Named after the ancient oak forest that surrounds it (quercus in Latin), this adults-only retreat is defined by its deep connection to nature. As the seasons shift, the forest wraps around the four wooden guest suites that are built to emulate early pioneer cabins. These accommodations totally immerse guests in this pristine natural environment, while on the inside, everything is designed to enhance their circadian rhythms. Red light therapy, organic bedding and natural amenities are just a few things that add to the holistic in-room experience. Beyond their rustic appearance, the suites-cabins offer generous living space and tasteful decor, where authentic local crafts sit alongside contemporary furnishings and natural materials such as wood, stone and glass. Outside, each terrace boasts a swing chair that’s ideal for a little forest bathing following a wood-fired sauna, cold plunge or an in-room massage. This vast estate, which covers about 4,000 acres, is crossed by the Flint River, making it the perfect spot for kayaking or fly fishing. The ecosystem is carefully protected by the property’s owners, guided by a reverence for the region’s indigenous legacy. Guests can explore the vast landscape on their own, or as part of a guided tour. One popular destination is the farm and vegetable gardens that produce the finest biodynamic ingredients, harvested according to the seasons and served at the tables of Uberto, in guest suites or on the cottage porch overlooking the pastures. Chef Ryan Smith has earned numerous accolades for the quality of his cuisine, in regional dishes that reflect the estate’s concept of living in rhythm with the seasons and in harmony with nature. A unique art de vivre to be enjoyed in an all-inclusive format. 

The striking beauty of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, defined by the distinctive shape of its famous saguaro cacti, is inextricably linked to the American West. The region, acclaimed for its climate and stunning vistas, has also long been associated with well-being and rejuvenation. With verdant gardens, expansive lawns and paths lined with towering palm trees, Relais & Châteaux Castle Hot Springs is an oasis of serenity and renewal.  Built at the end of the 19th century, and carefully restored to honor its storied past, the property blends heritage character with modern comforts. Guest rooms feature artisanal rugs, custom bathtubs and private patios or decks overlooking the surrounding mountains, creating a strong sense of connection to the natural environment. Therapeutic spring water is at the heart of the wellness experience, flowing through three mineral-rich pools of varying temperatures. Other guest activities include guided hikes, bike rides, spa treatments, yoga, farm tours, horseback rides and climbing. Chef Chris Knouse leads a culinary program in harmony with authenticity, inspired by produce harvested on the property’s on-site farm. These ingredients shape an ever-evolving, multi-course tasting menu that reflects the seasons and the desert landscape.

Set within the dramatic landscape of the Rocky Mountains, Telluride is a rare destination that balances a strong sporting heritage with a deeply refined sense of place. Ideally located in Mountain Village, Relais & Châteaux Lumière by Dunton is an elegant alpine residence that’s ideal for enjoying the mountains in every season. In winter, it offers ski-in/ski-out access to the region’s renowned ‘Champagne powder’–the impossibly fine snow that carpets Colorado’s slopes. At any other time of year, there’s also hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing or simply embracing the unhurried rhythms of life at altitude. Sporting spirit meets notable refinement in these elegant stone-and-wood surrounds. The property consists of 18 suites and penthouses featuring contemporary styling, carefully considered furnishings, open fireplaces and terraces. Its larger accommodations–which boast five bedrooms–are particularly suited to family vacations. All of them feature spectacular views of the mountains through large picture windows and from terraces among the fir trees. The property stands out for the quality and variety of services on offer, including an alpine restaurant, a heated outdoor pool, a private chef on request, attentive ski valets and a concierge team ever ready to organize outdoor adventures. 

In the south of Belize, a small Central American state rich in a remarkable cultural heritage, the Placencia peninsula is renowned for the beauty of its beaches. On Caribbean shores, along the world’s second-largest barrier reef, this seaside paradise is where our Association’s first property in the country can be found. The small private island of Placencia Caye is home to Relais & Châteaux Prana Maya Island Resort, overlooking a quiet cove where sailboats, kayaks and windsurfing boards are moored up. Its 17 suites and villas combine contemporary style with local craftsmanship, like magnificent carved wooden doors, aged by time. Each villa has its own stretch of dazzling sand with a private plunge pool, its blues rivaling those of the sea itself. After adventures on the water, beneath the waves to its coral reefs, or following relaxing treatments at the spa, head to The Grill at Praya Mana or to The Island Club. Both restaurants, overlooking the sea, are idyllic destinations in which to enjoy fresh, seasonal dishes that showcase all the flavors of local specialties. Beyond the calm of this private islet, it’s easy to reach the mainland to explore Belize’s luxuriant nature and its cultural treasures, notably the ruins of ancient Mayan cities. 

Amid the process of creating a new hotel in a historic Art Nouveau building-one that was originally inspired by Parisian townhouses- the owners of Relais & Châteaux El Cortés were very careful to preserve its authentic spirit. This large family home, dating from 1915, is typical of Roma Norte. This residential neighborhood in the Mexican capital is distinguished by its cosmopolitan atmosphere and the architectural mix of its homes. Wide avenues lined with restaurants, art galleries, shops and bars contribute to its lively and local energy. The recent renovations of the building have sought to preserve the charm of its earlier role as a private residence–both in its shared spaces, with their period furnishings, tapestries and ancestral portraits, and in its 15 rooms and suites. These combine contemporary comforts with nods to the past–epitomized by the beautiful touch of large claw-foot bathtubs or the burgundy marble of the washbasins. Wide, small-paned windows light up the rooms and often open onto balconies or pretty terraces shielded by the foliage of tall, pink-flowering bougainvillea. Behind its intricately decorated façade and monumental entrance gates, this refined refuge of artdevivre places gastronomy center-stage at Lotti restaurant, where Swiss chef Luc Liebster composes a culinary score where Mexican ingredients meet specialties of his homeland.

Set on a white-sand beach protected by the coral reef of Soliman Bay, Relais & Châteaux Jashita Tulum escapes the frenzy of the city. The Italian family that chose this small corner of paradise to build a seaside residence have created one of the most beautiful hotels on the coast. Comprising a series of buildings inspired by local architecture that seem to emerge from the natural vegetation, they house 31 rooms and suites with balconies facing toward the lagoon, with its ever-changing colors. The decor mixes natural materials and contemporary style, complemented by the many objects brought back from the family’s own travels. Its five villas, designed in the same spirit, are ideal for family stays. Although the property is outside the center of Tulum, it offers easy access to explore the Mayan ruins of the Yucatán Peninsula. Alternatively, simply enjoy the pleasures of a destination where time seems to stand still. Lay back on the immaculate private beach or by the pool, swim in crystal-clear waters or relax at Caoba Spa–against the glittering backdrop of the sea, this sanctuary of well-being offers a wide range of relaxing treatments. Next, experience the remarkable cuisine at Pandano, where Chef Antonio Romero Diaz combines the best local ingredients in a creative fusion of Mexican and Italian dishes. 

Along the shores of the ‘Turquoise coast,’ the south of Turkey is characterized by endless beaches and wild coves that give way to rolling hills, pine forests, vineyards–among the oldest in the country–centuries-old olive groves and ancient villages. Izmir, Western Anatolia’s principal city, is only about 19 miles away, yet Relais & Châteaux KeyUrla feels immersed in nature. This is a setting that’s wonderfully conducive to rest and rejuvenation, and to encountering a certain art de vivre. Recently conceived to follow the model of a traditional Anatolian village, with a square at its center and cypress-lined lanes, the hotel is arranged over 24 villas scattered across land encircled by vineyards. Designed by architect Han Tümertekin and constructed in local dry stone, each villa offers contemporary decor combining wood, metal, warm textiles and clean lines. Villas blend comfort with the refined spirit of the destination, opening onto terraces and flower-filled gardens. Deeply connected to these surroundings, KeyUrla exists in harmony with its neighboring vineyards and olive groves. That spirit is also notably on show at An Urla Restaurant, where seasonal Aegean cuisine pairs with locally produced wines. Outdoor activities abound, with beaches just 15 minutes away by car, hiking trails that wind through the forest and wineries to visit. Balance your exertions with a visit to the spa, where you’ll discover relaxing massages or facial treatments using vinotherapy-based products. 

In the heart of Megève, Relais & Châteaux Hôtel SaintGeorges elegantly reinvents the authentic Savoyard style that gives this mountain village its charm. Just a few steps from Rue Charles Feige–Megève’s lively pedestrianized shopping street–and close to the ski lifts, the hotel was historically a refuge for guests attracted to its warm and welcoming atmosphere. It reopened in December 2025 following a colorful renovation by Luke Edward Hall, who drew inspiration from Alpine myths and legends to lend a British sense of fantasy to the property’s rich heritage. Wood and thick carpets bring reassuring comfort, while handpainted frescoes, silky Pierre Frey fabrics, floral bathroom tiles, treasured objects and furniture accumulated over time create a unique ambience. With spaces and activities dedicated to children, Hôtel Saint Georges is also an ideal destination for family stays. After days spent on the slopes or hiking through alpine pastures, or following yoga sessions, the spa offers well-deserved relaxation and recuperation. The sense of well-being continues with dinner at restaurant Le Trappeur. Having made Megève his home, Chef Jérôme Blanchetière serves timeless bistro cuisine that is generous, precise, and guided by the seasons, while reinterpreting a few mountain classics with just the right touch. 

If Alsace is famous for the quality of its hospitality, it owes this as much to the beauty of its typical architecture as to the quality of its culinary tradition. Both facets can be found at Relais & Châteaux La Fourchette des Ducs, in the very heart of Obernai. It was originally the renowned automobile manufacturer, Ettore Bugatti, who, a century ago, initiated the construction of the magnificent property now occupied by the restaurant of Nicolas Stamm‑Corby and Serge Schaal. The cuisine combines precision and creativity in a delicate homage to Alsatian culture. A true temple to art de vivre, La Fourchette des Ducs also houses a cellar with 3,000 bottlings, reflecting the same sense of excellence and respect for terroir. The warm welcome provided by Maître de Maison Serge Schaal and dishes composed by Chef Nicolas Stamm‑Corby represent an exquisite moment of conviviality in a unique setting. Awarded two stars in the Michelin Guide, the restaurant offers two distinct settings depending on the season: the Salon d'Hiver, listed as a Historic Monument, decorated with magnificent marquetry by Charles Spindler and featuring items designed specially by René Lalique; and the Salon d'Été, illuminated by Baccarat crystals by Arik Lévy and boasting a charming terrace. The property is also renowned for the inventiveness of its desserts, conceived by pastry chef Louise Stenger, which turn the end of every meal into an unforgettable moment of sweet indulgence.
