Lily of the Valley La Croix‑Valmer 5*
A botanical wellness haven above Gigaro Beach.
Where Philippe Starck’s naturalistic architecture blends with holistic sports‑and‑detox luxury by the Mediterranean.
Hotel Overview
Lily of the Valley perches atop the Cap Lardier hillside above Gigaro Beach, split between the hill‑top Shape Club building and the beach‑level villas and club reachable by shuttle or a five‑minute walk. Designed by Philippe Starck and part of Leading Hotels of the World, the retreat harmonises concrete, marble and greenery. Its suites, lofts and hidden villas offer views of pine groves, sea or olive trees amid serene Provençal gardens. A destination equally about beauty and wellbeing
The Facilities at a Glance
Facilities feature a 25 metre heated outdoor pool, a luxurious spa with steam room, snow cabin and sauna, and expansive fitness and yoga areas in the Shape Club pavilion. The hotel’s private beach club at Gigaro includes two restaurants—Brigantine and Pépé—loungers, water‑sports, and an open-air dining bar. Nutritional‑gastronomy is available at Vista restaurant and the all-day Clubhouse Lounge. A comprehensive wellness studio supports detox, weight‑loss and sports retreats year‑round
Our Personal Recommendations
For an unforgettable stay, choose one of the Pool Suite Villas just steps from the beach club, with private terraces and plunge pools. Embrace the Shape Club’s signature detox or sports programme, which blends nutritional workshops, guided hikes, yoga, cryotherapy and culinary care. Mornings by the hillside pool feel meditative; afternoons at Gigaro, active. Sunset cocktails on the villa terrace turn the sky pink. A stay that balances wellness, privacy and Rivieran soul.
