"Let Go" Hotels

Of course, we will always like the trips to the palaces. But to vary the pleasures, a new hotel wave delivers its vision of luxury, authenticity, and unpretentiousness. Everything we dream of in the end! For a romantic getaway or a moment of relaxation, created with passion by humans for humans, here are 5 places to discover urgently once the travel borders open.

CASA CAT BA

To give up everything to open a hotel-villa (5 rooms only!) On the beach of the Island of Holbox in Mexico, THE destination of the moment… This is the crazy bet of Colette and Pierre-Marie. This Bordeaux couple has imagined a decor that is both exotic and stylish, minimalist, and bohemian. In short, the ideal place to make unforgettable memories with breakfast and aperitif to take on the spot. Comfort, service, an atmosphere "like at home", finesse…. And above all a warm welcome, considerate, and always with a smile!

MENORCA EXPERIMENTAL

Welcome to the Balearic Islands where the 43 rooms (including 9 with their private swimming pool) and 9 villas await you.

The chef offers a Mediterranean-inspired menu using local seasonal ingredients. The little extra? Savour a tailor-made cocktail by the pool, in one of the intimate corners or in the heart of friendly spaces. Invitation to reflection, inspiration and serenity, this little corner of paradise benefits from top-notch staff.

THE RED ROCKS

At the edge of the water, facing the Ile d'Or, this temple of French idleness lets nature express itself, in the heart of a protected environment, between the sea and the Mediterranean garden. In the pine forest, 50 bright and refined rooms and suites, open to the sea, reveal their refined decoration, magnified by the modernist architecture of the place. Conducive to slow life, the hotel also has two swimming pools including a seawater pool, three bars and two restaurants, including one Michelin starred in 2019! The experience continues thanks to a nice program of activities: outdoor cinema, table tennis, diving, pétanque, yoga, hiking, sailing, and fishing ...

THE MEZZATORE

On Ischia, an Italian island known for its health benefits and where the director and master of luxury Luchino Visconti has taken up residence, the Pellicano Hotels group has set down its luggage in the 15th century Mezzatore tower. Overlooking a private bay in the Gulf of Naples, this hotel offers a special feature: the thermal waters are housed in the spa pools. In addition to the well-being experience in the rooms, suites and cottage, the pleasure of the taste buds is in the spotlight in the three restaurants. In the shade of palm trees, with a breath-taking view of the sea, the Baïa offers, in addition to the fish of the day, the typical dish of the island, grilled mussels with lemon, while you will taste the best Spritz of your life on the terrace of La Torra.
