Mas Aux Orchidees

Set within three hectares of beautiful grounds, Mas aux Orchidées captures the understated grandeur of Provence in an exquisitely restored 18th century mas. Just a five-minute drive from the much loved village of Eygalières, this remarkable estate offers privacy, space and refined comfort for up to 12 guests. Stone façades softened by plane trees open on to idyllic paved terraces, where long lunches unfold in dappled shade and evenings are spent gathered around the firepit beneath starry skies.

Inside, generous volumes and thoughtful design create a home that is both impressive and deeply welcoming. The vast open plan kitchen, complete with breakfast bar, pantry and professional appliances, flows towards a dining room seating fourteen and a characterful wine cellar. The lounge with fireplace invites relaxed conversation, while a dedicated home office provides a peaceful corner for those balancing work with leisure. Six air conditioned bedrooms, each with king-size double beds and private en suites, promise restful nights with high-end bed linen and luxurious bathroom amenities. One bedroom is set within an independent studio with its own lounge and kitchen, ideal for guests seeking additional privacy.

The heated saltwater swimming pool forms the heart of outdoor living, framed by sun loungers and a stylish pool house with fully equipped summer kitchen and barbecue. An air conditioned gym with sauna and massage room, a pétanque court and even a helipad elevate the experience further.

Days begin with a generous breakfast buffet of fresh pastries, seasonal fruits and regional cheeses, served in a picturesque setting. Daily housekeeping is included, alongside the attentive support of a house manager and concierge. Other thoughtful touches include weekly fresh flowers whilst services such as a chef, butler, massage therapist and exclusive tailormade experiences can be arranged.

From Eygalieres’ celebrated restaurants to the markets of Saint Rémy, the vines and olive groves of Les Alpilles and the fairways of Domaine de Manville, the best of Provence lies within easy reach. Mas aux Orchidées offers an exceptional setting for families and friends to gather and soak up the rhythm of the south of France.

Set within three hectares of beautiful gated grounds, Mas aux Orchidées enjoys a wonderful location for experiencing Provence, only 3km from the picture-perfect village of Eygalières.

In Eygalières, soak up the charm as you sip coffee on a café terrace, dine out in high-end restaurants and shop for seasonal produce at the delightful Friday morning market. It’s a favoured spot by A-list celebrities and is often considered one of the prettiest villages in the region. For more everyday essentials, Mollégès is less than 3km away while larger supermarkets can be found near Orgon and Cavaillon, all within a 10 to 15-minute drive.

Meanwhile, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (11km) offers a more cosmopolitan atmosphere, with art galleries, inviting restaurants and a celebrated Wednesday morning market that draws visitors from across the region.

The idyllic landscapes of Les Alpilles beckon with olive groves, pine forests and limestone peaks. Spend a day exploring the dramatic hilltop village of Les Baux-de-Provence, famed for its medieval castle ruins and sweeping views, or wander through Maussane-les-Alpilles known for its olive oil heritage and a lovely spot for lunch. The drive itself is a pleasure – both villages are around 20km by car.

For memorable day trips, the Luberon awaits within 40 minutes by car, home to some of France’s iconic Plus Beaux Villages, including Ménerbes and Gordes. You might also explore the antique markets and waterways of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (23km), the historic grandeur of Avignon (27km) or the refined elegance of Aix-en-Provence (66km), each offering its own distinct slice of Provençal life.
