La Réserve Ramatuelle Hotel, Spa and Villas
Minimalist retreat with a top-notch spa




On a secluded hilltop overlooking the rocky coastline west of the Pampelonne beaches, this low-slung Jean-Michel Wilmotte-designed wood-and-glass gem has 19 suites with south-facing terraces and eight guest rooms as well as 14 spacious garden villas. But beyond the wild splendour of the site, the 930sq m spa is the real deal. Expect customised programmes by nutritionists, a heated indoor lap pool and a “boot camp” for fitness. The health-conscious Michelin restaurant, La Voile, is pure heaven for calorie-counting gourmands.
