Located deep within the lovely landscape of Provence, 5-star Château de Berne provides a stunning setting for a leisurely destination getaway or unforgettable corporate event.

Located in the Var region between Lorgues and Flayosc, this property is part of the Relais & Châteaux collection, and is spread across 1,270 acres (including 370 acres of organic vineyards), complete with 34 rooms and suites, and one indoor and two outdoor pools. The peaceful landscaped gardens feature umbrella pines and fragrant lavender.

Additionally, there are seven private luxury homes available, positioned within the estate’s vineyards and olive groves. Each can comfortably accommodate between three and 20 guests, all of whom enjoy personalized access to the spa, cooking classes, private tastings, a private chef and other bespoke services. Most luxury homes have their own pool, while all offer expansive terraces.

For dazzling gastronomic experiences, there’s MICHELIN-starred Le Jardin of Berne, under the direction of Chef Louis Rameau and Pastry Chef Eric Raynal. More dining options include Chef’s Tables; L’Olivier de Berne; Le Bistro; and The Bar du Château de Berne, where visiting artists perform during weekly live music evenings. At the on-site cookery school, lessons are offered on Thursday mornings, followed by a sampling of dishes accompanied by estate wines.

For corporate retreats, the hotel’s In-house teams can arrange everything from meeting set-ups to floral arrangements to culinary experiences. Up to 120 meeting guests can be accommodated, and a host of perks are available whether your stay involves business, pleasure or a combination of the two.

The full-service Spa at Château de Berne overlooks olive groves and vineyards, with facilities including a steam room, sauna, solarium, two Jacuzzis and a relaxation space with an herbal tea room. On-theme treatments include Oenotheraphy, which utilizes skincare products created from grapes. Signature treatments include a selection of rituals. Among these are the Kyoto Ritual with time in a private hammam and a smoothing Kobido facial massage; and In the Heart of the Vines, an anti-aging grape body wrap and relaxing massage. Guests can also enjoy reiki treatments, private yoga and guided meditation sessions.

Review: JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: After finishing business meetings in Miami, I arrived at JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort in the early evening as the sun was beginning to set over the gulf. The resort, directly situated on 3 miles of gorgeous, white-sand, private beaches, provided an incredible backdrop as the valet gathered my luggage. After a swift and easy check- in, the bellman led me to the Lanai Tower on the sixth floor.
