LILY OF THE VALLEY

Interior designer Philippe Starck has brought his signature eclectic style to the Cote d’Azur with this high-end hideaway, set above the beach at La Croix-Valmer, just over the peninsula from Saint-Tropez. With collections of bold modernist prints and an African vibe, the decor is striking, but the hotel’s real raison d’être is its wellbeing space, set in a 21,500sq ft space around and beneath one of its swimming pools. Whether it’s fitness, detox, weight loss or simply some R&R, there’s a programme and a team of trainers and therapists on hand to make it happen. Don’t forget to call in at the restaurant and its terrace for views of the wooded coastline towards Cavalaire-sur-Mer.

From €383 (£324), room only.
