Makini

The King of Verbier

Occupying one of the most coveted positions in Verbier’s exclusive Le Hameau enclave, Chalet Makini is an exceptional ski-in, ski-out retreat that combines contemporary luxury with alpine charm. Set majestically on the edge of a tranquil mountain lake, this iconic chalet offers a rare sense of peace and privacy, while remaining moments from the heart of the resort.

Recently expanded and reimagined, Chalet Makini now accommodates up to fourteen guests across seven beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms, including two magnificent master suites with serene views across the water and surrounding peaks. Every bedroom has been thoughtfully designed with refined finishes, sumptuous fabrics and state-of-the-art entertainment systems including Apple TV, Netflix and Sonos, creating luxurious sanctuaries in which to unwind after a day on the mountain.

One of only a handful of chalets in Verbier with true ski-in, ski-out access, guests can click into their skis directly from the chalet and glide down to the Le Rouge piste, returning home at the end of the day to the warmth and comfort of this extraordinary alpine residence.

The interiors are both sophisticated and inviting. Contemporary furnishings, elegant artwork and shimmering chandeliers sit harmoniously alongside reclaimed timber beams, polished oak floors, natural stone and carefully selected antiques. Extensive glazing floods the chalet with natural light while framing breathtaking mountain scenery from every angle. Throughout, the levels of craftsmanship and attention to detail are simply exceptional.

Chalet Makini boasts three distinctive living areas, each designed to foster comfort and conviviality. Crackling fireplaces, deep sofas and cosy corners create intimate spaces for relaxed evenings with family and friends, while two of the principal lounges feature high-definition projector screens for immersive entertainment. A further top-floor snug with large television provides the perfect hideaway for younger guests or quiet moments away from the main entertaining spaces.

The chalet’s remarkable wellness area is undoubtedly one of the finest private spa facilities in Verbier. Designed to engage all the senses, this vast sanctuary features Switzerland’s first swimming pool with an integrated patented Sicis lighting system, creating a mesmerising ambience beneath the water. A dramatic water wall, soothing fountain, Finnish sauna with red light therapy, hammam and outdoor jacuzzi accessed via elegant floating Japanese steps combine to create an atmosphere of complete serenity.

Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the spa in natural light, enhancing the sense of calm and connection with the surrounding alpine landscape. There is also a fully equipped gym and massage room for those seeking rejuvenation after an exhilarating day on the slopes.

For memorable evenings together, guests can gather beneath vaulted stone ceilings in the newly designed dining area, where up to twelve guests can enjoy long and convivial dinners prepared by your private chef. Whether indulging in a traditional Swiss fondue feast or elegant fine dining, Chalet Makini provides an unforgettable setting for entertaining.

Blending authentic mountain materials with cutting-edge technology and world-class wellness facilities, Chalet Makini is truly in a class of its own; an extraordinary alpine retreat designed for exceptional family holidays, celebrations with friends and luxurious wellness escapes in the heart of Verbier.
