Nestled in peaceful surroundings between the bustling Provencal city of Aix-en-Provence and the beautiful Luberon National Park, Villa La Coste is a haven of luxury, inspired by modern art, set on a hilltop in an estate spanning 500 acres. No stone is left unturned here, with premium service and pure tranquillity being some of their principal aims: guests stay in their own individual suites, many of which boast their own private swimming pools as well as spacious living areas, so it feels like its namesake – a villa, rather than a hotel.

Location

Aix-en-Provence is only a 20-minute drive away, although you wouldn’t know it. Villa La Coste’s prime location boasts unrivalled, 360-degree views of acres of parkland, vineyard, olive trees, and the Luberon National Park just beyond. Each suite is designed to maximise being in the heart of nature.

Facilities

Villa La Coste boasts an impressive range of premium facilities on-site, so you could spend days here without leaving. The estate is known for its modern art collection: you’ll find unique art pieces installed thoughtfully throughout the grounds, hotel, and in the renowned exhibition pavilions, which are open to all guests of Villa La Coste to explore. The prestigious winery, Chateau La Coste, is also located on-site – despite the estate’s modern influence and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities, it dates back to 1642. Villa La Coste guests will also enjoy massages, scrubs, and facial treatments using natural and organic products especially designed for Villa La Coste in the extensive wellness area, complete with hammams, floating beds and a rain shower room.
