Sixty-three rooms in a restored 11th-century Luberon hamlet, on a 100-acre Aureto wine estate. The 6,000 sqm spa is one of the largest in Provence; the working vineyard surrounds every accommodation.
"63 rooms in a restored 11th-century Luberon hamlet. 6,000 sqm spa, working Aureto wine estate, 100 acres of vineyards."
Coquillade Provence Resort & Spa occupies a restored 11th-century Luberon hamlet — the hamlet of Coquillade in Gargas, in the heart of the Luberon — on a 100-acre estate that includes the working Aureto wine estate (the property's own vineyard producing AOC Ventoux wines), the original 11th-century stone hamlet buildings, and the supporting structures restored over a multi-year programme. The property opened as a five-star luxury hotel in 2008 and has expanded the spa and dining programme since.
The 63 accommodations split between rooms in the original 11th-century hamlet buildings (with restored stone walls and ceiling beams), the Heritage Suites (the larger configurations in the main hamlet), and the Family Suites and multi-bedroom Bastide accommodations. Every room retains original architectural features. The Heritage Suites overlooking the vineyards are the most-requested category; the multi-bedroom Bastide accommodations work for family trips.
The Coquillade Spa at over 6,000 square metres is one of the largest spas at any Provence luxury hotel — exceptional given the property's hamlet setting. The spa includes heated indoor and outdoor pools, a hammam, a sauna, treatment cabins, and a comprehensive wellness menu. The estate's particular wellness anchor is the cycling programme — the property has a substantial bike fleet (including BMC racing bikes for serious cyclists) and runs guided rides through the Luberon's celebrated cycling country.
Dining is at three restaurants. Le Gourmet is the headline Provençal fine-dining in the original hamlet's stone-walled main building. La Bistronomie is the more relaxed all-day. The Wine Bar is the cocktail and wine venue with the estate's Aureto labels at the centre. The wine programme is naturally Aureto-focused; the cellar is comprehensive on Côtes-du-Rhône and broader Provence. Coquillade is the family-friendly Luberon luxury answer with the unusual large-spa and cycling-programme differentiators.
Coquillade's 6,000 sqm spa is the largest at any Provence luxury hotel. Multi-day wellness programmes combining spa treatments, the cycling programme, and the estate's organic-garden dining produce a substantively-wellness Provence stay. For travellers who want the wellness component to be substantial.
For anniversaries the Heritage Suites overlooking the vineyards are the right scale. The 11th-century hamlet setting, the working winery, and the spa's depth combine into a Provence anniversary stay. The Aureto wine tasting with the estate's winemaker is a particular feature.
The multi-bedroom Bastide accommodations and Family Suites, the swimming pools, the kids' programme, and the cycling routes through the Luberon (the property has children's bikes available) work for families. The 100-acre estate and the working farm operations give children unusual immersion in Provençal rural life.
