What started as a new concept in beach resorts a few years back has today become the ultimate summer destination, forever changing the beach experience in Lebanon and the region.
Breaking records and redefining the concept of luxury, Orchid became
a trendsetter, raising the standards of hospitality to an unprecedented first.

Going to the beach will no longer be the same.

A delight to the eye and a pleasure to the senses, Orchid has turned into
a sensorial haven, a senses’ retreat offering its guests a holistic experience that indulges body and soul.

Orchid, a beach... a lifestyle

Situated in Jiyeh, Lebanon’s select summer destination, a 25 minutes drive from Beirut’s Central District; Orchid is easily accessible from Beirut, the south and the Shouf area of Mount Lebanon, 100 meters away from the closest residential area, a traffic & annoyance free location.

The location offers many advantages: it is one of the sunniest, most cloud free spots on the Lebanese seaside.

A secluded 50 meters stretch of white sandy beach coast with a clear & unobstructed view of the sea.

Never has a beach resort been so unique and exclusive in its design: an unprecedented open architecture that yet respects privacy… that blends with its surrounding and yet stands out in its design… A customized structure that gives the guest the impression that the resort was tailor made for him.

Accordingly, Orchid offers its visitors a multitude of options and the possibility of choosing what best suits their tastes.

Orchid’s distinctiveness did not merely set it apart from other resorts in the region, it went all the way to inspire prominent artists to privilege it in their own way.

In May 2010, Guy Manoukian* released “Orchid, by Guy Manoukian”, a music CD mixed by Benjamin Joubert, that evokes Orchid’s mood and feel, a music that moves you and reminds you of what Orchid is all about, an auditory experience that captures the spirit of Orchid.

The CD was an instant success and its music is played not only in the lounge bars and night clubs of Lebanon and the region, but all around Europe as well.

* A renowned musician, composer and pianist whose music reached an international scope. Manoukian also produces music and sound design for films, artists, concept albums and advertisements.
