Last week I had the pleasure of visiting again with my husband & dear friends. Here is a recap of our favorites from the trip!
Where We Stayed:
Villa Marie
This charming boutique hotel literally made us feel like family guests at their home - we absolutely loved our stay perched in the hills overlooking the Mediterranean. August in St. Tropez can be hot so it was nice to have a cool respite in the hills.
Lunches and Beach Clubs
Le Club 55
With a Provençal feel, packed with glamorous jet set and the original of all the beach clubs..it's a classic spot not to be missed.
Les Palmiers
Les Palmiers in the bay of Ramatuelle may have been our favorite beach club. The atmosphere was totally chic, the food was incredible & not to mention the DJ was spinning great music. We followed lunch with beach beds (reserved in advance) and a dip in the Med. It was a perfect vibe.
Gigi
Gigi, also in Ramatuelle, was an amazing lunch experience with a beautiful pool. We loved Gigi for the gorgeous decor, and a more relaxed and elegant atmosphere. It also boasted a great boutique for shopping mid courses (!) There was live music which was such a treat and the food was top notch. The homemade Nutella waffle à partager was unforgettable.
Indie Beach
Indie Beach was another great spot, with a relaxed bohemian mood. We learned that this beach club has a really fun dinner hour with music which we plan to try next trip!
Shopping
St. Tropez has great shopping - from the big names like Hermes & Loewe to local French boutiques with unique finds. The bi-weekly marché in the Place des Lices (happens every Tuesday & Saturday) with everything from fresh baguettes and flowers to carved horn utensils and provençal soaps was a lively morning activity...I always love treasure hunting!
Nightime in St. Tropez
On our way to La Petite Plage...I highly recommend it for a dinner by the Port and to walk along the marina and admire all of the mega yachts.
