ABOUT:
Sainte Maxime &
The Gulf of St Tropez
After being named the No. 1 seaside resort destination in France, Sainte-Maxime and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez will be home to the upcoming Spring and Summer 2024 wellness retreats. With its stylishly sublime seaside oasis as the ultimate backdrop, these retreats will turn your dream vacation in the South of France into a reality. Here, you can enjoy a wonderful balance of exploration and relaxation.
Pampelonne Beach is a world-famous beach located in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. It is known for its chic vibe and its long stretch of azure coastline. Visitors can enjoy seaside lunch at one of the many delicious and lively restaurants that line the beach, or simply relax under the aesthetically-pleasing arrangement of parasols and sunbeds.
We will stroll the charming streets of Sainte-Maxime and its neighboring villages, which are known for their shopping, crystal-clear beaches, outdoor markets full of local finds, and great restaurants. These villages embody the art of Provençal living with a touch of French Riviera flair.
Take a magnificent walk along the coastal paths of Saint-Tropez and the surrounding towns, known as the Sentier du Littoral. With stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline, we will discover breathtaking seascapes, coves, creeks, and gorgeous villas that line the way.
