Las Rozas Village: Raw Materials and Poetic Craftsmanship

Just outside Madrid, Las Rozas Village invites a sensory journey. The destination unveils Mano a Mano, a three-part celebration of raw materials: ceramics, textiles, natural fibers. First chapter: earth. Artists Adriana Cabello, Bussoga and Andrea Santamarina reinterpret the Botijo, an iconic Spanish jug, through a poetic installation of 3,600 bricks and 100 ceramic pieces.

The Glass House becomes a living workshop where tradition meets contemporary expression. Gestures, textures, the beauty of imperfection—here, material speaks through time. A sensory narrative that feels part exhibition, part reverie.

La Vallée Village: Haute Cuisine Meets Haute Couture

Since March 10, La Vallée Village invites guests to sit down and savour. Christian Le Squer—three Michelin stars and the precision of a sculptor—has signed the new menu at Menu Palais. At the heart: ultra-fresh ingredients, sculptural plating, and a clear tribute to the sea.

A special mention for the standing spaghetti gratin, a bold vertical statement on the plate. Just 40 minutes from Paris, among pastel façades and storied maisons, lunch becomes a gourmet manifesto. Haute couture, haute cuisine—same standards, same thrill.

An Ode to Stylish Wandering

At Bicester Village, you may come for a brand—but you stay for the mood. More than just an open-air shopping destination, it’s a cultural escape. From Oxfordshire to Madrid via Paris, the villages of The Bicester Collection re-enchant shopping by injecting it with story, art, and joy.

Fashion, memory, craftsmanship, cuisine: here, luxury becomes a total experience. You don’t just browse—you linger, explore, feel. And you leave not just with a bag, but with a moment, a rhythm, a state of mind.
