You Were Never Told St Tropez Is Paradise?

The tiny village of St Tropez came into the spotlight in 1956, when “And God created woman”, starring French actress Brigitte Bardot was shot on the beach of Pampelonne. Since it has become one of the most luxurious places in the French Riviera marking the village a jetsetter and celebrity playground.

People are drawn to St Tropez for its array of offerings, and amidst the opulence and glitz, it still is a small fishing village that has captured that hearts (and wallets!) of many.

Stay At

Hotel de Paris Saint Tropez is a 5-star hotel close to the port and shops, features two restaurants, a rooftop pool and bar.

Airelles Saint-Tropez, Chateau de La Messardiere is a 5-star hotel set in a 19th century chateau offers sea views, two pools, spa and fine dining restaurant Matsuhisa which we highly recommend for dinner.

To Do

Head to Loulou on Pampelonne beach to get a taste of the French Riviera. The menu offers the freshest local ingredients, and reinvented classics. Start with a St Tropez Spritz, and pair your lunch with a glass of rose from Cotes de Provence.

Spend a day at Gigi Restaurant. Known for being much more than a restaurant, this establishment hidden under the pine forest in Ramtuelle, is a perfect day out for families. Gigi offers an Italian restaurant, on the seaside, a bellini bar, cabins, play areas, a wellness center and a concept shop.

Celebrate St. Tropez’s joie de vivre at Bagatelle. The perfect place for a day-time party.

Walk through the historic center of St Tropez, and walk along the port, where you can see the world’s largest yachts, and charming fishing boats. Here you will find Barbarac for the best sorbet and ice cream in the village. You will also find Senequier famous for its Tarte Tropezienne. Karl Lagerfeld, a regular at the café chose to present the Chanel Cruise 2010/11 show in front of the café.

Last and not least, the ultimate in resort luxury, visit the House of Chanel St Tropez pop-up store, where you can shop from the resort and cruise collections.
