Design & Character

‍
Built in the 1930s and revived by renowned designer India Mahdavi, the hotel blends Art Deco cues with coastal minimalism. Think soft terracotta, oceanic blues, and curved architectural details that echo the surrounding landscape. From the airy lobby to parasol-dotted terraces, everything feels sun-washed and intentional. The design is stylish without spectacle—chic, thoughtful, and full of Riviera soul.

The Rooms

‍
The 40 rooms and suites exude calm refinement, featuring custom furnishings and neutral tones that allow the Mediterranean views to take center stage. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame endless blues, while private balconies provide the perfect perch for morning coffee or sunset drinks. These are spaces designed for restful moments, not ostentation, where elegance meets comfort in quiet harmony.

The Food & Drink Situation

‍
Culinary offerings here deliver an impressive punch. Michelin-starred Elsa, led by chef Marcel Ravin, elevates organic, locally sourced Mediterranean ingredients into dishes that blend tradition with modern finesse. For casual poolside fare, Le Deck serves elevated brasserie classics with Riviera flair, while Jondal à La Vigie offers barefoot, toes-in-the-sand dining that feels both exclusive and relaxed.

Amenities

‍
The hotel’s amenities complement its laid-back elegance perfectly. The Olympic-sized pool offers a refreshing escape framed by swaying palms and chic loungers. The private beach is a sun-soaked sanctuary, with loungers arranged for maximum privacy and comfort. This summer, the Jacquemus collaboration transforms the Beach Club and Pool Café with bold banana-yellow umbrellas and signature stripes. Two on-site Jacquemus boutiques, open through October 2025, bring Provençal style right to your doorstep. There’s also a spa, which we get to next.

Spa & Wellness Scoop

‍
Wellness here is about gentle restoration. The spa features treatments by eco-conscious French brand PAOMA, delivered in sea-view cabins that feel more sanctuary than clinic. The traditional hammam offers soothing heat, while morning yoga classes in an open-air pavilion let guests greet the day with fresh sea air and expansive views. This is wellness without spectacle—thoughtful, subtle, and deeply satisfying.
