2 Best Hotels in The French Riviera, France

Nestled in the countryside, this resort is larger than Monaco and comes with an impressive roster of amenities—four pools, two world-class 18-hole golf courses, a two-story spa, and five restaurants including Michelin-starred La Faventia and gourmet restaurant Le Gaudina, both recently refurbished. Each of the suites and villas at this Provençal Xanadu is equipped with a private terrace and marble bathrooms that have both a bath and separate shower, as well as exclusive Fragonard toiletries.

What it lacks in Provençal character, this plush hotel on the green makes up for in modern comforts—each suite, decorated in soothing tones of beige and gray, is an independent apartment that has a separate living room as well as a kitchenette. Most accommodations have vast terraces overlooking the 18-hole golf course, which, with eight lakes, is quite challenging; it's also exclusive, though it's open to guests at the hotel at a preferential rate. The Cinq Mondes spa, set in a 19th-century country house, and the freshwater outdoor pool are steps from the green. The Royal Garden restaurant serves Provençal cuisine with an ethereal modern touch.
