Choose a luxury hotel in St-Tropez with Small Luxury Hotels of the World to discover a former fishing village turned jet setters’ playground. You’ll live it up at decadent beach clubs and linger over games of pétanque on the Place des Lices.
Luxury things to do in St-Tropez
Promenade past the muted pastel façades of the marina to see old-fashioned fishing boats sitting alongside sleek yachts. The bay becomes a billowing mass of white sails during the Voiles de St-Tropez regatta. Browse the plush designer boutiques like Louis Vuitton, set in a provençal villa with its own courtyard garden. Take a private tour of the Annonciade Museum set in a former chapel. Its simple whitewashed interior displays Pointillist renderings of the bay by Paul Signac, who ‘discovered’ St-Tropez in 1892.
Luxury St-Tropez beaches
The scalloped white sand of Pampelonne Beach was the backdrop for French siren Brigitte Bardot as she frolicked in And God Created Woman. Tiered seating allows for prime vistas of Riviera regulars in Missoni bikinis and heels. Charter a private yacht and head for the island of Porquerolles. Plage d’Argent, with its backdrop of umbrella pines, is an unspoilt favourite of Tropéziens.
Gourmet St-Tropez
The harbour is buzzing with elegant brasseries with lavish baroque interiors and shaded terraces overlooking the bay. Savour monkfish with red bell pepper and chorizo. Mashed potatoes with local Var truffles are a delicious accompaniment. Visit the Place des Lices outdoor market to buy lavender honey and traditional tarte tropézienne. At nearby Ramatuelle vineyards, local rosés are redolent of fresh strawberries.
Book your luxury hotel in Saint Tropez with Small Luxury Hotels of the World to mingle with honey-tanned glitterati. You’ll feel like a 1950s film star as you luxuriate in the lush Mediterranean parkland of your boutique hotel.
