Baumanière occupies a distinctive position in Les Baux-de-Provence, an area historically nicknamed the 'Valley of Hell' for its dramatic rocky landscape. The property is set among the region's characteristic terrain of stone outcrops and olive groves, with views toward the nearby Alpilles mountains. The remote location defines the experience—the hotel is built into the landscape itself rather than standing apart from it.
The hotel offers 53 rooms and suites distributed across several characterful buildings. Each space includes original elements from the family's private art collection and locally made furniture and crafts. Room types range from Classic Rooms (20 sqm) and Deluxe Rooms (30 sqm) with balcony or terrace, to Junior Suites, Suites (45 sqm), and Prestige Deluxe Suites (75 sqm). All accommodations include standard amenities; family suites and connecting rooms are available for group stays.
Two distinct restaurants operate within the property. L'Oustau de Baumanière, led by Chef Glenn Viel, draws ingredients from the hotel's kitchen garden and local artisans. La Cabro d'Or, under Chef Michel Hulin, offers refined interpretations of regional terroir. Both reflect the hotel's philosophy of emphasizing local and regional culinary tradition in the guest experience. Group cooking classes led by the chef are offered to guests, alongside wine tastings and oenology courses.
The spa and wellness areas include three unheated outdoor pools, a dedicated spa, sauna, hammam, and beauty center. The property also features a tennis court and fitness room. Room service, secure parking with electric vehicle charging, and air conditioning throughout are standard. A helipad is available for arrivals by helicopter.
The region offers structured activities coordinated through the hotel: yoga, cycling and mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding with electric bicycle rentals available. Wine-related experiences include vineyard visits and olive mill tours. Guest activities also include visits to nearby castles, medieval villages, and the Carrières de Lumières immersive exhibition. The hotel offers a 90-minute guided walk through the grounds that traces the property's 80-year history and artistic heritage.
The four-generation family ownership and guest amenities (family suites, connecting rooms, baby-sitting, kids menu, early dinner options) accommodate families traveling together. Couples seeking refined dining experiences will appreciate the two on-site restaurants emphasizing local ingredients and regional tradition. Business and event groups can use the single 100-capacity meeting room. Pet-friendly policies, inclusive of rooms and the restaurant at extra cost, extend to those traveling with animals.
