Daily Destination: Airelles Gordes, La Bastide in France
In the heart of Gordes, France you can travel to a village suspended between the sky and the lavender fields. Built on a rocky outcrop, the stately and elegant Airelles Gordes, La Bastide offers panoramic views over the unique Luberon valley. This luxury 5-star Palace hotel is located in one of the most beautiful villages in France.
Rooms & Suites
The decor of Airelles Gordes features over 2,000 pieces of art in their 34 rooms and six suites. This ancestral residence reflects the 18th century in all its glory. If you are looking for a charming stay, take a look at their Deluxe Village Bedroom. If you want a bit more space, there is a private villa that has a beautiful garden, shaded by olive groves and laurel trees. It also has a magnificent view of the valley, which is even more enjoyable to view from the private swimming pool.
Dining Options
There are so many luxurious dining options at this destination! Many of the restaurants overlook the valley so there is plenty of outdoor options for you. The French gastronomy at these locations are some of the best in the world. Just imagine dining under the stars with locally sourced ingredients prepared especially for you. They also have inside dining. One is set inside a vaulted hall to really pull in that Southern French splendor.
Wellness
Carved into the rock, Le Spa Sisley is an invitation to focus on the luxury of inner well-being. Away from the heat, the spa enables guests to savor an organic form of happiness. This special ambiance of the Spa is designed to recreate the atmosphere of the extraordinary abbey churches of the region. What I love about the massages here is that the treatments are preformed in relaxation rooms with wonderful views of the Luberon mountains. The spa also has a large indoor swimming pool as well as a hammam, a sauna and sensory showers.
Travel Tip: The Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, a Cistercian abbey, is a local National Heritage site. It is one of the best places to see Provence’s famed lavender fields. The abbey was founded in 1148 and welcomes visitors. It also provides overnight retreats.
