Before diving into the enchanting experience of the Lily of the Valley hotel, let's take a moment to appreciate the aesthetics that permeate this gem, crafted by designer Philippe Starck, nestled atop its hill and facing the sea.
Every step inside Lily of the Valley triggers a sensory cascade. The Mediterranean atmosphere intertwines with a delicate sea breeze and the captivating aromas of the vegetation. The experience begins like a symphony where the senses mingle, creating an unforgettable first impression.
Starck has succeeded in imposing his style while making brilliant use of the natural setting at every stage of his work. Whether in the corridors bathed in light, the rooms with breathtaking views of the hills, or the restaurant with its 270-degree bay windows overlooking the elements. Between green hills and the sea.
A central concept: well-being
At the heart of the Lily of the Valley experience is wellness luxury, which allows the hotel to remain open year-round, while its counterparts opt for an annual break in their activities. Surrounding the 25-meter heated pool, the Shape Club offers experiences ranging from natural therapies to traditional medicine, sports activities to nutritional guidance. The treatments are sometimes less sophisticated than those offered at some thalassotherapy institutes, but the center "does the job." The hotel creates a personalized program to better meet your expectations and the realities of your body.
Facing the sea, the Vista restaurant dazzles the taste buds with local cuisine made from organic ingredients, local flavors, and fresh produce. A well-balanced cocktail of flavors that nevertheless comes at a steep price: expect to pay between €30 and €50 for starters and around €60 for main courses. If you want to extend your sporting and wellness experiences to your plate, lighter dishes are available on the menu, served by attentive and caring staff.
Peace and nature just 25 minutes from Saint-Tropez
Set amid unspoiled nature, Lily of the Valley is bordered by the splendid Gigaro Beach. Just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, the sea offers a natural embrace, creating the perfect backdrop for this Mediterranean haven of peace. When the sun sets over the sea, Lily of the Valley is transformed into a picture of tranquility, a getaway where luxury and serenity intertwine.
And as we leave this Mediterranean paradise, we spare a thought for Philippe Starck's other creations, which continue to beautify our world.
