Hotel b Design and Spa

From the old to the modern, this family-run spa retreat at the five-star Hotel b Design and Spa, is a touch of luxury just below Baux-de-Provence.

From the outside, it's every bit the typical country residence, shrouded by sun-dappled olive trees and overlooking fields of heady purple lavender, it's as much a part of the landscape as the limestone karsts it sits in front of. But the interior has a modern and understated comfort and simple design. Sleep, eat and wellness are the main focus of the hotel, combining a great setting, good food and a spa to revitalise and rejuvenate. It's time to take care of yourself and let go.
