Great food goes hand-in-hand with the finer things in life, such as luxury villa rentals and jet-set living. So, when it comes to vacations, choosing a destination that is popular with foodies is no bad thing. After all, five-star dining is one of the great luxuries of life.
When it comes to dining out in style, the Michelin-star experience sets the bar high. Today there are in excess of 2,650 restaurants with an acclaimed Michelin-star to their name. If you’re a lover of luxury, then you’ll know just how exceptional these restaurants are.
To inspire the refined palette, here are some of our favourite destinations that have Michelin-star restaurants within reach.
One of the gems in the gastronomic world is Saint-Tropez. There’s tons of award-winning restaurants hidden around its cobbled streets, waterfront walkways and luxury villa rentals. But for a truly awe-inspiring meal La Vague d’Or is a must. It has been awarded not one, not two, but three Michelin-stars and is a true celebration of locally sourced produce at its best. Why not go all out and sample the Epicurean Adventure, taking guests on a culinary journey with stunning food and drink pairings.
There’s something about Ibiza that alights the senses. From its breathtaking hillside fincas, to its spiritual sunsets and world-famous super clubs with mega sound systems. So why would the food be any different!?
Bringing this perfectly to life is Sublimotion – a thoroughly modern and exciting eating experience. Experimental Chef Paco Roncero has created something magical with theatre, interactivity and technology transforming the mealtime experience. A one-off kind of dining adventure, this is one restaurant you have to visit!
The bright lights and bustling port of Marbella is known for its high jinx. As home to a jet-set community, there’s also plenty of high-end restaurants for the discerning diner.
Set within easy reach of the luxury vacation homes nearby, you will find Dani Garcia. Modern Andalusian cuisine is the order of the day, with a menu designed to impress. So much so, that the dishes resemble beautiful works of art.
French cuisine needs no introduction when it comes to world-class dining. So, as you’d expect there’s plenty of choice when in France. Even in the remote Alps, you can be sure to enjoy a fine meal every night of the week.
After a hard day on the slopes when it’s time to break free from your luxury villa rental and chic chalet, there’s only one place to go....
In the heart of Courchevel lies Les Airelles - the two-Michelin star brainchild of Chef Pierre Gagnier. This upscale eatery delivers all kinds of unexpected delights. Get ready for goose liver soup with lentil gnocchi, and carob-rubbed red mullet. Come breakfast, the glorious smell of freshly baked bread fills the air, as you tuck into a gourmet smorgasbord in its buffet-style dining.
When you think about Bordeaux, you think about a well-bodied red. However, the French hub of wine-making is also home to some of the best restaurants in the country. This includes Michelin-star rated Le Pavillion des Boulevards. With stunning food matched with excellent customer service, it’s the epitome of fine-dining. The ceps are one of the most popular dishes, but frankly you can’t go wrong with any choice. Just make sure you leave room for dessert, before heading back to your luxury villa rental.
