Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The La Reserve Ramatuelle is a Spa Sanctuary Outside St. Tropez

— November 27, 2010 — Art & Design
Retreat to the La Reserve Ramatuelle this year to find a relaxing sanctuary from the blistering cold winter months. Located just outside of Saint-Tropez in France, this building consists of half spa, half hotel.

Designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the La Reserve Ramatuelle not only looks like a temple, but also embodies the serenity and peace found within temple walls. Working with a breathtaking landscape, Wilmotte created spaces for guests to fully appreciate this piece of architecture in its entirety.
