Chalet Mandala

Before it became a design retreat, Chalet Mandala was an authentic alpine residence built in the great Megève tradition. Deeply attached to the spirit of the place, the owners wanted to preserve that heritage while opening a new chapter. To do so, they turned to interior architect Charlotte Barone, who led a complete renovation in two thousand twenty three.

Her ambition was to reinvent the chalet without ever losing its soul. She imagined a cathedral style living room centred around a sculptural fireplace, reorganised the three levels around a majestic staircase, increased the flow of natural light and created an atmosphere where heritage and modernity speak to each other with quiet subtlety. Chalet Mandala was reborn, faithful to its origins yet entirely contemporary, offering the gentle feeling of being in a house with a story and many bright days ahead.

The chalet’s architecture strikes a beautifully controlled balance. Stone, aged wood and raw materials anchor Mandala firmly in its alpine environment, while contemporary lines and discreet Art Deco details bring a touch of modern elegance. The spacious, light filled living room is arranged around its impressive fireplace, a natural gathering point for everyone who stays here.

Inside, the decor unfolds through natural tones, soft textiles and tactile materials. Each bedroom carries its own personality, always warm and refined, and each comes with an en suite bathroom for total privacy. The master suite opens onto panoramic mountain views and even includes a secret entrance to the spa, hidden behind the shower.

At the heart of the chalet, wellbeing takes centre stage. Guests can enjoy an indoor pool decorated with golden mosaics, as well as a sauna, a hammam and a gym. A large outdoor terrace completes the experience with a jacuzzi that looks out toward the surrounding peaks.
