Your journey
Arrive via the Autoroute du Soleil
TGV to Avignon then 30 minutes through the Alpilles — the landscape announces the change of pace before you arrive.
Estate first walk
Walk the olive grove on arrival afternoon, smell the garrigue, and see Les Baux rock above the trees — the estate's 70 hectares are best absorbed slowly on foot.
Provençal spa
Lavender oil massage, botanical body wrap, or hammam session using Alpilles aromatic plant actives — the spa menu is the hillside translated into treatment.
Les Baux village and Carrières de Lumières
Walk to the medieval hilltop village (800 m from the estate), visit the dramatic Carrières de Lumières immersive projections in the ancient quarry.
Golf in the garrigue
18 holes on the estate course — thyme-scented air, Alpilles rock formations, and olive trees between the fairways.
Provençal table and local wine
Dinner with estate olive oil, local vegetables, and Baux-de-Provence AOC wines from the vineyards visible from the terrace.
About
About this getaway
Domaine de Manville is a five-star luxury estate hotel at Les Baux-de-Provence, set within the Alpilles Regional Nature Park between Arles and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The property occupies 70 hectares of olive groves, garrigue scrubland, and pine forest at the foot of the Baux rock outcrop — one of Provence's most iconic landscapes — and combines a wellness spa, 18-hole golf course, and Provençal estate dining within a cohesive countryside retreat.
The Domaine de Manville Spa offers Provençal-inspired treatments using plant-based oils, aromatherapy formulations derived from local lavender and thyme, heated indoor-outdoor pools, hammam, sauna, and fitness facilities. The treatment menu includes deep-tissue massages, face and body rituals using Mediterranean botanical actives, and multi-day wellness programmes. Rooms and suites are designed in contemporary Provençal style — natural stone, warm linens, private terraces with garrigue and olive views.
For North American wellness travellers planning a Provence retreat, Domaine de Manville offers a rare combination: world-class spa and golf, authentic garrigue landscape, proximity to the stone villages and lavender fields of the Alpilles, and the culinary richness of a region that includes Les Baux itself (Michelin-starred Oustau de Baumanière is 2 km away), Arles, Saint-Rémy, and the Camargue.
The Domaine de Manville estate has existed in the Alpilles landscape for generations — olive cultivation, garrigue, and the limestone outcrops of Les Baux forming its natural boundaries. The transformation into a luxury estate hotel preserved the agricultural character of the land: olive trees that have been tended for centuries still produce fruit alongside the property, lavender and wild herbs scent the terraces, and the rough Provençal stone appears in the walls, pools, and outdoor spaces throughout.
