France: Villa La Coste

Monet’s Provence, Reimagined Through Contemporary Art

Set on a hillside between Aix-en-Provence and the Luberon, Villa La Coste is the all-suite hotel at the heart of Château La Coste, a 600-acre estate devoted to wine, art, architecture, and wellbeing. The 28 Villa Suites, each with a private terrace overlooking the vines and valley, carry the touch of a genuine roster of visionaries, among them Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, Tracey Emin, and Damien Hirst, with contemporary architecture built from local materials that leans into the natural setting rather than against it.

Dining centers on Francis Mallmann's fire-style restaurant, joined by additional venues from Tadao Ando and La Terrasse, set among extensive gardens and a pool area that mix indoor and outdoor space freely. The full-service spa offers seven treatment rooms using organic Provençal ingredients like lavender, rose, and olive, alongside a sauna, hammam, and relaxation lounge. Beyond the suites, the estate's 600 art-filled acres include a biodynamic winery producing acclaimed rosés and a lobby gallery with rotating exhibitions.
