Secret Bay wears its name well. Its residential-style villas represent a secluded paradise of intimacy and romance for guests in search of the ultimate, off-the-radar getaway. Hidden among the trees of the lush rainforest of Dominica, these stunning residences overlook the Caribbean Sea from the heights of a breath-taking clifftop promontory with coveted access to a “secret” beach.
Designed by the famous architect Fruto Vivas, built from sustainably-sourced tropical hardwoods and radiating around a central restaurant and spa, the fully-appointed villas blend effortlessly into the unspoiled landscape, each with a private plunge pool and dedicated villa host or "butler", on-call concierge, chefs and guides. Generous floor plans enable seamless indoor-outdoor living with an aura of casual coastal elegance; and panoramic terraces, hammocks and daybeds are positioned to maximize vistas from your own tropical retreat.

In this former hillside monastery in Mallorca, asceticism lives on in the décor, where white walls shine forth against the deep blue sky.

Paul Cézanne missed Aix terribly whenever he left, and never ceased to be inspired by its beauty. Many after him succumbed to the charm of this town and the ambience of this Florentine residence. The rooms are sumptuously decorated, and open onto a private garden filled with the fragrance of lavender. The cuisine pays tribute to Provence with dishes like sautéed loin of lamb and aubergine caviar with olives, black garlic sauce and fried basil. Try the famous local speciality of Calisson, sweets flavoured with melon and orange. Villa Gallici offers a special “Cézanne package”, which includes a visit to the painter’s studio.

In this blue paradise, the tranquility is disturbed only by the sound of waves carried from the Anse de la Garoupe below–the cove can easily be reached via a short private path. Amid this unique landscape of umbrella pines and ochre rocks–scenery that inspired artists including Nicolas de Staël and Pablo Picasso–stands a large, beautiful mansion: Villa Miraé. Its guest rooms, adorned with natural materials and a palette of yellow, green or blue, evoke the surroundings. Each one features a terrace or balcony that opens onto the lush Mediterranean garden, where a swimming pool is nestled within. In the summer, the private sundeck on the beach, lined with succulents and laurel, epitomizes this oasis of coolness and calm. The Mediterranean vibe continues with the cuisine served at Villa Miraé’s two restaurants, where Chef Mauro Colagreco offers vibrant, refined cuisine.

The Pointe Restaurant

This fine early 20th-century mansion on the banks of Lake Annecy is a rhapsody of blue and gold: the blue of the façade and the lake viewed from the terrace meets the golden yellow of the wood cladding the walls and the sun that shines into the guestrooms through the large picture windows. This house offers an intimate setting with a warm, cosy ambiance. And all around is resplendent nature, as celebrated by the Chef's cuisine. Since 2010, Yoann Conte, following in the footsteps of Marc Veyrat, has drawn his inspiration from the passing seasons and their plants to reinterpret local cuisine, serving, for example, fish from the lake with fresh herbs and alpine flowers.
