GOLF HOTEL DE VALESCURE & SPA NUXE in Saint-Raphael (Var), Provence

The Valescure golf course, the oldest 18-hole course on the French Riviera, borders the hotel and welcomes players of all levels with equipment rental at the Proshop open daily from 8am to 7pm. Free tennis courts, a pétanque area, and hiking trails in the Esterel massif provide additional outdoor activities. The hotel's private outdoor pool, set within well-maintained lawns, offers sun loungers and a relaxing setting after a game.

The NUXE spa provides a hammam (45° humid heat), a sauna (90° dry heat), a whirlpool bath, and a 'hot/cold' shower, all within a refined setting. Access to the wellness area requires a Nuxe treatment lasting at least 45 minutes, with optional slippers and bathrobe rental at reception. Two treatment rooms offer massages and cares, and a free-access herbal tea room completes the relaxation experience.

The hotel provides 62 rooms including 20 Charm rooms (24 m2), 14 Comfort rooms (32 m2), and 8 Junior Suites (32 m2), each with a private terrace overlooking the pine forest or the garden. Junior Suites and Luxe rooms include complimentary entrance to the relaxation area, and a room for guests with reduced mobility and a lift are available. Pets on a leash are accepted in the hotel and restaurant for a fee of €15 per night, and family-friendly Junior Suites offer separate living areas.

La Table de Valescure restaurant serves traditional Provencal cuisine with market produce, and guests can dine on a terrace by the pool or in a 160 m2 reception room. The Club House brasserie offers casual lunches and transforms into a lounge atmosphere in the evening, while Le Pavillon bar provides prestigious wines, whiskies, and cognac not found elsewhere. Breakfast is available as a varied buffet with cereals, pastries, fruits, and hot options, and pets on a leash are welcome in the restaurant.

The hotel sits in Saint-Raphaël, 10 minutes from the historic center of Fréjus with its Roman amphitheatre and cathedral, and close to the Esterel massif and Mediterranean beaches. For business guests, six meeting rooms from 32 m2 to 130 m2 are available for seminars, and team-building activities like golf introduction or buggy rides can be organized.
