A creative retreat where musicians connect, share ideas, and grow together through the magic of collaboration and live interaction.
VITALITY
Experience a breath of ocean air and a fresh perspective—stepping outside the usual to spark true creative flow.
A Sanctuary for Sound
Like the world's most renowned residential studios (think the immersive environments of Miraval or La Fabrique), Supertone Sonic Lab offers more than just equipment; it's a profound creative experience.
This warm, characterful space, nestled in natural beauty, is crafted for you to relax, leave stress behind, and focus completely on your music. It's an invitation to an inspirational and rewarding life experience, where environment and acoustics intertwine to foster unparalleled creativity.

To further enhance your stay and ensure a truly special, stress-free environment, our four friendly Labradors, Hummock, Bobby, Edith and Françoise, are always ready to offer a warm welcome and a little extra relaxation.
Perfect Climate
Enjoy a hot summer Mediterranean climate, much like Los Angeles – ideal for work and relaxation. You can cool off in our swimming pool, or within three minutes, swim in the lagoon or the Atlantic Ocean: the choice is yours.
THE PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy
THE ART OF TOGETHERNESS
We believe true magic happens when musicians connect, playing together in the same room, capturing the raw feel and performance over sterile perfection. Think iconic 60s and 70s records – George Harrison, The Band, The Beatles and now with The Smile, Radiohead and may others.
While we cherish live tracking, we understand that it is not always desirable, or possible and our clients always come first.
The passion
We are passionate about producing beautifully recorded music. With our extensive array of vintage instruments, microphones, CADAC analogue console and recording to the latest versions of Pro Tools Ultimate / Ableton Live, you get the best of both analogue and digital worlds.
At the end of the day, it’s all about putting the right microphone in the right place in the right space.
