Located just outside of Saint-Tropez in France, this building consists of [half spa, half hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-esencia). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borgo-dei-conti-resort), Wilmotte created spaces for guests to fully appreciate this piece of architecture in its entirety. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Temple-like Retreats:** Incorporating ancient architecture into modern design for a restorative and awe-inspiring experience. - **Wellness Tourism:** The merging of travel and self-care for a rejuvenating escape from daily life. - **Luxury Spas:** Expanding offerings beyond just massages and facials to provide a full-body and mind experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Incorporate holistic wellness design principles into the hotel industry for an elevated guest experience. - **Architecture:** Developing designs that imbue ancient architecture for a feeling of wellness and relaxation. - **Health & Wellness:** Taking inspiration from La Reserve Ramatuelle, refine and develop wellness spaces that offer a comprehensive approach to self-care. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tranquil Reimagined Wellness Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziedlejas.md) - [Tranquil Island Wellness Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanya-wellness-retreat.md) - [Tranquil Thai Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zemi-beach-house.md) - [Healing Architecture Spa Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inns-of-aurora.md) - [Serene Luxurious Hotel Spas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/six-senses-rome-hotel.md) - [Contemporary Luxe Thai Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centara-reserve-samui.md) - [Whimsical Tranquil Holiday Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-bunch-palms.md) - [Rejuvenating Ecological Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selenite.md) - [Culturally Influenced Residential Spas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dibdo-francis-kr.md)
