The end-of-year holidays are approaching, and with them, a question arises: should you spend your Christmas holidays in the mountains, in the heart of a luxury chalet, or enjoy the sun in a villa right on the water? At Living 71 , specialists in luxury rentals, we offer you two contrasting, but equally enchanting, worlds: the Alps, with Courchevel, Val d'Isère and the Italian Piedmont, or Mauritius, a true jewel of the Indian Ocean.
In this article, we help you choose the ideal destination for your holiday celebrations, highlighting the advantages of each option.

Christmas in the mountains: the magic of luxury chalets
Christmas holidays in the mountains embody a unique atmosphere, where festive conviviality blends with the pristine beauty of the alpine landscapes. Nothing compares to the pleasure of sharing a gourmet dinner by the fire after a day on the slopes.
Courchevel: elegance and refinement
Courchevel is arguably the most prestigious ski resort in the French Alps. Renowned for its slopes accessible to all levels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and chic atmosphere, it attracts an international clientele in search of luxury and comfort.
Our prestigious chalets in Courchevel combine traditional architecture with modern amenities: private spas, cinemas, indoor pools, private chef services, and a high-end concierge service. It's the perfect destination for a magical Christmas in the heart of the mountains.
Val d'Isère: sport and authenticity
With its ski area connected to Tignes, Val d'Isère is a legendary resort that attracts ski and snowboard enthusiasts. But beyond the sport, it retains an authentic charm with its stone and wood chalets and friendly atmosphere.
Our luxury chalets in Val d'Isère offer an immersive experience: you'll enjoy absolute comfort while being close to mountain culture. Whether you want to spend your days on the slopes or relax in a hot tub with panoramic views, Val d'Isère combines athletic performance with the art of living.
Italian Piedmont: discreet charm and gastronomy
Less well-known than its French neighbors, the Italian Piedmont is a true gem for those seeking authenticity and tranquility. The region captivates with its intimate resorts, picturesque villages, and Italian art of living. Between ski descents, local wine tastings, and gourmet specialties like white truffles, Piedmont is the ideal alternative for a refined Christmas off the beaten track.
The luxury chalets selected by Living 71 in this region combine alpine charm and contemporary design. Everything here is designed for a discreet stay, with tailor-made services for an unforgettable experience.
Christmas in the sun: escape to Mauritius
Unlike snow-capped peaks, Christmas can also mean white sand and turquoise lagoons. Mauritius is one of the most popular destinations for a sunny December getaway.
A tropical interlude
Imagine celebrating Christmas with a poolside barbecue or enjoying a fine dining overlooking the ocean. Mauritius' luxury villas offer an idyllic setting for those wishing to escape the winter cold and enjoy a warm, pleasant climate.
Our properties, located in the most beautiful areas of the island, feature private beaches, infinity pools, spacious terraces, and premium concierge services. You can enjoy a dream vacation with complete peace of mind.
Activities for the whole family
Mauritius is not limited to its heavenly landscapes. It offers a multitude of activities: catamaran excursions, scuba diving, hiking in the island's mountains, discovery of Creole culture and its mixed gastronomy.
It's an opportunity to experience a different Christmas, marked by exoticism and conviviality, in a setting that combines nature and refinement.
Snow or sun: how to choose your Christmas destination?
The choice between a luxury mountain chalet and a sunny villa in Mauritius depends above all on your desires and how you imagine the end-of-year celebrations.
Do you enjoy a cozy atmosphere, traditional meals, and winter sports? Choose a stay in a chalet in Courchevel, Val d'Isère, or the Italian Piedmont.
