High above the Côte d’Azur, between the glittering cities of Nice and Cannes, Château Saint-Martin & Spa by La Prairie invites guests to rediscover the essence of slow living. Nestled amid 14 hectares of fragrant gardens and ancient olive groves, this Oetker Collection Masterpiece Hotel reopened its doors in May 2025, just in time for spring’s bloom across the Riviera.
From its panoramic Mediterranean vistas to its refined wellness offerings, the Château promises an immersive escape steeped in natural beauty, refined elegance, and timeless French art de vivre.
A Summer of Sensory Delights
This season, Château Saint-Martin unveils Les Estivales—a celebratory summer soirée series blending live music, vibrant ambiance, and gourmet cuisine under the stars. Executive Chef Jean-Luc Lefrançois curates an abundant buffet of Mediterranean flavours, showcasing market-fresh produce, wood-fired specialties, and locally sourced artisan cheeses, complemented by delicate desserts from pastry chef Tanya Colella. Enhancing the festive mood, the high-energy Chris Cadillac Strolling Band offers an uplifting soundtrack with its dynamic live performances.
Elegant Accommodations with a View
The hotel’s hillside rooms and suites radiate quiet sophistication, while the six secluded Villas offer guests ultimate privacy paired with full access to the Château’s acclaimed amenities, including its infinity pool, Spa Saint-Martin by La Prairie, and four restaurants and bars. For a truly bespoke experience, Château Villa Rentals extend this signature hospitality to select nearby properties, complete with private chefs, daily housekeeping, and dedicated butlers.
Spa Saint-Martin by La Prairie: A Sanctuary of Wellness
For those in search of rejuvenation, the Spa Saint-Martin offers a luxurious haven inspired by the healing traditions of Swiss Cellular Science. Guests can indulge in La Prairie’s signature treatments or natural therapies by Bamford, delivered in serene surroundings—including al fresco sessions in a flower-draped garden cabana.
This season sees the launch of the Spa Membership Program, designed for solo wellness seekers or couples looking for shared moments of tranquility. The spa features four treatment rooms, including a duo cabin, plus a dedicated beauty suite. Members enjoy unlimited access to relaxation areas, fitness zones, and a curated list of privileges.
The Château’s Gastronomic Legacy
Gastronomy is at the heart of the Château experience. Le Saint-Martin, the estate’s fine dining restaurant, serves refined French cuisine with panoramic views across the Riviera. Meanwhile, L’Oliveraie, set beneath olive trees in the hotel gardens, offers a more rustic celebration of Mediterranean flavours. Executive Chef Jean-Luc Lefrançois, a fixture at the Château for over a decade, brings a deep respect for regional ingredients and traditional French technique to every dish.
A Celebration of Refined Simplicity
Whether wandering through sunlit olive groves, indulging in spa rituals, or discovering neighbouring Provençal villages, a stay at Château Saint-Martin & Spa is a celebration of life’s most enduring pleasures. Here, time slows down, senses awaken, and every detail is thoughtfully curated to offer guests an unforgettable taste of Riviera living at its finest.
