The 93-key resort pairs sensitively restored historic buildings with chic new accommodations, extensive wellness offerings, and eight dining venues serving Provençal, Asian-fusion, and multi-sensory cuisine. Accessible only by boat, it’s a secluded retreat where art, nature, and the understated Riviera style come together with effortless allure.
