Tucked into the rolling hills of the Côte d’Azur, just moments from the famed artist enclave of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Le Domaine du Mas de Pierre redefines what it means to arrive in style. This five-star resort isn’t just a hotel—it’s a peaceful Provençal village of its own, where elegant stone bastides and lush gardens form the setting for one of the most refined retreats in southern France.
The Setting
Set on the outskirts of the walled town, the estate stretches across a manicured hillside filled with olive groves, palms, and lavender. It feels a world away from the bustle of the Riviera, yet Cannes, Nice, and Monaco are all easily reachable. With nine individual bastides housing 76 rooms and suites, you’re immersed in greenery and Provençal charm, all without sacrificing modern luxury.
Gardens & Grounds
Here, nature takes centre stage. Meandering stone paths lead past herb gardens, waterfalls, and palm-shaded courtyards. Sculpted lawns and vertical gardens soften the lines between architecture and the land. Hidden in this verdant sprawl is a true surprise: a lagoon-style pool complete with sandy beach, sunbeds, and cascading rocks. It’s part luxury resort, part private Eden.
Rooms & Suites
The rooms are tastefully modern while embracing the region’s natural palette—think terracotta tones, linen drapery, and marble-accented bathrooms. Every room features a balcony or terrace with garden views, while select suites offer outdoor bathtubs or private Jacuzzis. Thoughtful touches like Nespresso machines, plush robes, and high-speed Wi-Fi ensure comfort. For a serene adults-only experience, the Bastide des Fleurs delivers quiet sophistication with access to a separate heated pool and personalized butler service.
Pools & Spa
Mas de Pierre is home to three outdoor pools, including the serene adults-only infinity pool, a family-friendly main pool, and the stunning lagoon pool. But it’s the 2,000 m² SPA Pierre that steals the show—offering a herbal sauna, snow cave, salt room, indoor pool, and treatments using natural regional ingredients. Whether you want a hammam ritual or just a moment of quiet, the spa is a standout Riviera wellness destination.
Dining
Dining at La Table de Pierre is elegant and expressive, with Provençal and Mediterranean flavours served in a garden setting. Expect dishes like scallops with chard curry or slow-cooked lamb with seasonal vegetables—beautifully plated and garden-fresh. For casual fare, Lis Orto offers a summery bistro menu near the lagoon pool. A standout feature is the table d’hôtes evenings, where a handful of guests enjoy show-cooked meals on the terrace under string lights and Provençal skies. Breakfast? Think flaky croissants, fresh fruit, and perfectly steeped herbal teas plucked from the resort garden.
