Como Le Beauvallon

Formerly the Le Beauvallon, this property has been reimagined under the COMO banner to offer something rare in the South of France: actual breathing room. Located in Grimaud, just across the bay from the port, the hotel is a masterclass in "quiet luxury." The architecture retains its historic, palatial bones—complete with that iconic pale-yellow facade—but the interiors have been stripped back to a soulful, airy minimalism. With just 40-odd rooms, it feels incredibly exclusive, like staying at the private estate of a very wealthy, very Zen friend. You have the private beach club for when you want the sand, but the real draw is the holistic COMO Shambhala retreat, which turns a standard Mediterranean holiday into a genuine reset.

A serene, high-design enclave on the quieter side of the Gulf, where COMO’s signature wellness-first philosophy meets the effortless glamour of the French Riviera.

It isn't a see-and-be-seen beach club riot. You won’t find magnums of Champagne being sprayed here—this is for the guest who wants the Saint-Tropez sun without the Saint-Tropez noise.

You want the Saint-Tropez lifestyle on your own terms. You’re here for the 180-degree views of the Mediterranean, the world-class spa treatments, and the ability to boat over to the Place des Lices for people-watching before retreating back to your sanctuary. Bottom line: you’re looking for a sophisticated, wellness-oriented escape that feels worlds away from the crowds, yet keeps the glitter of the Coast within arm's reach.

Morning yoga on the terrace as the sun crests over the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The air is thick with the scent of pine and sea salt, and the only sound is the distant hum of a Riva boat cutting through the glass-still water. You’ve just finished a fresh-pressed ginger tonic, and for the first time in months, your phone is the furthest thing from your mind.

COMO Cuisine – The brand’s signature dining concept, focusing on organic, locally sourced Mediterranean ingredients. It’s light, vibrant, and surprisingly indulgent, proving that "healthy" can still mean a perfect sea bass with local olive oil. The Beach Club – A stylish, understated spot right on the water for long, lazy lunches of grilled langoustines and chilled Blanc de Blancs. The Bar – An elegant, shaded terrace perfect for a sunset spritz while watching the lights of Saint-Tropez flicker on across the bay.
