La Réserve Ramatuelle

• 

  A private domain in the Provençal garrigue above Saint-Tropez, a few minutes from the village but set apart from its crowds. 27 rooms and suites plus 14 standalone villas with private pools, home to the two-Michelin-star restaurant La Voile and a Pampelonne beach club designed with Philippe Starck.

• A vast private domain nestled in the Provençal garrigue, a few minutes from the fabled village of Saint-Tropez but far from its crowds and noise, La Réserve Ramatuelle overlooks one of the most beautiful bays on the French Riviera. The property belongs to entrepreneur Michel Reybier, whose La Réserve group also runs sister addresses in Geneva and Zermatt.

• 

  La Voile holds two Michelin stars under chef Eric Canino, whose style took shape working alongside Michel Guérard. Open seasonally from May to October, the kitchen leans entirely on Provençal terroir — fish, olive oil, and fruit, vegetables and herbs from La Réserve's own kitchen garden.

  On Pampelonne beach, La Réserve à la Plage reinvents the Tropezian beach club, designed by Michel Reybier together with Philippe Starck — a bar, restaurant and relaxation area with feet in the sand and the Mediterranean in full view.

• Beyond La Voile and the beach, the property runs La Brasserie for an all-day terrace, La Piscine for poolside Italian food, La Muña for a Japanese menu prepared by two master sushi chefs, and L'Oliviera Bar for an evening drink over the sea.

• 

  The spa spans an entire floor, built around the Nescens Wellness Experience — treatments and programmes drawing on the latest in health, fitness and aesthetics — alongside a fitness centre open 24 hours.

• The hotel's 27 rooms and suites each open onto a sea-facing terrace or a private garden. Deluxe rooms and Junior Suites come with partial or full sea views; a run of named signature suites — Riviera, Volterra, Méditerranée, Quessine, Camarat, Escalet and Taillat — each bring their own layout and outlook over the bay.

• 

  14 standalone villas, each with a private pool and terrace, sit across the grounds for a family or group who want the privacy of their own house with the full resources of the hotel — restaurants, spa, beach club — behind them.

La Réserve Ramatuelle suits travellers who want Saint-Tropez's setting without its crowds — a private domain a short drive from the village, with a genuine Michelin-starred kitchen and a beach club that carries real design pedigree. The villas in particular suit a family or group who want their own address rather than adjoining hotel rooms. Because the property sits apart in the garrigue, travellers who want to walk straight into Saint-Tropez's nightlife from their room should look at a hotel in the village itself; for those happy to arrive by car or shuttle and stay within a self-contained world, this is one of the most complete addresses on this stretch of coast.
