Luxury Stays on the Gulf of Saint-Tropez
Nestled along the shimmering Côte d'Azur, Sainte-Maxime sits directly across the bay from the legendary Saint-Tropez, offering the same dazzling Mediterranean light and turquoise waters with a noticeably more serene atmosphere. The town and its Var backcountry have quietly assembled a remarkable portfolio of luxury properties: clifftop five-star retreats, vine-surrounded château hotels, and design-forward four-star boutiques that balance Provençal soul with contemporary comfort. Whether you are drawn by yacht-dotted marinas, pine-scented hillsides, or the celebrated rosé vineyards of the Var, a high-end hotel here places you at the heart of one of France's most coveted coastal regions.
The luxury offer around Sainte-Maxime spans several distinct settings. Beachfront and village-edge addresses deliver easy access to the promenade, the market, and the ferries crossing to Saint-Tropez, while inland estates near Tourtour and Berne immerse guests in Provençal countryside, lavender-scented air, and estate-produced wines. Across all categories, the region's premium hotels share a commitment to attentive service, gastronomic cuisine, and spa experiences worthy of a proper Riviera escape.
