OVERVIEWMarket mornings in Aix-en-Provence and Luberon, lunches beneath the olive trees, lavender fields and golden evenings shaped by the unmistakable light of Provence.
Staying in our beautiful, tranquil Provençal villa, surrounded by a private Provencal garden and private pool — you’ll explore local markets, enjoy private wellness sessions and take part in creative experiences inspired by the region, such as floristry, wine tasting, painting and a visit to a lavender farm for a soap-making workshop.
There will also be time to slow down, with afternoons by the pool, leisurely lunches, candlelit dinners and excursions to vineyards, storied villages such as Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Tourtour and L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and much more.
Created for women seeking beauty, connection and restoration, this retreat invites you to experience the romance and quiet magic of Provence at a slower pace.

Trip Duration
Provence is a region in the south of France, tucked between the Mediterranean Sea and low, sun-warmed hills, known for its golden light, lavender fields, and hilltop stone villages, all built around a pace of long, unhurried meals and a chilled bottle of rosé.
Painters like Van Gogh and Cézanne came here for inspiration, part of why the landscape still feels almost impossibly beautiful in person. Entire hillsides turn deep violet as the lavender blooms, and market stalls fill each morning with local produce, fresh baguettes and croissants. Here, a slow afternoon is the whole point.
design-led acommodation
Join us at one of our design-led private Maisons in the heart of Provence for our intimate Provence Retreat.
Every venue is carefully chosen for how it reflects the location and the spirit of the retreat, and for its atmospheric, sensory quality, meeting our discerning standards for beautiful spaces with soul.
stylish spaces
Each Maison, Hotel, or Château becomes the home of our guests and the heart of the experience during your stay with us. It is important to us that each space feels warm, private, elegant, and unforgettable, offering a sense of ease and belonging from the moment you arrive.
collaborative energy
Connection is at the heart of every retreat. You'll learn as much from the women around you as you will from your own journey.
We simply ask that you arrive with an open mind and an open heart, ready to share who you are, embrace new experiences, and collaborate.
creative workshops
Our creative workshops are led by a collective of artists, founders, painters, writers, makers, and interior designers, each invited to host and shape the experience for every retreat. Rooted in their own practice, they bring a different lens to each location, guiding guests through thoughtful, hands-on sessions, from painting and silk painting to soap making, perfumery, and jewellery making.
These are not formal classes, but shared creative spaces where process matters more than outcome. A place to explore ideas, experiment freely, and reconnect with your own creative inspiration. A chance to be your own muse.
culinary delights
Culinary moments are an essential part of the experience, thoughtfully woven throughout each day. Meals are prepared fresh using seasonal ingredients sourced from local markets, nearby farms, and handpicked French bakeries. Expect sun-ripened produce, croissants, quiches, still-warm bread, and simple dishes that celebrate the rhythm of the region.
Guests are invited to enjoy curated wine tastings alongside regional specialities that reflect the culture of the destination. Your final evening unfolds into something more intimate, where a private chef prepares a beautiful dining experience at our Maison.
experiences
Our approach is rooted in slow travel. Rather than rushing from one experience to the next, we create space to settle into the rhythm of the destination, with thoughtfully curated days that balance shared experiences, creative workshops, culinary moments, and time to simply rest and recharge.
Each retreat is designed to feel unhurried and immersive. From exploring local markets and hilltop villages to long lunches, private winery visits, wandering through lavender fields, lazy pool days, boutique shopping, and afternoons at café terraces, there is a natural flow between activity and stillness.
You will have time to recharge alone if that is what you need. It is about discovering the beauty of lingering a while, as the French do!
