Provence, France

Rolling French countryside, historic hilltop villages, fields of verdant lavender, Championship courses, and the best rosé in the world, Provence is truly unique.

Provence – or more precisely, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur – is a region steeped in art, history, and natural beauty. And, of course, rosé. Tucked in the south-eastern corner of France, on the border of Italy, the region is forever vying with its neighbour for bragging rights in viticulture, ancient history, art and picture-perfect landscapes, the rosé heartlands of Provence, Château d'Esclans, hilltop medieval villages and ancient towns combining with the glitz and glamour of Nice and the French Riviera, where multi-million-dollar superyachts saunter into the harbours of Cannes and St Tropez.

For the golf traveller, there is nowhere better to explore it from than Terre Blanche Hôtel Spa Golf Resort. Five-star in every sense, Terre Blance boasts the natural advantage that comes with a 750-acre setting nestled among those sandstone villages, lush hillsides and vineyards, but also within touching distance of the Alps and the pristine blue Mediterranean coast in the south. Stay in private villas, almost hidden among nature, dine at several restaurant options, including the Michelin-starred La Faventia, pair any food with wines from the resort’s 400-bottle cellar and, perhaps best of all, enjoy its two Championship courses.
