Amavia Collection Villa Olivia Is Officially Europe’s Best New Hotel

Perched above the bay of Villefranche on the French Riviera, this ultra-luxurious villa combines five-star hotel services with green practices like organic sourcing and water efficiency. It’s available for exclusive hire only, so all five of the plush, terraced rooms are reserved for your group, with the master bedrooms offering coveted sea views. Despite being a private villa, you won’t be left to fend for yourself: meals can be prepared either on the 12-person terrace or in the 10-person dining room by Michelin star-experienced chef Alain Llorca, and you can arrange live music or even book a mixology class as part of your stay. - Liv Kelly
