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Thermal baths sit just down the avenue, and the Verdon gorge and Luberon hills are an easy drive away.
The rooms
Rooms in the modern wing look out over the courtyard or pool, and apartments add full kitchenettes.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the outdoor mirror pool in the courtyard. Just inside, a second pool has hydromassage jets.
The spa and gym
Treatment rooms host Nuxe rituals beside a traditional hammam. Next door, rowing machines and bikes face full-height glass.
At the table
Le Pavillon serves Provencal cooking inspired by local terroir. In the lounge, a curved bar pours regional wines.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
