A provençal village in harmony with nature

Terre Blanche (Var): unique resort in Provence
“The architecture of Terre Blanche is directly inspired by the beauty of the provençal landscape and its cultural heritage. The use of local white stone and red clay provides a natural mosaic of ecru, golden and terra cotta shades, that are very characteristic of the Mediterranean and provençal style.

In this way, the whole resort fuses harmoniously with the landforms and preserved vegetation of the site. All of the activities offered by Terre Blanche are in line with the fauna and flora and with sustainable management of water resources. Our consideration of economic players from the Canton de Fayence are also signs of our respect of the region,”
explains the hotel’s management.

Member of the prestigious chain of independent hotels “The Leading Hotels Of The World”, the Hotel Terra Blanche offers 115 spacious suites and villas of luxurious comfort, with private terraces that provide panoramic views onto the Haut-Var hills.

The hotel resort was created under the spirit of old Provence villages. Provençal vegetation paths lead everywhere in the resort, to the pools, restaurants, or spa.

True havens of peace, all the suites have a living area and private terrace, a separate bedroom, a large bathroom, and a work space with all of the advanced connections.

These spacious suites are ideal for both couples and families.

The hotel offers all the services worthy of a 5 star hotel right at the heart of Var nature: golf course, 3200m2 Spa, a Kids’ Club, conference areas ideal for seminars, free high-speed internet access, flat-screen TVs in the living areas and rooms, room service 24/7, shuttle service to the rooms 24/7.

Terre Blanche also has 4 heated pools: an infinity edge pool, two pools in the Spa (indoor and outdoor), and the Kids’ Club pool for young guests. The infinity edge pool of 600m2 is a wonder in itself, as it provides a panoramic view onto the wooded hills of the Fayence country.

Exceptional restaurants

Land of provençale cuisine, flavors and smells, Terre Blanche is also a delightful destination for the taste buds with restaurants famous in the PACA region and France.

The resort’s four restaurants offer unique dishes with Mediterranean and provençales flavors for a cuisine that is both authentic and contemporary. In 2014, the Chef Philippe Jourdin, whose background is dotted with Michelin-starred restaurants (Moulin de Mougins, Tour d’Argent and Relais LOUIS XIII in Paris), left Marrakech where he was the Executive Chef of the Royal Palm Beach to join the team at Terre Blanche.

In 2016, he once again wins a star from the Michelin Guide for the gastronomic restaurant “Le Faventia.”

Two prestigious golf courses

Voted “Best European Golf Resort” at the World Golf Awards 2014, Terre Blanche offers its members and players from outside two golf courses that are among Europe’s most prestigious.

“Here, nature inspired these courses: valleys, lakes, ravines, cascades, forests, the golf architect Dave Thomas was able to preserve the existing landforms and the vegetation of this magnificent site. His signature touch is in the bunkers with scalloped edges,” explains a manager of the golf courses.

Le Riou

Facing the Provence villages of the Haut-Var, Le Riou is a course of 18 technical holes of 6,005 meters that requires game strategy and precision. This course is reserved to Club members, their guests and the hotel’s clients. It hosts an Open for the Ladies European Tour Access Series : the «Terre Blanche Ladies Open».

Le Château

This course of 18 holes of 6,616 meters, physically demanding, offers a wonderful challenge to ambitious golfers. The bunkers, greens, and flag positions enable players to experience the real conditions of a championship course game.

Every year, it hosts an Open of the European Senior Tour : the «French Riviera Masters». In 2015, Le Château was ranked 13th on the Best Continental Europe Courses by Golf World Magazine UK.

Raphael Jacquelin, Touring Pro of Terre Blanche: “All the conditions are met in this golf resort to host the best professional and amateur players in order to fuse performance with the love of playing.”
