Chalets with Jacuzzi: the most beautiful rentals in the Alps

1. Megève : Les Chalets des Fermes de Marie | Chalets with jacuzzi and 5-star service

Just a five-minute walk from the center of Megève, but set back enough to take advantage of a vast 2-hectare estate, Les Fermes de Marie embodies the authentic spirit imagined by Jocelyne and Jean-Louis Sibuet. Since the first stone was laid in 1989, the establishment has grown without ever losing its Alpine soul: today, the hotel is made up of nine chalets, former alpine farms several hundred years old, patiently restored and interconnected.In the rooms as in the chalets, the luxury hotel in Megève remains faithful to the Alpine aesthetic: omnipresent wood, soft fabrics and materials, checked cushions and curtains, bouclette armchairs, mountain paintings and fireplaces in some lounges.

Today, accompanied by their daughter Marie and son Nicolas, the Sibuets transmit this family spirit throughout the 5-star hotel in Megève. In the service, warm and attentive, in the concierge service, always available to share good addresses or organize an activity, and in the infrastructure. Children have their own kids' club, with cooking workshops and magic shows, while at the end of the day, young and old alike can enjoy a hot chocolate and homemade pastries by the fireplace. This spirit is also reflected in the collection of private chalets available for rental, including Chalet Oria, which spans 650 m² and can accommodate up to 14 guests, Chalet des Fermes de Marie, which can accommodate up to 10 guests, and the more intimate Chalet du Skieur, which can accommodate 6 guests in 140 m².

And the spa? A major asset of the Megève hotel-spa, the spa includes indoor pools, hammam, sauna, Japanese baths, several treatment rooms and, of course, an outdoor jacuzzi. Treatments are by Pure Altitude, a brand created by the Sibuet family, which draws on mountain plants and flowers for their benefits on the skin and to soothe muscles after exercise.

While the spa is open to both hotel and chalet guests, the Chalet des Fermes de Marie has its own jacuzzi and sauna for those who want a little more privacy. Set in 400 m², the chalet offers a real home-from-home feel, with five en-suite bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen and garden. Breakfasts are included, so you can enjoy your cocoon without having to get out before the first coffee and scrambled eggs, as are the snacks, perfect for when you're back from the slopes.

Underground access allows direct access to Les Fermes de Marie without having to put on a coat and hat; a practical feature for dinner. Guests in private chalets can also take advantage of the hotel's Megève restaurants: the restaurant des Fermes, for generous, traditional cuisine, or the Carnotzet, for a fondue or raclette evening. On request, everything is also possible: in-home chef, massages, yoga classes, fresh produce delivery, maître d'hôte and concierge service.

2. Val d'isère : Chalet Hermine Blanche | For large families

In Val d'Isère, just 200 meters from the slopes and the gondola, Chalet Hermine Blanche is ideal for (large) families looking for space, comfort and a true mountain spirit. Spread over four levels, the chalet covers 432 m² and can accommodate up to 14 people. An ideal hotel for a family holiday in the Alps.

It has five bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, including a children's room sleeping six. The décor is deliberately Alpine: floor-to-ceiling wood, solid furniture, faux fur rugs and comforters, cow-patterned cushions, and large picture windows with views of the peaks. The heart of the chalet is on the top floor, where you'll find the living area with its vast lounge, dining room and open kitchen, all with memorable views.

When it comes to relaxation, the chalet for rent in the Alps proposes a wellness area as complete as a hotel-spa in Val d'Isère: hammam, sauna, massage table, indoor Jacuzzi and an outdoor Jacuzzi overlooking the snow-capped mountains. Included in the stay, a chef and butler take care of breakfasts, snacks and dinners, for an all-schuss stay, from the morning until you return from skiing.

3. Bourg-Saint-Maurice: Chalets Béla Vya | Intimacy at the summit

Behind a duo with Savoyard roots lies not one, but three chalets, none of which has to envy the facilities of the others: all three have their own private swimming pools, saunas with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, and Nordic Jacuzzis heated to 38°C (sunset supplement in the evening).

Inside, the chalets have been fully renovated and equipped with top-of-the-range amenities - including raclette and fondue machines, of course. Each chalet sleeps 8 to 12 people, ideal for families or groups of friends who want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the Alps' ski resorts, yet still have easy access to the slopes thanks to a free shuttle service to Les Arcs 1600. The decor is modern and uncluttered, in soft, natural tones: exposed beams on the ceiling, marble in the bathrooms and kitchen, beige linen curtains, stone walls and velvet sofas.

The hotel-spa service in the Alps follows the same high standards, with a tailor-made concierge service to organize your stay according to your wishes: in-home chef, massages, shopping, wine tasting, activities, ski instructor, mountain guide and, of course, transfers.

4. Méribel: Le Coucou | Stylish, designer chalets with Jacuzzi

In Méribel, Le Coucou embodies the mountain vision of the Pariente family, who also own the Grand Mazarin in Paris, Lou Pinet in Saint-Tropez and Crillon le Brave in Provence. In addition to its 55 rooms, including 39 suites, the hotel houses two independent chalets in Méribel, Églantine and Éléonore, each designed to accommodate up to 12 guests.

Designed by Pierre Yovanovitch, like the rest of the hotel in Méribel, these 600 m² chalets feature bold, colorful decor. Yellow, green, red or terracotta walls, matching furniture in each room, blue carpeting in the bedrooms, rounded sofas, ultra-design light fittings... The classic Alpine aesthetic gives way here to a colorful, graphic universe.

In terms of amenities, the two chalets each have their own kitchen, dining room, cathedral living room opening onto a terrace, ski room with direct access to the slopes, and private pool and spa. Guests also benefit from access to the hotel's spa, with swimming pool, Jacuzzi, fitness room, sauna and hammam.

For meals, anything is possible. An in-home chef can be organized on request, or simply join one of Le Coucou's three restaurants in Méribel: Biancaneve, the bistronomic table with brasserie classics, the Beefbar, a must, and Le Fumoir, for a more rustic Savoyard evening.

5. Val d'isère : Chalet Machapuchare | The mountains without compromise

Voted best ski chalet in France at the World Ski Awards 2024 (and we assure you that the title is not usurped but well-deserved!), this chalet with jacuzzi in the Alps is located just a few minutes from the slopes and village center, in an exclusive corner of Val d'Isère.

Spread over five levels, the chalet can accommodate up to 15 people, with facilities and an eye for detail that would make a five-star hotel jealous. Indoor swimming pool, gym, massage room, hammam, outdoor Jacuzzi facing the mountains, several lounges, cinema room, ski room, garage and seven bedrooms, all with private bathrooms, most with balconies. The decor is faithful to the spirit of the mountains, using noble materials such as wood and stone, and unique handcrafted pieces, some handmade by the owner.

The stay is stress-free: a dedicated concierge service, an on-site chef for breakfasts, snacks and dinners, a childcare service, and even a private chauffeur service to get around the ski resort in the Alps with ease.
