Lily of the Valley, France JEROME MONDIERE
New, family run, luxury hotel, Lily of the Valley sits on the slopes of the
Gigaro hills above six kilometres of fine sandy beach, near Saint Tropez.
The chic interior design is by Phillipe Starck but the main reason to visit is
for the impressive wellness village dedicated to weight loss, diet, sport and
healthy living. It features a semi-Olympic pool heated all year round,
treatment and consultation rooms, saunas and a snow shower. Wellness
expertise is based on a combination of holistic medicine, ancient therapies
and innovative techniques, managed by a leading French doctor and
nutritionist. After a personal evaluation and consultation, a bespoke
program is designed for each guest with private sessions with dieticians
and coaches, and a choice of over 70 activities, from yoga to aquatic sports
or from indoor cycling to mountain biking.
