Mas des Herbes Blanches

Mas des Herbes Blanches

Mas des Herbes Blanches is a former Provençal farmhouse in Joucas, its forty-eight rooms and suites built into the natural setting of the Luberon, several opening onto private pools with views over the valley rather than a shared terrace below. The hotel belongs to Relais & Châteaux, and the rooms carry that signature: individual décor, air conditioning paired with separate heating, and a balcony or terrace in every category. Dinner runs through La Table du Mas, whose gourmet menu is served with views over the Lubéron valley, and through La Guinguette, a newer bar and restaurant that keeps the later hours looser. What the hotel offers that its neighbours mostly leave generic is JOCADAE Spa by CODAGE, a named spa partnership rather than an unbranded treatment list, with hammam, sauna, fitness room and massage. Gordes is eight kilometres away and Avignon's TGV station an hour's drive, close enough for an afternoon out and far enough that no one arrives by accident. Tennis, hiking and bike rental keep active guests occupied; a playroom, a children's pool and babysitting keep families comfortable, and pets are allowed throughout. It suits travellers who plan a trip around a specific window rather than expect a hotel to be there year-round: the 2026 season runs from 24 April to 11 October, and the rest of the year the doors are closed. Booking here means booking a season as much as a room; the calendar decides more than the rate does. A former Provençal farmhouse in Joucas, its forty-eight rooms individually decorated, some opening onto private pools with Luberon valley views. Relais & Châteaux runs it, JOCADAE Spa by CODAGE anchors it, and the season is short: open only from 24 April to 11 October.
