From a brand-new boutique hotel opening in Courchevel 1850 this December, to an exclusive high-altitude wellness retreat at Refuge de la Traye all year-round, these properties deliver unparalleled mountain experiences for guests.
Introducing Maya Hotel Courchevel 1850 – Opening December 2025
This December, Maya Hotel Courchevel 1850 will open its doors in a coveted ski-in / ski-out location at the heart of one of the world’s most prestigious ski resorts. Fusing Monaco’s glamour with Japanese minimalist elegance, the hotel is set to redefine mountain luxury. The property comprises 14 refined rooms and suites, including the standout Lalique Suite and Lalique Apartment featuring private spas and custom-designed crystal pieces by Maison Lalique. The MayaBay Courchevel restaurant brings MayaBay’s signature Thai-Japanese fusion cuisine to the French Alps for the first time, and a curated Maya Well spa menu offers guests an extensive range of treatments in collaboration with Forlle’d. Every detail has been designed to offer tranquillity, intimacy and sophistication – ideal for travellers looking for a discreet yet design-forward mountain hideaway. Full buyout options are also available for ultra-private alpine escapes.
Refuge de la Traye – The Ultimate Alpine Summer Wellness Escape
While winter in the Alps needs no introduction, Refuge de la Traye proves that summer is the region’s best-kept secret. Tucked away in a private alcove in Méribel at 1,650m, this ultra-luxe chalet-style retreat is open year-round and caters to those seeking wellness, reconnection and nature. Refuge de la Traye offers six suites across three chalets, each offering true mountain seclusion and five-star service. The property is also home to a world-class MediSpa with VIVACE microneedling, HydraFacials, Biologique Recherche treatments and more. For adventure seekers, e-biking, hiking, zip lines and archery are available all year round. Following a day of activities, fine alpine dining at La Table de la Traye and wine tasting in the hotel’s sunken cellar is a must. This hidden gem in the Alps continues to deliver restorative, off-grid luxury with authentic charm and sophistication.
Together, Maya Hotel Courchevel and Refuge de la Traye offer a new standard for alpine luxury – pairing design-led hospitality and culinary excellence with a deep sense of privacy, wellness, and immersive nature. They also work in tandem: guests of Maya Hotel will have access to tailored experiences and stays at Refuge de la Traye, with future expansion planned for the group in West Palm Beach and Mykonos.
