Modernist cliffside hideaway
Luminous glass walls look past parasol pines to the Mediterranean, where check-in happens from plush armchairs overlooking the coastline.
“The lobby is especially striking as the sunlight pours in through walls of glass and reflects on the gleaming white curtains, armchairs, and sculptures.”

This Provençal-style property offers an excellent setting for enjoying the beauty of Southern France, with eight rooms, 19 suites and endless views of the Mediterranean.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched above Cap Camarat, the secluded hillside grounds sit minutes from medieval Ramatuelle village and the beach clubs along Pampelonne.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private sun terrace or garden, with floor-to-ceiling glass framing panoramic views of the open sea.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 100-foot heated outdoor lap pool stretches toward the pines, and an indoor hydrotherapy pool faces the gardens.
The spa and gym
The subterranean spa gym sits against an illuminated rock wall, and shaded outdoor daybeds overlook the open sea.
Restaurant
La Voile
Two-Michelin-starred La Voile serves light, vegetable-forward Mediterranean dinners crafted with herbs and produce from the garden.
Its 23 spacious rooms and suites, all with terraces or private gardens, have spectacular sea views and are nestled into a ridge overlooking a secluded cove.
At the table
Rooftop tables at La Muña serve Japanese-Peruvian fare at dusk, with terrace dining looking out across the Mediterranean.
How it began
Built on the grounds of a 1950s resort, the retreat reinterprets mid-century Riviera architecture using terraced concrete, glass, and ochre stone.
“The beautifully designed hotel features an expansive spa, offering such treatments as facials with La Mer beauty products, hydrotherapy, and body scrubs.”
