Lily of the Valley is set on a wooded hill in La Croix-Valmer above the Mediterranean, with Philippe Starck’s low mineral buildings designed to sit within the landscape rather than dominate it. Fifty-three rooms use rattan, wicker, marble and natural textures, and each opens to a terrace; pool suites add private outdoor water space. Wellness is central, with four structured programmes, extensive treatment and fitness facilities and two pools. Vista and Brigantine provide distinct dining settings, while a separate beach club sits on Gigaro Beach below. The combination of hillside gardens and the coastal club gives the hotel two different relationships with the surrounding Côte d’Azur.
