Where to go this summer: 10 Exceptional Suites in 10 Destinations

BY Jules Peulet

Ultimate luxury no longer resides solely in the destination, but in the address one chooses there. For the elite traveler, the hotel is no longer merely a stopover: it is the heart of the summer experience. Space, silence, unobstructed views and architectural excellence have become the true markers of privilege. From the French Riviera to the cliffs of Indonesia, passing through the vibrancy of Ibiza or the chic of the Hamptons, La Suite has traversed the globe for you. We have selected 10 essential summer destinations and, for each one, sourced THE perfect suite. The one offering the most refined design, the purest aesthetics and absolute intimacy. Here is our confidential address book for a summer at the pinnacle.


Grand Hôtel Suite Grand Hôtel du Cap Ferrat

1. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat — France

The Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula is the discreet jewel of the French Riviera. Far from the bustling atmosphere of Saint-Tropez, it is the sanctuary of historic elegance, where the scent of maritime pines mingles with Mediterranean spray.

The Setting: Grand Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel

The Suite: Grand Hotel Suite

The aesthetic experience: Entering the Grand Hotel Suite is like stepping into a masterpiece. The interior design, signed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, is a luminous tribute to Riviera classicism. Tones of immaculate white, sand beige and celadon blue resonate in perfect harmony, amplified by the southern light that floods the living room. The furniture, a subtle blend of antiques and contemporary pieces, rests on sumptuous chevron parquet flooring. But the true aesthetic shock lies outside: large French doors open onto several terraces offering a 180-degree panoramic view of the sea and the lush gardens of the estate.

Why this suite? For its timeless "Old Money" elegance. It is not simply a large bedroom, it is a private apartment where one feels the history of the place, with the legendary level of service of Four Seasons.

La Suite's recommendation: Ask to dine privately on your main terrace at twilight. The rosy glow on the cliffs of the Riviera is an unforgettable sight.

Executive-Terrace-Suite-Vue-Mer-Jumeirah-capri-palace

2. Capri — Italy

Capri is the eternal embodiment of Dolce Vita. This summer too, the world's aristocracy and jet-set will roam its steep alleys. To experience the myth without enduring the crowds, the secret is to gain altitude, heading to the village of Anacapri.

The Setting: Jumeirah Capri Palace, Executive Terrace Suite Sea View

The aesthetic experience: Capri Palace is a museum-hotel, and this suite is one of its finest galleries. The aesthetics are theatrical and immaculate. The soft architectural arches, typical of the island, frame spaces bathed in light. The painted majolica flooring brings that incomparable touch of Italian craftsmanship, while contemporary artworks enliven the space. The highlight of the show remains the monumental terrace. Designed as a true open-air living room, it is shaded by light canvases and offers a dizzying panorama of the Gulf of Naples and the surrounding islands.

Why this suite? For its perfect transition between indoors and outdoors. The terrace is so vast and so well-appointed that it becomes the center of gravity of your Capri stay.

La Suite's advice: Order an Aperol Spritz from your butler just before sunset. Facing the sea, your terrace is the island's best private rooftop.

Signature suite Grand hotel Tremezzo

3. Lake Como — Italy

When the Mediterranean overheats, the elite retreat to the shores of Lake Como. The alpine microclimate, aristocratic elegance and romantic gardens make it Europe's most chic and mysterious summer destination.

The setting: Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Signature Suite

The aesthetic experience: The Signature Suite at Grand Hotel Tremezzo is a lesson in neoclassical grandeur. Here, luxury is maximalist and unapologetic. Heavy Como silk drapes, patinated gilding, glittering chandeliers and a royal four-poster bed transport you to the golden age of Italian romanticism. The design embraces rich colors, from crimson velvet to gilt accents. The suite's architecture is designed to frame the exterior landscape: from your private balconies, you command the still waters of the lake with a frontal view, like a painting, of the picturesque village of Bellagio.

Why this suite? Because it captures the very soul of Lake Como. You don't come here for minimalism, you come for historical splendor, and this suite delivers on that promise perfectly.

La Suite's advice: Take advantage of the extraordinarily luxurious marble bathroom. Taking a bath while leaving the French doors open to the lake is a timeless experience.

Harbir two bedroom suite loft

4. The Hamptons — United States

The summer escape for New York's establishment. Sag Harbor, with its historic port and "East Coast" atmosphere, offers a more intellectual and relaxed boho-chic luxury than its Southampton neighbors.

The setting: Faraway Sag Harbor, Harbor Two Bedroom Suite Loft

The aesthetic experience: Forget the overloaded nautical clichés, this suite loft reinvents American beachside elegance. Designed as a New York creative's dream apartment, the suite offers soaring ceilings and impressive cross-ventilation light. The design blends light wood flooring, custom-made Mid-Century-inspired furniture, natural textures (linen, rattan) and a soft color palette evoking sand and sea. The living space, with its open-plan living room, is enormous. The sweeping view of the masts of sailboats moored in the harbor adds a final touch of marine serenity.

Why this suite? For its rare proportions in the Hamptons. This two-bedroom loft offers the independence of a private summer home with the refined service of a luxury boutique hotel.

La Suite's tip: Serve yourself a morning coffee in your loft's open kitchen and settle in front of the large bay windows to watch the village awaken.

Max island villa Max Royal Bodrum

5. Bodrum — Turkey

Nicknamed "the Turkish Saint-Tropez", the Bodrum Riviera has become the crossroads of ultra-luxury. It is the privileged summer destination for the wealthy elite for its crystal-clear waters and hospitality at dizzying standards.

The setting: Maxx Royal Bodrum, Maxx Island Villa

The aesthetic experience: We are no longer talking about a suite, but an architectural property of avant-garde design. The Maxx Island Villa is a triumph of contemporary tropical design. The lines are taut, the architecture is sleek, almost brutalist, perfectly integrated into the peninsula's rock. Exotic wood, dark metal and glass frame immense interior volumes that open entirely to the outside. The pinnacle of this villa is its monumental outdoor space, housing a gigantic private infinity pool that seems to pour directly into the Aegean Sea.

Why this suite? For the exceptional level of privacy. You are literally on an "island" within the resort. This is the very definition of a billionaire's retreat, designed to live exclusively outdoors.

La Suite's tip: Organize a private dinner on your villa's terrace. The design of the nighttime lighting, which highlights the lines of the pool and architecture, is masterful.

Cherry Suite Destino

6. Ibiza — Spain

Ibiza is magnetic. While the island attracts visitors for its legendary nightlife, the global elite now comes here for daytime luxury made of design, grandiose pools and an incomparable hedonistic atmosphere.

The setting: Destino FIVE Ibiza, Cherry Suite (with XL Pool)

The aesthetic experience: The new Destino FIVE Ibiza has redefined the glamour of the white island. The Cherry Suite is an explosion of bold and playful design. The interiors embrace contemporary luxury codes: plenty of white, smooth cement, clean lines, enhanced by subtle touches of cherry red and ultra-modern ambient lighting. But the showstopper is outside. The suite features an XL private pool, rarely seen in size for a hotel room in Europe, surrounded by large daybeds. The unobstructed view over the Mediterranean and Dalt Vila (the old town) completes this vibrant picture.

Why this suite? For the perfect balance between the seclusion of a private villa (thanks to this outsized pool) and immediate access to the energy of Ibiza's most prominent resort.

La Suite's advice: It's the ideal suite for organizing a small gathering before dinner. The outdoor space around your XL pool has been designed for luxury entertainment.

Rocabella Suite

7. Mykonos — Greece

Mykonos is the epicenter of summer chic in the Aegean Sea. Aesthetes come here for the magnificent aridity of its landscapes, the deep blue of the sea and this Cycladic architecture that has become iconic worldwide.

The setting: Rocabella Mykonos, Rocabella Suite Plunge

The aesthetic experience: The Rocabella Suite is the perfect embodiment of Cycladic "Wabi-Sabi" minimalism. Here, no right angles. Asymmetrical whitewashed walls create an atmosphere like a soothing cocoon. The interior design celebrates the beauty of imperfection: driftwood, raw linen, braided cordage and handcrafted ceramics. The centerpiece of this refined aesthetic is the private plunge pool located on the terrace. Carved from stone and facing the horizon, it creates a hypnotic escape point toward the blue of the Aegean Sea.

Why this suite? Because it offers absolute visual and mental respite. Away from the bustle of the beaches, this suite is a haven of silence where design exclusively serves contemplation.

La Suite's advice: Don't leave your suite at nightfall. The private pool facing west guarantees you the most beautiful sunset over Mykonos, in complete privacy.

Presidential Suite St Regis Aspen

8. Aspen — United States

Aspen in summer is the best-kept secret of America's great fortunes. Escape the scorching heat for the crisp air of the Colorado Rockies, prestigious hiking trails and an ultra-chic village atmosphere.

The jewel: The St. Regis Aspen Resort, Presidential Suite

The aesthetic experience: The pinnacle of mountain luxury. The St. Regis Presidential Suite revisits the "chalet" spirit with sophistication worthy of a grand New York apartment. The design showcases opulent materials: finely crafted dark woodwork, tufted leather, heavy cashmere curtains and imposing stone fireplaces. The aesthetic is warm, muted and masculine. Vast bay windows flood the rooms with natural light and frame the majestic Aspen Mountain. The reception space, including a grand piano, gives spectacular dimension to the whole.

Why this suite? For its comforting atmosphere after a day in the great outdoors. It is the very essence of American luxury: grand volume, impeccable service (the famous St. Regis Butler Service) and breathtaking views.

La Suite's advice: Ask your butler to prepare the grand fireplace in your living room for the end of the evening. Even in summer, nights at altitude are mild and perfect for a glass of wine by the fire.

Hanging one bedroom suite Lelewatu

9. Sumba — Indonesia

Sumba is the wild and unspoiled alternative to Bali. Just one hour's flight from its saturated neighbor, Sumba in August enjoys an ideal dry season. It is the sanctuary of "barefoot luxury," where the elite come to reconnect with primitive nature.

The jewel: Lelewatu Resort Sumba, Hanging One Bedroom Pool Villa Ocean View

The aesthetic experience: This suspended villa ("Hanging Villa") defies gravity and clings dramatically to the limestone cliff. The architectural design is a vibrant tribute to Sumbanaise culture, notably with its monumental traditional thatched roofs in local alang-alang. Inside, it's raw tropical elegance: solid exotic wood flooring, sculpted wooden pillars, hand-woven local ikat fabrics, and a king-size bed surrounded by diaphanous mosquito nets. The raw wood terrace houses a geometric infinity pool that seems to levitate dozens of meters above the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean.

Why this suite? For the absolute feeling of the end of the world. The communion between indigenous architecture and modern luxury design creates a rare spiritual and visual disorientation.

La Suite's advice: Wake at dawn. Open all the glass doors of the bedroom to let the crashing sound of the Indian Ocean and the gentle tropical breeze flood your space.

Townhouse Quinta Da Comporta

10. Comporta — Portugal

The spirit of the destination

The quintessential bohemian-chic retreat on the European Atlantic coast. An hour from Lisbon, Comporta attracts international creative elites and great fortunes seeking "slow luxury". Here, slowness is celebrated, along with vast wild beaches, the scent of parasol pines, and the hypnotic beauty of verdant rice fields.

The setting: Quinta Da Comporta – Wellness Boutique Resort, La Townhouse

The aesthetic experience: Imagined by renowned architect Miguel Câncio Martins, the Townhouse is a masterful reinterpretation of the region's traditional fishermen's cabins. The aesthetic is a tribute to earth and local craftsmanship: reed thatch roofs, smoothed cement floors, sun-bleached wood, natural linen, and wickerwork. Designed as a duplex, this suite unfolds impressive architectural volumes bathed in natural light. The living level opens onto a private balcony that perfectly frames the view over the property's vast rice fields, creating a living tableau whose colors shift with the sun and wind.

Why this suite? Because it offers the ultimate compromise: the space, intimacy, and volume of a private beach house (with its own separate living area), while benefiting from direct access to the hotel's spectacular spa and its iconic infinity pool (with glass bottom) overlooking the rice fields.

La Suite's advice: Throw open the glass doors of your Townhouse at day's end. The contrast between the minimalist comfort of your living room and the golden light of sunset reflected on the rice field water is an absolute visual experience.
