All the Authentic Charm of a Provençal Village

Coquillade Provence is a village steeped in the shifting hues of the Luberon, a plush cocoon of pure elegance and refinement,
and your home away from home in Provence. Legend has it that the village centre in this authentic Provençal hamlet
was built in the 11th century by Cistercian monks from the Sénanque Abbey.
Two hundred years on, and vines were planted here, the predecessor to our Domaine de la Coquillade vineyard was born, and a couple of centuries later, a new story began...

Our Story, Our Name, Our Soul

The name Coquillade comes from the crested lark—a migratory bird known for its instinctual return to the same patch of land, season after season. In Provençal, it’s “couquihado”—a song in the dialect of the wind.

This land has always been a resting point for travelers in search of stillness. Long before the vines and villas, birds would stop here mid-journey, guided not by map, but rhythm.

Today, Coquillade continues that tradition. A hilltop estate in the Luberon, reborn as a retreat for those who roam with purpose—and return with joy.

Our new emblem—a bird in mid-flight—is a symbol of that story. A compass for the soul. A quiet signal that you’ve arrived, not just somewhere, but back to yourself.

It now represents both Coquillade Provence and Domaine de la Coquillade—unifying the hotel and the vineyard under one shared symbol of soul and place.

It All Started With a Dream

The Rihs family's vision began to take shape: a haven of peace and voluptuous luxury, a hotel in Provence enclosing a paradise for the senses. A hunger for excellence, a cycling centre, and a completely different take on tourism for the ultimate experience. A novel approach to a hotel, nestled in a village, tucked away in 42 hectares of vineyard, forestland, and olive tree and lavender fields, gazing out wistfully across the Parc National du Luberon.

A thrilling adventure, and an urge to weave together the very finest of threads in a richly brocaded tapestry: seamlessly subtle architecture, high ideals, Provence's iconic coquilladou lark from which the resort takes its name. All the authentic charm of a village-based hotel, a family-friendly atmosphere and the French flair for the finer things in life: an elegant getaway unlike any other.

Relais & Châteaux

Coquillade Provence has been a member of the Relais & Châteaux programme since 2010.

Founded in 1954, the association emerged when artistic couple Marcel and Nelly Tilloy decided to share their 'Route to Happiness', linking their establishment to seven others scattered across France. In doing so, they paved the way for what is now the world's most prestigious hospitality association.

Today, the association is world-renowned, and features a catalogue of over 580 incredible restaurants and hotels across all five continents.
