      Escape to St Tropez

      Every year, St. Tropez draws thousands of travelers looking to experience the picturesque beauty of southeastern France. It became known as a popular celebrity getaway ever since classic Hollywood stars began to frequent the small fishing town on the French Riviera. Since that mid-century discovery, the coastal village has blossomed into a destination offering the best of both worlds—charming, rustic character perfect for glamorous partying. This guide will cover everything you need to taste some of that golden age, including nightlife, chartering a yacht, and of course, the best hotels in St. Tropez.

      Where to Stay

      France is known for its historically breathtaking architecture and St. Tropez delivers with its classical yet luxurious hotels. In the Var region of the city, the 19th Century built Château de la Messardière paints the ideal picture of a magical French getaway, undoubtedly one of the best hotels in St. Tropez. In offering over 100 rooms, it’s the town’s largest hotel, spanning an impressive 25 acres. 

      Guests get to take advantage of the spacious landscape through the many on-site amenities. The gourmet L’Acacia restaurant serves as a romantic, Mediterranean-style culinary experience, overlooking the beaches of Pampelonne. The Château bar Le Soleil d’Eau creates a sultry lounge environment for an intimate cocktail. Guests can also escape to the bar’s Terrace to take in the warm, summer breeze. For those seeking a bit of enlightenment, you don’t have to go far to enjoy the palace’s in-house art gallery. The collection showcases international artists’ exhibitions, highlighting works by Victoire de la Messardière, a descendant of the Messardière family.

      The family-owned Mas Bellevue is a charming space of peace and relaxation, towering over the sea. Whether you’re relaxing from a balcony seat or in the sumptuous garden, the staff are always at the ready to improve your experience, with thoughtful recommendations and exceptionally friendly service. 

      For savvy travelers looking for a more personalized experience, St. Tropez’ many luxury villas are bold architectural experiences that exude creativity and originality. Whether you’re staying in a quaint farmhouse or modern masterpiece, your halls will be filled with curated art, your living room furnished comfortably, and your verdant garden fitted with a shimmering private pool. Explore your options for a spacious and intimate travel experience.

      The Hottest Day Parties

      If there is one place that is truly emblematic of St. Tropez’ notorious daytime revelry, it’s the legendary dayclub Nikki Beach. Locals and summer visitors alike gather at all hours to party by the pool, enjoying themselves through the imposing inflatables in the shape of giant flamingos and swans. Famous DJs like Bob Sinclair and Martin Solveig spin tunes for a vibrant crowd, while the kitchen serves up everything from fresh sushi to locally-sourced vegan dishes.

      Bagatelle has taken over what was once Voile Rouge Beach, and has brilliantly carried on the Pampelonne beach club’s legacy of merriment and joie de vivre. The kitchen provides a wonderful selection of Mediterranean cuisine to be washed down with local wines, and the festive atmosphere encourages guests to enjoy their day to the fullest.

      Lastly, Loulou Ramatuelle is a bit of a rising star. By day, the club has an intimate 50’s Riviera atmosphere for light lunches and relaxation, but by night, the dining tables are traded for turntables and the rosé is replaced with champagne. The highly Instagrammable evening parties have made this club a smash hit in St. Tropez international party scene.




       

      Booking Yacht Charters

      When in St. Tropez, a yacht charter is the secret to taking advantage of the city’s sparkling clear currents. Drawing sailors from around the world, ports bustle with vacationers and residents alike, ready to enjoy a smooth ride along the coast. Luxury yachts are available if you’re seeking the most sophisticated boating experience, whether it be for partying or working on your St. Tropez tan. Day cruise yacht charters are perfect for sightseeing and stopping off at all the trendiest locations down the shoreline. You can also aim for a holiday charter, allowing you to set sail for week-long excursions to places like Cannes or Iles de Lérins. No matter the itinerary, there’s a yacht fit for every traveler to truly take in the gentle breezes of the French Riviera.

      Luxurious Dining

      When they aren’t sailing along St. Tropez’ tides, guests of Le Club 55 indulge in decadent French cuisine at one of the most exclusive establishments in the city. Reservations for the beachside bistro are nearly impossible to acquire, leaving those on the outside to daydream of the delicacies within.

      Le Club 55 has held its own as a celebrity hotspot ever since Brigitte Bardot graced its presence 50 years ago. It still remains at the top of A-list dining destinations thanks to popular dishes like the fresh vegetable platter, grilled langoustine tops, asparagus mousseline and fraises des bois dessert. Giving off the essence of a shorefront day party, it becomes easy to to celebrate the good life as groups often gather there to raise their glasses to another day in paradise.

      Sightseeing

      The beautiful Vieux Port is where the old fishing village first sprung to life, and a must-visit to see an atmospheric harbor lined with fashionable boats and St. Tropez’ iconic pastel houses. The surrounding promenade is filled with quaint cafes and boutiques in the setting that inspired so many impressionist painters.

      La Ponche is the old town of St. Tropez, complete with historic churches and picturesque cobblestone lanes. The Eglise de Notre-Dame de l’Assomption has a gorgeous Italian belltower, where visitors can admire the bust of Saint Tropez, the town’s patron saint.

        As the demands of a vigorous work cycle can lead many to fall behind in various aspects of day-to-day life, many companies like Zocha Group have stepped forward to reduce these stresses by way of offering lifestyle management services. While having one personal assistant can be helpful, hiring a full team of experts allows even more access to benefits that can enhance your life.

        Hospitality

        Long gone are the days of calling a restaurant yourself to set up a reservation.

        Nightlife can also be a tricky industry to maneuver when you have high expectations for a fun night on the town. Skip the hassle of tracking down the right contact at a venue and let us handle it for you.

          What are Luxury Lifestyle Concierge Services?

          Have you ever wondered how some people manage to do it all? From snagging a last minute table for a client dinner at the hottest restaurant in town, to popping champagne at an exclusive new nightclub, to enjoying a helicopter tour overlooking their favorite vacation spot, how is it that some seem to possess all the time in the world to manage both business and pleasure? Many may not realize the answer to that question lies in luxury lifestyle concierge services—the best kept secret in the world of those who do it all.

          Making the Impossible Possible

          The idea of ‘concierge’ may initially bring up images of someone standing at a desk in the lobby of a hotel. But what if you could have all the benefits of concierge assistance every day without having to check in? Luxury concierge companies like Zocha Group are able to offer some of the best experiences available in whichever city is on your itinerary. You can avoid all the hassles of making tedious arrangements and instead truly relax knowing that the details of your adventure are taken care of by professionals who live to ‘make it happen.’

          The key to success for many luxury lifestyle concierge services companies like Zocha Group often comes from personal relationships that are crucial to obtaining access to exclusive opportunities. Clients may not know who to contact in order to rent a private island for a weekend-long party, but when a personal concierge is on your side, they can make the impossible possible. No matter how extraordinary the request, a combination of customer service and an expansive network of connections allow clients to enjoy experiences that surpass their expectations.

          Maintain an Efficient Travel Agenda

          Zocha Group’s concierge services aren’t just limited to personal endeavors, and can be an essential element to facilitating corporate requests. If you’re out to impress a client in their hometown, you can’t just take them to a spot they’ve been to a million times before. And if you’re introducing a team to the perks of a city they’re unfamiliar with, you have the burden of doing all the research to find out what makes that city the place to be. Instead of going through the meticulous process of becoming an expert in every locale you visit, a concierge service can be the insider you need to successfully wine and dine your clients.

          Zocha Group has personal connections with the locations they work with, which means you may even get the added touch of the chef stopping by your table to say hello, or the property owner joining you for a private tour. Whether you’re in charge of booking a series of hotel rooms, securing a conference room for your colleagues, or arranging a tee time that works with everyone’s schedule, having a professional on your side allows your business to maintain an efficient travel agenda without overspending.

          Receive Access to Experiences

          When traveling to a new place, or even taking a staycation in your own city, you may not know about the variety of experiences available for you to enjoy. Finding event tickets, dining reservations or access to exclusive nightlife is only a call away when you have a luxury concierge service like Zocha Group to organize your entry. A personalized itinerary filled with exciting things to do is a major perk when you’re working with a company focused on ensuring your travel experience exceeds expectations. Whether you’re sitting at the private chef’s table, in a premium seat for your favorite artist, or at a wine tasting with a breathtaking view, your personal concierge can create a custom schedule for your trip, leaving you with nothing to do but enjoy the adventure.

          With luxury lifestyle concierge services functioning as a secret weapon for many, the industry is booming with requests as simple as a Sunday brunch reservation and as extravagant as chartering a private jet to South Beach in the next 4 hours. No matter the request, these companies like Zocha Group employ the brightest in the business to ensure that your arrangements are taken care of with integrity and style.
