1. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat — France
The spirit of the destination
The Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula is the discreet jewel of the Côte d'Azur. Far from the bustle of Saint-Tropez, it is the sanctuary of historical elegance, where the scent of maritime pines mingles with Mediterranean spray.
The setting: Grand Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel
The Suite: Grand Hotel Suite
The aesthetic experience: Entering the Grand Hotel Suite is like stepping into a masterpiece. The interior design, signed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, is a luminous tribute to the Riviera's classicism. Tones of immaculate white, sand beige and celadon blue answer one another in perfect harmony, amplified by the southern light that floods the living room. The furniture, a subtle blend of antiques and contemporary pieces, rests on sumptuous chevron parquet flooring. But the true aesthetic shock lies outside: large French doors open onto several terraces offering a 180-degree panoramic view of the sea and the verdant gardens of the estate.
Why this suite? For its timeless "Old Money" elegance. It is not simply a large bedroom, it is a private apartment where one feels the history of the place, with the legendary service level of Four Seasons.
The advice from La Suite: Ask to dine privately on your main terrace at dusk. The rosy glow on the Riviera cliffs is an unforgettable sight.

2. Capri — Italy
The spirit of the destination
Capri is the eternal embodiment of Dolce Vita. This summer again, the world's aristocracy and jet-set will walk its steep streets. To live the myth without suffering the crowds, the secret is to gain altitude, heading towards the village of Anacapri.
The setting: Jumeirah Capri Palace
The Suite: Executive Terrace Suite Sea View
The aesthetic experience: The Capri Palace is a museum-hotel, and this suite is one of its finest galleries. The aesthetic here is theatrical and immaculate. Soft architectural arches, typical of the island, frame spaces bathed in light. The painted majolica flooring brings that incomparable touch of Italian craftsmanship, while contemporary artworks enliven the space. The highlight remains the monumental terrace. Designed as a true open-air salon, it is shaded by light canvases and offers a breathtaking panorama over the Gulf of Naples and the surrounding islands.
Why this suite? For its perfect transition between interior and exterior. The terrace is so vast and so well appointed that it becomes the center of gravity of your Caprese stay.
The La Suite tip: Order an Aperol Spritz from your butler just before sunset. Facing the sea, your terrace is the island's best private rooftop.

3. Lake Como — Italy
The spirit of the destination
When the Mediterranean overheats, the elite retreat to the shores of Lake Como. The alpine microclimate, aristocratic elegance, and romantic gardens make it Europe's chicest and most mysterious summer destination.
The setting: Grand Hotel Tremezzo
The Suite: Signature Suite
The aesthetic experience: The Signature Suite at Grand Hotel Tremezzo is a lesson in neoclassical splendor. Here, luxury is maximalist and unapologetic. Heavy Como silk curtains, patinated gilt, shimmering chandeliers, and a royal canopied bed transport you to the golden age of Italian romanticism. The design embraces rich colors, from deep red velvet to gilded details. The suite's architecture is conceived to frame the external landscape: from your private balconies, you overlook the calm lake waters with a frontal view, like a painting, of the picturesque village of Bellagio.
Why this suite? Because it captures the very soul of Lake Como. You don't come here for minimalism, you come for historical splendor, and this suite delivers on that promise perfectly.
The La Suite tip: Make the most of the marble bathroom of unparalleled luxury. Taking a bath while leaving the French doors open to the lake is a timeless experience.

4. The Hamptons — United States
The Spirit of the Destination
The summer escape of New York's establishment. Sag Harbor, with its historic port and "East Coast" atmosphere, offers bohemian-chic luxury that is more intellectual and laid-back than its Southampton neighbors.
The Setting: Faraway Sag Harbor
The Suite: Harbor Two Bedroom Suite Loft
The Aesthetic Experience: Forget cluttered nautical clichés—this suite loft reinvents American coastal elegance. Designed like the dream apartment of a New York creative, the suite offers soaring ceilings and impressive cross-ventilation. The design blends light wood floors, bespoke Mid-Century-inspired furnishings, natural textures (linen, rattan), and a soft color palette evoking sand and sea. The living space, with its open-plan salon, is vast. The sweeping views of sailboat masts moored in the harbor add a final touch of marine serenity.
Why This Suite? For its rare proportions in the Hamptons. This two-bedroom loft offers the independence of a private summer home with the refined service of a luxury boutique hotel.
La Suite's Tip: Enjoy your morning coffee in your loft's open kitchen and settle in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the village awaken.

5. Bodrum — Turkey
The Spirit of the Destination
Nicknamed "Turkey's Saint-Tropez," the Bodrum Riviera has become the crossroads of ultra-luxury. It is the privileged summer destination of the ultra-wealthy for its crystalline waters and hospitality at dizzying standards.
The Setting: Maxx Royal Bodrum
The Suite: Maxx Island Villa
The Aesthetic Experience: We are no longer speaking of a suite, but of an avant-garde architectural property. The Maxx Island Villa is a triumph of contemporary tropical design. The lines are taut, the architecture is stealthy, almost brutalist, integrating perfectly into the rocky peninsula. Exotic wood, dark metal, and glass frame immense interior volumes that open entirely to the outdoors. The pinnacle of this villa is its monumental exterior space, housing a gigantic private infinity pool that seems to pour directly into the Aegean Sea.
Why This Suite? For its exceptional level of intimacy. You are literally on an "island" within the resort. It is the very definition of billionaire's retreat, designed to live exclusively in the outdoors.
La Suite's advice: Organize a private dinner on your villa's terrace. The design of the nighttime lighting, which highlights the lines of the pool and architecture, is masterful.

6. Ibiza — Spain
The spirit of the destination
Ibiza is magnetic. While the island attracts visitors for its legendary nightlife, the global elite now come here for daytime luxury made of design, grandiose pools and an incomparable hedonistic atmosphere.
The setting: Destino FIVE Ibiza
The Suite: Cherry Suite (with XL Pool)
The aesthetic experience: The new Destino FIVE Ibiza has redefined the glamour of the White Island. The Cherry Suite is an explosion of bold and playful design. The interiors embrace contemporary luxury codes: plenty of white, polished cement, clean lines, enhanced by subtle touches of cherry red and ultra-modern ambient lighting. But the highlight is found outside. The suite features a private XL pool, rarely seen in size for a hotel room in Europe, surrounded by large daybeds. The unobstructed view of the Mediterranean and Dalt Vila (the old town) completes this vibrant tableau.
Why this suite? For the perfect balance between the seclusion of a private villa (thanks to this oversized pool) and immediate access to the energy of Ibiza's most coveted resort.
La Suite's advice: This is the ideal suite for hosting a small gathering before dinner. The outdoor space around your XL pool has been designed for luxury entertainment.

7. Mykonos — Greece
The spirit of the destination
Mykonos is the epicenter of summer chic in the Aegean Sea. Aesthetes come here for the magnificent aridity of its landscapes, the deep blue of the sea and this Cycladic architecture that has become iconic throughout the world.
The setting: Rocabella Mykonos
The Suite: Rocabella Suite Plunge
The Aesthetic Experience: The Rocabella Suite is the perfect embodiment of Cycladic "Wabi-Sabi" minimalism. Here, not a single right angle. Asymmetrical white walls finished with lime plaster create an atmosphere akin to a soothing cocoon. The interior design celebrates the beauty of imperfection: driftwood, raw linen, braided cordage and artisanal ceramics. The pinnacle of this refined aesthetic is the private plunge pool situated on the terrace. Sculpted in stone and oriented toward the horizon, it creates a hypnotic vanishing point toward the blue of the Aegean Sea.
Why this suite? Because it offers absolute visual and mental respite. Far from the hustle of the beaches, this suite is a sanctuary of silence where design serves contemplation exclusively.
La Suite's tip: Do not leave your suite at nightfall. The private pool oriented to the west guarantees you the most beautiful sunset over Mykonos, in the utmost privacy.

8. Aspen — United States
The Spirit of the Destination
Aspen in summer is the best-kept secret of America's great fortunes. Escape the heat for the crisp air of the Colorado Rockies, prestigious hiking and an ultra-chic village atmosphere.
The Setting: The St. Regis Aspen Resort
The Suite: Presidential Suite
The Aesthetic Experience: The pinnacle of mountain luxury. The St. Regis Presidential Suite revisits the "chalet" spirit with sophistication worthy of a grand New York apartment. The design celebrates opulent materials: finely crafted dark wood paneling, tufted leather, heavy cashmere drapes and imposing cut-stone fireplaces. The aesthetic is warm, muted and masculine. Vast bay windows flood the rooms with natural light and frame the majestic Aspen Mountain. The reception area, including a grand piano, gives the entire space a spectacular dimension.
Why this suite? For its comforting atmosphere after a day of outdoor activity. It is the very essence of American luxury: grand volume, impeccable service (the famous St. Regis Butler Service) and breathtaking views.
La Suite's tip: Ask your butler to prepare the grand fireplace in your living room for the evening. Even in summer, nights at altitude are mild and lend themselves to a glass of wine by the fire.

9. Sumba — Indonesia
The spirit of the destination
Sumba is the wild and unspoiled alternative to Bali. Just one hour's flight from its overcrowded neighbour, Sumba in August benefits from an ideal dry season. It is the sanctuary of "barefoot luxury", where the elite come to reconnect with primitive nature.
The setting: Lelewatu Resort Sumba
The Suite: Hanging One Bedroom Pool Villa Ocean View
The aesthetic experience: This suspended villa ("Hanging Villa") defies gravity and clings dramatically to the limestone cliff. The architectural design is a vibrant tribute to Sumbanese culture, notably through its monumental traditional roofs in local thatch (alang-alang). Inside, it is raw tropical elegance: solid exotic wood flooring, carved wooden pillars, locally woven hand-loomed ikat fabrics, and a king-size bed surrounded by vaporous mosquito nets. The raw wood terrace houses a geometric infinity pool that appears to levitate dozens of metres above the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean.
Why this suite? For the absolute feeling of being at the end of the world. The communion between indigenous architecture and modern luxury design creates a rare spiritual and visual escape.
La Suite's tip: Wake at dawn. Open all the glass doors of the bedroom to let the thunderous sound of the Indian Ocean and the soft tropical breeze flood your space.

10. Comporta — Portugal
The spirit of the destination
The ultimate bohemian-chic retreat on Europe's Atlantic coast. Just an hour from Lisbon, Comporta attracts the international creative elite and great fortunes in search of "slow luxury". It celebrates slowness, vast wild beaches, the scent of umbrella pines and the hypnotic beauty of lush rice fields.
The setting: Quinta Da Comporta – Wellness Boutique Resort
The Suite: The Townhouse
The aesthetic experience: Designed by renowned architect Miguel Câncio Martins, the Townhouse is a masterful reinterpretation of the region's traditional fishing cabins. The aesthetic is a tribute to the earth and local craftsmanship: reed thatch roofs, polished cement floors, sun-bleached wood, natural linen and wicker. Designed as a duplex, this suite unfolds impressive architectural volumes bathed in natural light. The living floor opens onto a private balcony that perfectly frames the view over the vast rice fields of the property, creating a living tableau whose colours change with the sun and wind.
Why this suite? Because it offers the ultimate compromise: the space, intimacy and volume of a private beach house (with its own separate living area), while enjoying direct access to the hotel's spectacular spa and its iconic infinity pool (with glass bottom) overlooking the rice fields.
La Suite's advice: Open wide the bay windows of your Townhouse at the end of the day. The contrast between the minimalist comfort of your living room and the golden light of the sunset reflected on the rice field waters is an absolute visual experience.
