Contemporary shelters open to Annecy
Here, the forest stretches to the hillsides, and light filters freely through the trees. Discreetly nestled in this natural setting, the lodges create a haven of tranquility where the pace of life slows down on its own. Take the time to settle in. The rest will fall into place.
To inhabit time.
Guided by light, seasons, and materials, the estate offers spaces that invite you to pause,
to walk, to observe, to linger. Here, the experience isn't built around activities;
it follows a rhythm.
A collection of unique refuges.
Each lodge is a unique interpretation of the refuge, shaped by its woods, materials, and the way it welcomes light. Each reveals a different landscape and rhythm.
Natural textures envelop the space in a quiet warmth, while openings frame nature like a moving painting. Light evolves slowly, transforming volumes and perceptions throughout the day.
From one place to another, the experience is nuanced: more intimate, more open, more mineral or more vegetal — but always guided by the same intention, that of slowing down and reconnecting with the essential.

Stay
The pace is yours.
UNIK Lodges is open all year round. Each season offers a different way of experiencing time — the breath of spring, the light of summer, the brume of autumn, the silence of winter.
Check-in from 4pm. Check-out before 11am.
We are available before your arrival for any special requests.
Experiencing the place
The forest surrounds. The fire is lit in the evening. The sky opens at night.
Around the lodges, the estate is best experienced on foot, in silence, at the rhythm of the seasons. Each hour of the day offers a different way to be in the place — without a schedule, without an imposed itinerary.
