What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the lines are clean and modern but the Jiva Hill isn’t minimal — the colors are rich, as are the materials, and the place just radiates comfort.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park, the grounds sit just across the Swiss border, fifteen minutes from Geneva Airport.
The rooms
Interiors blend brushed concrete and warm oak, while independent lodges feature private outdoor hot tubs and furnished garden terraces.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 17-meter heated indoor pool connects to the heated outdoor pool, edged by a 500-square-meter teak solarium.
The Nordic spa
A timber barrel sauna and cold plunge sit on the outdoor deck, beside an indoor hammam and stone plunge pool.
The spa and gym
Treatment rooms host Sothys face and body therapies, and the timber-walled gym is equipped with cardio machines.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Le Jiva serves seasonal French cuisine facing Mont Blanc, and Le Jardin prepares Italian trattoria dishes.
How it began
Architect Cristina Gherardi Benardeau shaped the estate by marrying Scandinavian minimalism with the open timber architecture of South African lodges.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
