Evian Resort sits on the southern shore of Lake Geneva in Evian-les-Bains, within a 47-acre parkland estate that contains two hotels, three specialist spas, indoor and outdoor pools and one of the most celebrated golf clubs in Europe. For a golf holiday in France at the highest possible level, it is difficult to find anywhere that competes.
The five-star Hotel Royal, which achieved Palace status in 2016 — placing it among only 24 hotels in France to hold that distinction — offers 150 bedrooms including 32 suites. Three restaurants, including the Michelin one-star Les Fresques, and a glamorous cocktail bar provide an exceptional dining and social backdrop. The four-star sister Hotel Ermitage shares the same parkland and lake views with a rather more relaxed character, while maintaining beautifully comfortable bedrooms and the same access to all resort facilities.
Evian Golf Club is the home of the Evian Championship, the fifth major on the women’s world tour, and the course reflects that tournament heritage in its conditioning and design. Three specialist spas — including treatments tailored specifically for golfers — add a restorative dimension to any stay. Families are exceptionally well catered for, with dedicated supervised facilities keeping younger guests thoroughly entertained. Geneva Airport is an easy drive, and private transfers can be arranged.
