Hi, I'm Maia.

(Pronounced Maya)

I'm a visually obsessed, native New Yorker, who's always searching for the coolest in design, food & travel. 

Over the last 5 years, I left a well established career in healthcare to pursue my passion for design and writing.  This website is my little piece of inspiration, thoughts & adventures as I seek out the most creative spaces  & experiences around the world.

I hope you find this inspiring & share with me what inspires you as well! I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!

xx,

Maia

Hotel Sezz in Saint-Tropez, France

Hotel Sezz in Saint-Tropez, France

Folks, I am in such a wanderlusting mood lately. All I want to do is TRAVEL. I spend hours researching the best designed hotels and creating potential itineraries. I'm such a nerd, I know. Since my boyfriend and I just moved, we won't be able to plan an overseas escape until next year, but that really hasn't stopped me! 

In one of my recent searches, I came across the gorgeous Hotel Sezz, just 5 minutes outside of Saint-Tropez, France. Saint-Tropez boasts some of the world's best hotels, restaurants, and beaches. Whether you want to get your foodie fix, lay on the beach, or charter a yacht, you can find something to fit your travel style. 

Welcome to vacation magic! 

Hotel Sezz is a design lover's gem. The 5-star boutique hotel space has a total of 35 rooms and 2 villas, ensuring privacy and luxurious amenities designed by Christophe Pillet, who was trained by interior design superstar, Philipe Starck. The minimalistic and cool colors of Hotel Sezz evoke a calm mood also encouraged by the palm tree covered and heated outdoor pool, full spa, and yoga classes. After all this relaxation leaves you feeling like you want to toast to the good life, there also happens to be a Dom Perignon champagne bar waiting for you! 

In addition to it's gorgeous contemporary design, Hotel Sezz also has a huge eye on being environmentally friendly. The hotel only uses energy saving light bulbs, has installed thermal insulation, developed a tree conservation program, and recycles rainwater. The owners and designers have created a space where natural beauty and luxury blend exceptionally well. 

All in all, a stay at Hotel Sezz would be a dream vacation!
