With its classic style and sweeping views over the Mediterranean sea, the La Réserve Ramatuelle by Jean-Michel Wilmotte sits quietly just outside St. Tropez in France. As a wellness retreat, the hilltop hideaway is part spa and hotel and embraces the tranquility of its surroundings. With the option of seven guest rooms (which can be rented short term or long term) or 16 suites, and a 1000 metre spa which are all set within a pine covered expanse, the resort is equipped for singles or families alike. The rooms range in size from 50 to 100 square metres and come equipped with private gardens and terraces. A personal chef is also on offer to conjure up any gastronomical delights you need. Each space within the resort pays tribute to its surroundings with Wilmotte's renovation of the 1950s buildings in which La Réserve Hotel and Spa is situated embracing natural colours and subtle classic styling to remain understated and timeless in its appearance. We are particularly drawn to the finer interior details like soft furnishings which illustrate some of our favourite designers including rugs by Paola Lenti and contemporary furniture by Hans J Wegner, Moroso, Flexform, Poltrona Frau and B&B Italia.

(NB. All of the furniture in this resort can be purchased in New Zealand - check out Design Folio magazine for where to go).
