This July, MGallery Collection invites travelers to step into a world where time slows. Introducing L’Isle de Leos Hotel & Spa – MGallery Collection, a boutique retreat nestled in the heart of the idyllic provincial village, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, France. With 49 exquisitely designed rooms, including 11 suites, L’Isle de Leos is a haven of understated luxury, where walls whisper stories through intricate sculptures, and gastronomy takes guests on a refined Provençal journey. Framed by the rolling landscapes of the Luberon, Mont Ventoux, and the Alpilles, and the gentle flow of the Sorgue River, this intimate escape invites guests to embrace the art of slow living.
A Tapestry of Art and Design
Stepping into L’Isle de Leos Hotel & Spa – MGallery Collection is to enter a gallery where art and history entwine. The hotel’s rooms and suites celebrate local craftsmanship, from frescoes that dance in the light to sculptural installations that pay homage to the region’s heritage. At the heart of the hotel is a slowly rotating sculptural wheel crafted by artisans that mirrors the iconic water wheel of the village’s historic mills—an ode to time, movement, and reflection.
Designed by Jean-Philippe Nuel the interior designer behind the hotel’s décor, an eight-metre-long artwork composed of terracotta roof tiles echoes the warmth of the rooftops. Outside, a mirror-like pool and secluded terraces provide moments of quiet contemplation, where the river’s gentle whispers invite a pause.
A Riverside Gem
L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is a peaceful waterside village perched in the heart of the French countryside. This enchanting destination is famous for its stone-built charm, historic churches and vineyards. The location’s beauty has created a sanctuary for art lovers and artists, drawing in Frédéric Mistral, René Char, Picasso, and Miró – to name a few. Guests can meander through the cobblestone streets, explore the vibrant antique markets, riverside cafes and culinary heritage or simply bask in the symphony of nature for a refined, authentic taste of provincial life.
Artistry merged into every luxury suite
Each of the 49 guest rooms are beautifully decorated with furniture and antique finds that have been carefully considered to fully illuminate Provence’s rich history. The 11 suites offer a personalised touch, ensuring a captivating experience for the curious and epicureans, providing an intimate portrait of Provence’s artistic and literary soul.

A taste of Provence
In a region famed for its culinary tastes, the L’Isle de Leos Hotel & Spa – MGallery Collection houses a bar and a restaurant. At La Roue, the hotel’s signature restaurant led by Chef Yon Masurel, flavours take centre stage in a bistronomic symphony that celebrates the finest ingredients from Domaine de Leos. Signature creations such as The Isle’s Gourmet Wheel reimagine local heritage – a delicate madeleine infused with lavender, a savoury shortbread kissed with olive tapenade and citrus zest.Meanwhile, Le Nego Chin, the hotel’s cozy lobby bar, is a tribute to the craft of mixology. Each sip is a discovery, with the signature cocktails capturing the very essence of Provence. These include the 600M cocktail, infused with hand-harvested lavender honey at an altitude of 600 metres, and the Olea, a martini with a blend of estate-grown herbs.
Holistic Wellness Rooted in Nature
At the hotel’s L’Olivier de Leos Spa, wellbeing unfolds as an intimate ritual, guided by the philosophy of oléothérapie — harnessing the regenerative power of olives, leaves, and wood.
