Events not to miss in Saint-Tropez

Les Bravades de Saint-Tropez
The town's oldest and most cherished tradition, a colourful two-day procession of musket-firing bravadeurs honouring the patron saint, filling the old streets with pageantry.
- June
Giraglia Rolex Cup
A prestigious offshore sailing race that starts from the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, drawing top crews and lining the port with racing yachts.

Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez
The season finale and one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful regattas, when classic and modern sailing yachts race off the town before daily quayside festivities.
Saint-Tropez through the seasons
- Spring (April – May)
The village before the yachts
Place des Lices markets, quiet café terraces and the pageantry of the Bravade in mid-May. The gentlest time to enjoy the old town from a nearby villa.
- Summer (June – August)
High glamour, beach clubs and rosé
The world arrives: Pampelonne's clubs, the port's superyachts and dinners that run past midnight. Retreat to a private pool in the hills and dip into the scene on your own terms.
- Autumn (September – October)
Les Voiles and warm autumn seas
Regulars swear by late season, when the sea is still warm, tables are easier and Les Voiles fills the gulf with sails. Arguably the finest fortnight of the Tropezien year.
- Winter (November – March)
Quiet quaysides and coastal walks
The port returns to its fishing-village self, ideal for long lunches, Sentier du Littoral walks and unhurried stays. Provence's winter light is a photographer's reward.
The Area and Where to Stay
The town itself clusters around the old port and the Vieille Ville, but most luxury villas sit in the surrounding hills and along the road to Pampelonne. The Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez enclave is the most exclusive address, while the hamlets of Ramatuelle and Gassin offer hilltop views and vineyard calm. For beach days, a villa near Pampelonne keeps the clubs and sands close. Our collection favours private-pool residences with sea or vineyard views, supported by a local concierge.
Things to Do
Summer days drift between the beach clubs of Pampelonne, boat trips along the coast and long lunches in the hills. Explore the old town's boutiques, the Place des Lices market and the Annonciade museum, or drive inland to the perched villages and rose vineyards of the Var. Water sports, tennis and golf are all close, and the harbour is the stage for the town's famous people-watching. Your concierge can arrange charters, club reservations and private tastings.
Food and Local Flavour
Dining ranges from Michelin-starred tables to harbour bistros and beach-club restaurants serving Provencal seafood and chilled rose. Markets brim with local produce, olive oil and tapenade, and the vineyards of the peninsula pour some of Provence's best pink wine. A private chef is a relaxed way to enjoy regional cooking by your own pool, while the concierge can secure the sought-after summer reservations.
When to Visit
The season runs May to September. July and August are at their most glamorous and busiest, with the beach clubs in full swing. June and September are the sweet spots, offering warm sea, long days and a calmer pace. Spring and early autumn suit those who prefer the vineyards, markets and coastal walks to peak-season crowds; a private villa keeps you comfortably above the fray in any month.
Getting There
Most guests fly into Nice Cote d'Azur (NCE), around 90 minutes by road, or the closer Toulon-Hyeres (TLN). Some arrive by helicopter or by yacht into the port. A hire car helps for reaching the hillside villas and inland villages, and the concierge can arrange private transfers, helicopter shuttles and boat charters.
