Les Bories and Spa

Les Bories & Spa sits in 20 glorious acres surrounded by olive trees, lavender fields, cypress trees and aromatic gardens, so typical of the Luberon. With a Michelin-starred restaurant, two pools, both indoor and outdoor, a comprehensive spa with a sauna, Turkish bath, massage and treatments, this is the ultimate R and R retreat.

Each one of the rooms and suites at Les Bories & Spa are tastefully decorated in a smart blend of contemporary and traditional style. Spacious terraces overlook the rolling landscape and the scent of lavender fills the air from the aromatic gardens that surround the large outdoor pool.

Luxuriate in ancient spa therapies or set yourself a minor challenge with a round of mini golf. Play a game of tennis or wander down to the Village des Bories dating back to the 13th century. Return for to Les Bories & Spa for cocktails by the fountain or by the log fire in winter, before savouring some of Chef Pascal Ginoux’s inventive cuisine in the restaurant.

Unlike its namesake, Les Bories is a cool, contemporary oasis within the flowering wilderness of Gordes; a resort hotel with a gastronomic restaurant and host of luxurious facilities. Air-conditioned bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto a private terrace where one can sip a sun downer and listen to the cicadas. Les Bories also features shady terraces, inviting pools and colourful gardens that set a relaxing mood.
