La Croix-Valmer (Saint-Tropez area) / France

Near Saint-Tropez in La Croix-Valmer, Lily of the Valley brings a rare concept to the Riviera: a five-star retreat where longevity, movement and refined luxury shape the stay. Set above the Mediterranean with sweeping sea views, the hotel feels both private and energizing.

Movement is central to the experience. The Shape Club features a professionally equipped gym, studios for yoga and Pilates and a semi-Olympic sport pool designed for proper training rather than leisure swimming.

The Shape Club wellness space adds a strong recovery dimension, with sauna, hammam, treatment rooms and a cold plunge at 3°C as part of the thermal circuit, alongside treatments such as cryotherapy.

Structured programmes such as detox, sport performance and better aging combine coaching, nutrition and recovery for guests seeking a more guided longevity stay.

Dining continues the philosophy with Mediterranean cuisine that balances pleasure with nutritional awareness. Breakfast is served directly at the table overlooking the sea rather than as a buffet.

The result is one of the Riviera’s most distinctive luxury wellness stays, where sea views, high-end comfort and a serious focus on longevity come together.
