Ultima Megeve

Utterly Gorgeous

Utter discretion, utter elegance, and a picture postcard chocolate box full of delights. Seamless service, all the notes coming together to create the sweetest symphony. The essential elements of your visit to the mountains, life in harmony so that you can focus on the fun.

It has to be like this: your life is not always so balanced, so in tune. But your alpine adventure is an escape from the pressure. A precious jewel in your calendar, it is finely polished, no flaws. It sparkles.

Ultima, Megève, understands all this and how to deliver. It is a private chalet for the use of a single group of up to 18 guests in 9 bedrooms, all of which have ensuite bathrooms and dressing rooms. With access to its own helipad, you can arrive at the Ultima, and come and go, in absolute privacy. The party can be intimate, your nearest and most trusted, but it will be a party. And this party is fine-tuned to your every need, like hearing the best ever version of your favourite song.

The spaces for entertaining are lavish. Areas to stretch out on dreamy sofas, areas to gather for games and conversations and a glamourous bar to dream up the most exotic cocktail you can remember and challenge your bartender to create heaven in a glass. Outside areas to watch the sun disappear behind the mountain range and welcome the stars to the night-time sky.

Dining will be sublime, culinary magic served at a glassy dining table with its view through wide windows to a panorama of snowy peaks. Cushioned white chairs are so comfortable you won’t notice the hours slipping away. The wine cellar does not comprehend a dichotomy between quality and quantity, surely it’s better to supply both at the same time. The evening might, after all, turn into imperceptibly into the early hours and you don’t want to run out of the good stuff. Then, when you feel like a carouse, you can continue in your own underground nightclub without leaving your domain. If more fun needs to be had, there’s also the games arcade, nothing like a bit of pinball wizardry for a laugh.

Ski time, is, of course, also spa time. With two pools, a hammam, a jacuzzi and visiting professionals who tend to your health (soothing those ski-weary legs) or your beauty (most people need a bit of attention after a day in a ski helmet), the Ultima will ensure that you, and all your party, find recuperation. In case anyone is missing their treadmills and their weightlifting despite days on the slopes, or perhaps because of a demanding training schedule, there is a fully equipped gym.

Surroundings are important, and best if subtle, you don’t have to notice how they have achieved their artistry. The interior design of Ultima, Megève, hallows its theme of sophistication and playfulness. Comfort, bespoke furniture, bronze-covered chimneys. Soft hues of cream and old timber offset by beige and gold or a resplendent touch of marble. A hint of decadence. Surprising items catch your attention, glossy glasswork, appealing statues, they make you smile. A bit of fun. It reflects your style. It reflects your ultimate holiday.
