La Réserve Estérel

The red rocks of the Estérel massif tumbling into the Mediterranean set the scene for this contemporary luxury hotel on a quiet stretch of the Riviera between Cannes and Saint-Tropez. Rooms range from garden-diagonal to full sea-face, some with sprawling open-air terraces. A spa, pool, private beach, and two restaurants cover all the bases, from elegant sit-down dining to something more suited to sandy feet.
