Château de la Messardière

Château de la Messardière in Saint-Tropez is a 19th-century castle turned five-star luxury hotel that epitomizes the elegance and exclusivity of the French Riviera. Perched on a hillside, the hotel offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Mediterranean landscape and the bay of Saint-Tropez. Guests can enjoy chauffeured rides in the hotel’s Rolls-Royce to its beach club, Jardin Tropezina, where you can savour grilled langoustine and the hotel’s own exquisite rosé, Roseblood d’Estoublon. The hotel boasts two fantastic pools, the Valmont Spa for luxurious treatments, and a salon for impeccable hair styling. The culinary delights range from lobster club sandwiches by the pool to lychee martinis and king crab tempura at its Matsuhisa restaurant. For a taste of provençal cuisine, L’auberge des Maures is the go-to place for dishes like artichoke barigoule, dauphinoise, and beef daube. It’s worth a visit just for the food. From $1000/night.
