Anyone who wants to know where celebrities and the wealthy go on holiday will find the answer at Résidence de la Pinède in St-Tropez.

The keynotes here are an air of quality and discreet hospitality, with staff who clearly endeavour to achieve perfection in everything they do.

Luxury and elegance

Relax on a beautiful location

Most of the rooms are equipped with a balcony looking out on the bright blue water of St-Tropez bay, with its beautiful mountain background and of imposing yachts crowding the harbour. The furnishings are light, classic, and luxurious, just like the rest of the hotel.

You can unwind in the quiet hotel garden, on the private beach – or visit Le Bar. Perhaps have a refreshing dip in the infinity pool, which is quite simply a delight, with a temperature of no less then 30˚ and a towel handed to you as climb out.

Gastronomy and local top quality products

If you want fine dining, you don’t even have to leave the premises, for one wing of the hotel is home to La Vague d’Or. Head Chef Arnaud Donckele makes as much use as he can of locally sourced produce and he’s ready to offer the support local farmers and suppliers need. This Chef has proved that his commitment to local producers goes further than most because he grows his own vegetables and herbs in the garden right by the hotel. That way Arnaud and his team can be sure that only ingredients of the highest quality find their way into his recipes. At La Vague d’Or you’re guaranteed impeccably attentive service and a most rarefied gastronomic experience. There isn’t the slightest doubt this restaurant is worth its three Michelin Stars.

So what was our conclusion? Well, once you’ve had a taste of this level of service and luxury it’s pretty much a certainty you won’t be able to wait to come again.
