From the transmutation of metals to the quest for perfection, alchemy has always sought to reveal the hidden essence of things. At the Beau-Rivage Palace, it is embodied in a thousand thoughtful touches: an oil that becomes a soothing massage, an apple that transforms into an exceptional dessert, a room that becomes a timeless retreat.
During the festive season, our programme celebrates these metamorphoses, where expertise, creativity and emotion
come together to transform every moment into a precious memory.
