What it is

An extremely luxe and pampering retreat in Courchevel 1850, with a two level spa that looks like a Japanese ryokan, topnotch sushi restaurant, and unforgettable exploits.

What it isn't

Just for grown-ups. The hotel maintains a well-curated and design-forward kid’s club that’s open from 9 to 9; has ski lessons for toddlers 18 months and older; and so much more.

What we think

Aman may be a star studded celeb-favorite from Jackson Hole to Bhutan, but there is only one in France—and this is it. Pampering is paramount; your stay includes everything from daily yoga classes to ski valet service. Guest rooms are warm and welcoming thanks to parquet-inspired blonde wood walls and other ultra-luxe finishes. You may find the starting room, a 236 square foot Petite Chambre, perfect if you’re planning to spend all day skiing. But our favorite option is the Chambre Ski Piste with Hot Tub: you’ll have a mountain front Norwegian cedar hot tub on your private terrace adjacent to your 452 square foot room.

You're here because

Staff have curated experiences you’ll never forget, including hot-air ballooning, matcha tea ceremonies, dog sledding, tobogganing and so much more.

The Moment

You’ve eaten the best sushi in Japan, but somehow this indulgent meal at Nama is even better. You love the miso marinated black cod, but it’s the lobster and caviar roll that sends you into outer orbit.
