A delightful colonial mansion, nestling in a coconut grove right at the water’s edge, is home to a tastefully appointed, charmingly refined little hotel. The soft, neutral shades of Flamant Home Interiors furniture in its individually designed guest rooms stand in brilliant contrast to the blue of the sea and green of the coconut palms, instilling deep feelings of peace and seclusion. The restaurant, also at the water’s edge, serves delicious creole and international dishes. However La Maison 20 Degrés Sud has two more treasures in store: the M/S Lady Lisbeth, the oldest motorboat on the island which, when evening falls, takes a party of guests to dine under the stars on the calm waters of the bay.

La Maison Bleue stretches out grandly alongside a private lagoon, a stone’s throw from the blue waters of the Red Sea. Set just outside El Gouna, a lively Egyptian seaside resort, the property was originally designed as a mansion for an investor wanting to host his family and friends in Middle-Eastern splendor. Now a boutique hotel, an adults-only establishment unlike any other in the region, this residence with architecture inspired by Italy and North Africa features colonnades, marble, coffered ceilings, and frescoes. The immense suites, facing the mountains of the Western Desert, are brimming with sumptuous silks, venerable furnishings, and a remarkable collection of antiques and objets d’art. 
In the restaurant, French chef Vincent Guillou crafts cuisine from market and garden ingredients to showcase the flavors of Europe and Egypt. La Maison Bleue provides a serene sanctuary for relaxing on the lagoon’s sandy beach, beside the swimming pool, or in the spa.

Le Restaurant

A discreet white property with blue shutters, typical of the Vendée region, is home to La Marine, the restaurant of Céline and Alexandre Couillon. This property, located directly on the small port of Herbaudière, at the north-west tip of the island of Noirmoutier, has become something of a mecca for gastronomy. From his parents, the chef not only inherited a restaurant, but also their passion for the sea (his father was a shrimp fisherman) along with strong values of hospitality and respect for produce. He runs the establishment with his wife Céline, as Maître de Maison. For his bistro-inspired menu, Chef Couillon selects only the finest seafood cultivated sustainably. Even vegetables come from his own kitchen garden. Guests wishing to stay the night will appreciate Maison Moizeau which adjoins the restaurant–its rooms feature bright marine-inspired décor, polished parquet floors, white walls and natural materials, and open their windows onto the port and its boats.

Wake up in front of the golf course, explore the mountains, the medieval villages of Liguria or the white sandy beaches of the Riviera, enjoy a shopping spree along the paved alleys of Alassio or simply sunbathe beside the pool. La Meridiana is a dream place for an unforgettable stay, with gourmet cuisine and a collection of great Italian wines from nearby Piedmont in the restaurant, Il Rosmarino, and local cuisine in “Il Bistrot”. This charming property on the Italian Riviera, between Monte Carlo and Portofino, will delight you with its warm welcome and attentive service. Dog lovers will enjoy the garden suites and the pet-friendly atmosphere.

Five minutes from downtown Calvi with its lofty citadel, La Signoria, an 18th century Genoese estate, is perfectly positioned at the foot of the Corsican mountains, but within close proximity to the beautiful sandy beach. The estate is set in a lush paradise of orange trees, palm and pine trees and gurgling fountains. Take in the intoxicating aroma of the maquis poolside, in the Jacuzzi or in the Spa Casanera. Guests will feel that they are vacationing at someone’s home. The charming, well maintained private beach “Signoria Mare” awaits them to sample the local flavours at the fisherman’s hut inspired restaurant.

JOIA

Hidden behind the main church, a beautiful 16th century palace blends into the whitewashed walls of the town. It is La Sommità (lit. The Summit), perched high above the historic centre of Ostuni. Behind the Catalan-style portal, a veritable oasis is unveiled. The harmony of white and cream tones, natural stone, and minimalist decor invite you to disconnect and recharge. Take the time to read under the shade of an alcove or at the edge of the little pool, get lost staring across the roofs of the city and the groves of olive trees stretching to the Adriatic, before savouring a refined and reinvented Puglian cuisine.

A stay at La Villa is a statement. This hotel stands for good taste. It offers a particular art of living. La Villa, much like a private club, is a haven for lovers of beauty, tranquillity and culture. Art permeates the entire hotel, from the painter’s canvas to the violinist’s bow, not to mention the keys of the piano. Culinary art too has some well-tempered chords to play. The views over the Bay of Calvi, the scents of the sea and the pine forests, the sounds of music mingling with the song of the cicadas, the flavours of the local ingredients, beautiful plasterwork cool to the touch... Just enter La Villa, across from the Citadel, and all your senses will come alive.

Delicately set on a coral islet, Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts is surrounded by the crystalline waters of one of Polynesia’s most beautiful lagoons, opposite the iconic Mount Otemanu. Not a neighbour in sight, the horizon boasts only lush nature and the immense, soothing expanse of the deep blue ocean. Here, three types of fare (traditional houses) covered with plaited pandan leaves welcome guests: villas nestled in the coconut grove, suites opening onto the beach or bungalows mounted on stilts in the lagoon. Creating an archipelago of tranquillity, their elegance is matched only by their comfort: you need simply venture out onto the terraces or to the private swimming pools to discover the Tāvai Spa’s magical treatments, explore  coral gardens with a mask and snorkel, or take a trip aboard the Okeanos Pearl, the property’s solar-powered catamaran. At this extraordinary site, every detail has been designed to satisfy the senses.

Overlooking Lake Annecy and facing the Bauge Mountains, Le Clos des Sens is a discrete historic manor built in 1866. Between contemporary preciosity, a rustic touch and true authenticity, the table setting continually dialogues with the works of art.
The lounge-fireplace design, the beautiful terrace with old chestnut trees, as well as the swimming pond that borders a remarkable garden of herbs, lend themselves to dreaming. As for the spacious rooms, they distinguish themselves by their strong character.

To love Marseille means to love the Mediterranean, inseparable from the city, just like Gérald Passedat’s three-star cuisine. First come sea anemones, bonito, sea urchins, crabs and shellfish. Then fish occupies the heart of his cuisine. More than 65 varieties are fished locally over the year, such as tub gurnard, rascasse, red porgy, comber fish, common dentex, in compliance with the guidelines for the protection of maritime resources. The cult dish is “Bouille Abaisse”, light, iodized and zephyr-like, and also the famous Lucie Passedat sea bass. Sea views are everywhere… from the terrace, from the restaurant and from your spacious bedroom, overlooking the distant horizon.

The Saint-James occupies buildings designed in 1989 by the famous architect Jean Nouvel. They nestle in the delightful little village of Bouliac, in a garden fragrant with lemon trees and antique roses. Inspired by the old tobacco drying lofts, four pavilions, linked by a gallery, create a modern pure space. Far away, you can see the Landes of Gascogne forest, the biggest collection of maritime pines in Europe. The gourmet cuisine is one of the major attractions of the Saint James: the chef serves cuisine which is full of flavour and based on local market ingredients, rounded off by the selection of wines from an outstanding cellar and panoramic views of Bordeaux.

Designed in authentic Polynesian architectural style, Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts is situated on a beautiful islet of the archipelago of the Society Islands. This coral sand island is a five-minute-boat ride away from Taha’a island, famous for its lush vanilla plantations and its black pearl farms. Idyllic, intimate and wonderfully preserved, the thatched huts on stilts of this retreat are in the heart of a natural setting of fascinating beauty, where an enchanting vanilla fragrance and the scents of lush tropical vegetation fill the air.

Nature on the Tuamotu Archipelago is so wild it feels like the world was just born. Le Tikehau is the only hotel on the atoll of the same name, stretching beside a beach of pink sand edging an endless lagoon. On Motu Tianoa, a private coral islet 15 minutes by boat from the atoll’s village, this property has a handful of bungalows that seem to float upon the crystal-clear waters, as well as a few villas perched by the lagoon’s sandy rim. Accommodations at Le Tikehau, crafted with local materials and roofed with nī’au (coconut palms), combine comfort, elegance, and simplicity. In the overwater bungalows, a glass viewing window in the floor lets you gaze upon the antics of native aquatic life, while those tucked beneath the coconut palms place you directly by the beach. Between coral-reef diving and relaxing in sun or shade, enjoy delectable meals at the Poreho restaurant and pampered moments of taurumi, the ancient massage technique using fragrant tiaré flowers.

The hotel basks in the scents of the maquis, perched on a hillside overlooking Palombaggia Beach. This is one of the finest beaches in southern Corsica, with its turquoise waters and white sands fringed by stone pines, and the Cerbicales islands in the distance. The elegant stone bastide boasts guest rooms overlooking the surrounding countryside which are simply decorated in natural colours and materials so as not to upstage its rare environment. La Table & La Terrasse de Mina ("grandmother" in Corsican), the restaurant, offers an introduction to the cuisine and ingredients of Corsica. It occupies a peaceful terrace next to an infinity pool that reflects the sky and the stars.

People say that the Silk Road started from this island; Korčula has good reason to be proud to be home to Marco Polo's house, a stone’s throw from Lešić Dimitri Palace. The building's history dates back to the 17th century, when the Lešić family, rich property owners and merchants combined a number of semi-detached houses to create a palace worthy of that name. It has been meticulously renovated yet with a touch of contemporary design; its historical character and original layout have been retained and it now offers a small number of independent suites. Each evokes a step in Marco Polo's journey towards China, in a harmonious décor, with top-quality materials.

From Miami to Key West, the main road through the Florida Keys connects a string of islands that straddle the Atlantic to one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. A true private islet covered in coconut palms, Little Palm Island almost seems to float on the sea. A five-minute boat ride from Little Torch Key is all it takes to dock at the pontoon and embrace the tropical atmosphere of this small resort, exclusively for adults. Setting foot on the sands of Little Palm Island feels like being admitted to a hidden sanctuary. Thatched-roof bungalows accommodate rooms and suites, all of which open onto nature through large bay windows. Louvred blinds, ceiling fans, weathered teak furniture and white linen curtains channel a chic, bohemian spirit, and guests will find no televisions or telephones in the rooms–the hotel has been designed according to a ‘no news, no shoes’ formula, to promote genuine disconnections with real life. Dinners take place in the restaurant overlooking the beach or–for the ultimate in romantic moments–directly on the sand. The resort’s enviable setting is an authentically preserved oasis which benefits from a program working to restore the coral reef and protect its precious fauna.
