Moment in Meribel

Ski-in/ski-out access in the Three Valleys, with a private sauna and massage room waiting when you come off the mountain – this penthouse apartment is built for serious winter escapes. The living areas are vast enough to gather a large group beneath a vaulted ceiling and a fireplace, with pine forests and mountain panoramas beyond the glass. Beyond the apartment itself, the resort's wellness offering is exceptional – an indoor pool, hammam, salt grotto, ice fountain, and cryo suite all on site. Concierge, valet parking, and a lounge bar mean you rarely need to venture far.

Home truths:
* This is a duplex apartment across two floors, so you'll be using the internal stairs regularly when moving between the sleeping areas and the main living spaces.
* One bedroom has a bunk bed along with its super-king bed, which means it works well as a family suite. There's also an additional bunk bed in an alcove, rather than in a standalone bedroom – both bunk beds are best suited to children.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot and high chair for your stay.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, spa, and lounge bar here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* The resort offers a private shuttle service for getting around the local area. You can also use the free Meribus shuttle, which covers the entire valley.
