The Riviera's most storied village, from old port to Pampelonne
Saint-Tropez fuses a fishing-village old town with the beach clubs of Pampelonne and the Mediterranean's most watched harbour. We offer more than 150 villas in and around the town, from estates behind the gates of Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez to pool villas in the vineyard hills of Ramatuelle and Gassin, all within reach of the old port, the market on the Place des Lices and the sands.

What's on in Saint-Tropez
- Mid-May
Les Bravades de Saint-Tropez
The town's oldest and most cherished tradition, a colourful procession of musket-firing bravadeurs honouring the patron saint, filling the old streets with pageantry.
- June
Loro Piana Giraglia
The Mediterranean's storied offshore classic opens with days of inshore racing in the gulf before the fleet sets off from Saint-Tropez on a 241-mile course to Genoa, rounding the Giraglia rock off Corsica.
- Early August
Les Nuits du Château de la Moutte
Classical and jazz evenings staged in the grounds of the Château de la Moutte and on Les Canebiers beach, a Tropezien summer institution for some fifty years.
- Late September to early October
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, the lanes of the Vieille Ville and the former fishermen's quarter of La Ponche, but most luxury villas sit in the surrounding hills and along the road to Pampelonne. Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez, a gated enclave on the Cap with its own beaches, is the most exclusive address; the hilltop villages of Ramatuelle and Gassin overlook the vines of the peninsula; and a villa near Pampelonne keeps the clubs and five kilometres of sand within a few minutes' drive. Our collection of more than 150 homes spans all of these, weighted towards private-pool residences with sea or vineyard views and supported by a local concierge, with a handful of estates deeper in the Var countryside towards La Garde-Freinet for those who want complete seclusion.
Things to Do
Summer days drift between the beach clubs of Pampelonne, boat trips along the coves of the Cap and long lunches in the hills. In town, climb to the seventeenth-century Citadel for the best view over the gulf and its museum of maritime history, then drop down to the Annonciade, the small museum that shows why Signac and the painters who followed him made this port famous long before the yachts arrived. The Place des Lices market fills the square on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, petanque takes it over the rest of the week, and the Sentier du Littoral traces the shoreline from the town beaches right around the peninsula's capes. Your concierge can arrange charters, club reservations, tennis, golf and private tastings at the peninsula's wine estates.
Food and Local Flavour
Dining ranges from Michelin-starred tables to harbour bistros and beach-club restaurants serving Provencal seafood with the peninsula's own Cotes de Provence rose, poured from the vineyards of Ramatuelle and Gassin you can see from many villa terraces. Market stalls brim with olive oil, tapenade and the tarte tropezienne, the cream-filled brioche invented in the town in the 1950s and still its signature sweet. A private chef is the relaxed way to enjoy all of it beside your own pool, while the concierge secures the summer reservations that otherwise vanish months ahead.
When to Visit
The season runs May to September. July and August are the busiest and most glamorous, with the beach clubs in full swing and dinners running past midnight. June and September are the sweet spots: warm sea, long days and a calmer pace, with Les Voiles filling the gulf with classic yachts as September closes. Spring belongs to the Bravades and the market squares; in winter the port returns to its fishing-village self, all quiet quaysides, coastal walks and long lunches in the low Provencal light.
Getting There
Most guests fly into Nice Cote d'Azur (NCE), around an hour and a half by road and longer in high summer, or into Toulon-Hyeres (TLN), which is closer. Private aviation lands at La Mole, the small airfield in the hills minutes from town, and helicopters shuttle from Nice and Monaco in season. Arriving by sea is a Saint-Tropez tradition in itself, and in July and August it is often the smartest route: the single peninsula road can crawl, so the concierge will happily arrange boat transfers alongside chauffeured cars and charters.
