Chalet Calima, Verbier, Switzerland

Chalet Calima is a modern, light-filled chalet located in the exclusive residential area above Verbier's centre. The use of stone and wood in the striking interior decor pass more than a nod to traditional building methods but the ambience of this property is definitely chic, sleek, modern and calming. The lower floor houses a spectacular indoor swimming pool with depth adjustment (surely one of the best private pools in the resort) and also offers and indoor hot tub as well as an outdoor hot tub on a large south facing terrace. Also on this lower level is a spacious cinema room which can double up as a conference space, a professional-grade ski room with boot warmers and secure parking for four cars.

The uppermost floor is dedicated to the communal light-filled living and dining space which stretches the full width of the property. The floor-to-ceiling French windows frame sweeping views of the resort below and the mountain peaks surrounding Verbier. A marble-clad wood-burning fireplace is the centrepiece of the room, and at night, Verbier's streetlights twinkle below as you dine or relax.

Chalet Calima's sense of calm is instantly tangible. Ideal for families or small groups, with capacity for up to eight guests, the flowing design spans four floors all linked by both staircase and elevator.
