Château Saint-Martin & Spa

The Château Saint-Martin & Spa exudes fairy-tale charm on the Côte d'Azur. Once a fortified Roman complex and a 12th-century Knights Templar commandery, the 5-star hotel is now the epitome of classic French elegance. Tucked away in the hills, the refined Provençal retreat promises understated luxury surrounded by olive groves to lose oneself in. A healthy mix of nature and relaxation is the focus here: you can relax wonderfully by the infinity pool, play tennis on one of the two sand courts, or let yourself be pampered in the 4,300-square-meter Spa Saint-Martin by La Prairie. Yoga and personal training are also offered. The rock-hewn spa offers signature caviar massages or honey-lavender treatments with Bamford botanicals in four elegant, light-filled wellness rooms. Romantics can indulge in a massage with roses from Vence under a jasmine-lined gazebo. Those looking to recharge their batteries should choose treatments with Reflexology or Lymphatic Drainage. And even the little ones will be royally pampered with Prince & Princess treatments at the spa.
