LE CHEVAL BLANC

From the sun-infused vegetables to the morning-fresh fish, chef Arnaud Donckele is spoiled by the local larder for La Vague d’Or, his three-Michelin-starred restaurant that looks out over Le Cheval Blanc’s cypressshaded terrace. The acclaimed restaurant is the highlight of this hotel, but with a sublime Guerlain spa, an infinity pool and a private beach where therapists apply your sun cream with a facial massage, there are even more reasons to stay. With just 30 rooms, the interior design draws on cobalt-blue, white and neutral tones, while also celebrating the work of local ceramist Roger Capron, a contemporary of Cocteau and Picasso. The service, meanwhile, is impeccable.

From €600 (£508), room only.
