The Details

What makes it Kobu

Chef Vincent Maillard loves to take Mediterranean ingredients and use them to craft exquisite food. Through his dishes, he shares the stories of men and women, farmers, fishermen, market gardeners and other local produce enthusiasts. His meals reflect and celebrate this beautiful region set between the land and sea, and follow the rhythm of the seasons.

With Lily of the Valley, Philippe Starck created a hotel that does not impose itself on Nature, but adapts to it. The natural colour scheme, blend of wooden and wicker furnishings, airy spaces and the gentle, warm lighting, all come together to create a sense of complete calm which falls silently over the property. Get back to yourself and get back to your inner balance as you become immersed in the pure quiet The Lily of the Valley offers their guests.
