of The Valley
Wellness-first luxury with Philippe Starck design DNA. Calm, intentional, and slightly residential in feel — earthy tones, polished marble, exposed concrete, exotic woods. Not stuffy. The clientele spends mornings in aqua boxing classes and evenings at the Vista bar watching the sun go down over the Med.

Why It Matters
One of the few truly credible wellness hotels on the French Riviera — not just a spa bolted onto a beach resort. The Shape Club has won 'Best Luxury Spa Retreat', 'Best Luxury Wellness Retreat', and 'France's Best Wellness Retreat'. Philippe Starck's architecture, LHW membership, and year-round operation set it apart from the seasonal Riviera crowd.
Lily of the Valley is a 5-star wellness hotel perched on a hillside in La Croix-Valmer, about 20 minutes from Saint-Tropez. Philippe Starck designed it with a strict rule: nothing taller than the trees. The result is a low-key compound of residential-style 'houses' surrounded by the protected Cap Lardier nature reserve, with Gigaro Beach — a wild 5km stretch of sand — a short walk downhill. This isn't a party hotel. It's serious about wellness, with a 2,000 sqm Shape Club built around weight loss, sport, and recovery programs developed with nutritionist Jacques Fricker.
Where You'll Stay
13 room types available
Classic Room
Entry-level room located within one of the hotel's residential 'houses', with views onto the surrounding hills. At 35–40 sqm it's compact but well-finished: polished marble, exotic woods, natural leathers, and a private terrace. Not the most dramatic view, but the same quality materials throughout.
37 sqm
Classic Suite
Entry to the suite tier at 72–80 sqm, sleeping up to 3 guests. Views look out over the hills of Gigaro rather than the sea — more enclosed and private, with the wildness of the Cap Lardier nature reserve right outside.
76 sqm
Deluxe Room
35–40 sqm room looking out over the hotel gardens. A step up from the Classic in terms of position within the property — greener, softer outlook, with the same Starck-influenced interior palette of marble, concrete, and warm natural materials.
37 sqmDeluxe Sea View Room
The best of the standard room tier — same 35–40 sqm format, but with direct views of the Mediterranean. Private terrace facing the sea. This is the room to book if you want the Riviera experience without stepping up to a suite.
37 sqmDeluxe Sea View Suite
72–80 sqm suite with full Mediterranean views from the private terrace. Up to 3 guests. Significantly more space than the sea view bedrooms, with a proper living area and the same quality material palette throughout.
76 sqmGarden Deluxe Sea View Room
The top of the standard bedroom range — 35–40 sqm with sea views and a private garden attached to the terrace. More outdoor space than the Deluxe Sea View, making it feel much more villa-like.
37 sqmGigaro Pool Suite
95 sqm pool suite with private garden and pool. Named after the famous beach just steps away. Same Beach Club location as the Loft but slightly larger, with views framed by the natural landscape of the Cap Lardier estate.
95 sqmLily Suite
The flagship named suite, 72–80 sqm, with views onto the Mediterranean. This is the top of the standard suite range before stepping up to the pool suites. The name says it all — the hotel's signature room.
76 sqmLoft Pool Suite
Entry-level pool suite at 86 sqm, located below the main hotel opposite the Beach Club. Private garden and pool, surrounded by Mediterranean landscape. Feels more like a standalone villa than a hotel room — complete freedom, with hotel services on call.
86 sqmShape Club Suite
72–80 sqm suite oriented towards the Shape Club wellness complex. Practical choice if you're on a structured wellness program — you can see (and walk to) the spa from your terrace.
76 sqmSuperior Room
Same footprint as the Classic (35–40 sqm) but the outlook is onto the Shape Club wellness complex rather than the hills. Good for guests who plan to spend most of their time at the spa and want a visual connection to it.
37 sqmVilla Pool Suite
The largest pool suite at 210 sqm, sleeping up to 6 guests. Private garden and pool in the Beach Club area. This is essentially a standalone villa within the property — appropriate for families or groups who want full privacy without leaving the hotel's orbit.
210 sqmVilla W
The ultimate option — 250 sqm standalone villa with private pool and garden, sea views, and full hotel services. For a week or more, this delivers complete privacy with five-star infrastructure behind it. Set within a secluded private estate in the grounds of Lily of the Valley.
