Perched on the cliffs of one of France’s most beautiful villages, Airelles Gordes La Bastide is a meticulously restored 18th-century residence. The property boasts terraced gardens, ancient stonework, and panoramic views of the Luberon valley that feel entirely cinematic.
The outdoor pool is set amongst lush cypress trees and ancient stone walls, providing an aristocratic lounging experience bathed in the legendary golden light of Provence. The sheer scale and historical accuracy of the property transport guests back to the French enlightenment.
Each of the 40 rooms and suites is uniquely decorated with antique furnishings, oil paintings, and opulent fabrics sourced from traditional French houses. The meticulous attention to historical detail is paired with modern luxury, offering views of the picturesque village or the sprawling valley below.
The vaulted stone spa by Sisley Paris offers a transcendent wellness experience. The indoor heated pool, reminiscent of an ancient Roman bath, provides an intimate sanctuary after a day of exploring lavender fields and local vineyards. Highly trained therapists provide botanical-based treatments that rejuvenate the body and mind.
Dining at La Bastide is an immersion into Provencal culinary arts. L'Orangerie offers refined regional classics on a spectacular terrace, while Clover Gordes by Jean-François Piège focuses on inventive, plant-forward cuisine. Guests can also enjoy curated picnics in the vineyards, private hot air balloon rides, and exclusive access to the region's most secretive wine cellars.
