Chalet Makini, Verbier

Description

Contemporary alpine design at its finest is what you’ll find at Chalet Makini. Of course this luxury ski chalet in Verbier has all the usual first class indulgences, such as a private spa and highly trained chef. But it takes things to another level with amazing architecture and interior design, a prime ski-in/ski-out location, and arguably the best private spa in Verbier.

Feel the boxfresh vibe of this mountain mansion and prepare yourself for a truly luxurious experience. Whether you are with family, friends or work colleagues, you will be expertly looked after by the professional team of staff. At Chalet Makini, nothing is too much trouble, from arranging in-house ski and boot fittings to organising ski guides, stocking up on your favourite vintage wines or providing massages and beauty treatments.

Verbier’s excellent ski runs are right on your doorstep, but there’s far more on offer at Chalet Makini. Just check out the fabulous spa, just 100m from the door, with its swimming pool, sauna, hammam and chill out area. It feels like having your own private health club in the garden. If you can bear to leave this sanctuary to head out onto the mountain, you can ski down a picturesque track through the Hameau to the Le Rouge teleski every morning.

Traditionally constructed in hefty wood beams and stone, this picture perfect chalet has interiors straight out of a design magazine. The architect of Chalet Makini has gone against the trend for enormous open plan living spaces, instead creating a series of cosy nooks where you can sink into a voluptuous sofa in front of a roaring fire and feel at home. Standing in a prime location in the exclusive Hameau development, the chalet has extensive terraces and balconies from which you can admire the fabulous views. There is no lack of grandeur and drama inside either. Look no further than the double height dining room with magnificent cascading glass chandelier and baronial table.

Eating

Your experienced chef is dedicated to your gastronomic pleasure. Breakfasts, afternoon teas and dinners are served every day, and the menus are designed with your input. Although the chef’s services are included in your rental, the food and drink you consume is an additional cost.

Before your stay at Chalet Makini, you will have a menu consultation so that meals can be tailored to your requirements. Perhaps you have vegetarians and diabetics in your party. Perhaps you have a preference for light, healthy meals, or for rich and indulgent feasts. Whatever your requests, the chef will be happy to accommodate them.

Of course, you will want to slake your thirst with the finest wines, Champagnes and spirits. The chalet wine list is from a renowned Verbier Cave. Just let us know what drinks you would like in the chalet, from refreshing beer to fruit juices, fizzy drinks and spirits. Additional services can also be provided at your request, such as cooking lunches at the chalet.
