"Built at the water’s edge against the red-rock Massif de l’Estérel, this photogenic 1950s modernist property offers retro-chic rooms with balconied sea views, a natural seawater infinity pool carved from the rocks, and a small lap pool on site. Its laid-back program includes pétanque, paddle boarding, vitality massages, and sunset cocktails at a breezy beach bar, while the Michelin-starred Récif showcases local produce and seafood sourced from nearby farms and a Raphaëlois fisherman; an expansion adding rooms, a gym, and a rooftop is forthcoming." - Mary Winston Nicklin
