Presentation of the hotel
Discover an exclusive address in the heart of Aix-en-Provence where luxury and discretion heighten the characteristic Art of Living in the South of France.
Just steps away from the historic city center and its charming medieval streets and opulent Cours Mirabeau, the Villa Amara stands sunny and elegantly framed by the greenery of stately, ancient trees.
This 19th century private residence was once the property of Max Juvenal, leader of the French Resistance in Provence, and more recently the headquarters of the prestigious American University Center of Provence.
In 2019, after months of renovation, the Villa Amara will open its doors to welcome national and international visitors seeking a haven of elegant comfort and calm within a vibrant city. Exceptionally well-situated, the Villa offers a natural setting with easy access to lively open markets, festival sites, the future Picasso museum, sidewalk cafés, countless restaurants, and Aix’s best shops.
A privileged space for writing, painting, composing, innovating or simply relaxing, the Villa Amara offers another dimension of luxury, grounded in a holistic view of personal well-being.
Placing the experience of our guests as the core concern, our team of architects, interior designers and Feng Shui experts combined their talents to create a magnetic place which energetically sustains and inspires abundance, good fortune, and easy living.
