Far from the crowds, close to the essentials: our best addresses and tips for discovering Saint-Tropez differently.
Do you dream of discovering Saint-Tropez without traffic jams, queues, or crowded beaches? Good news: it’s entirely possible. As a family-run hotel that has been in Ramatuelle, near Saint-Tropez, for three generations, we know the secrets to a peaceful stay on the French Riviera.
Here are our tips for visiting the village with complete peace of mind… while enjoying the discreet charm of La Figuière, our characterful hotel surrounded by nature.
1. Choose the right time to visit
Saint-Tropez attracts crowds in summer, but some times are better than others. May, June, and September offer the perfect balance: the sun is shining, the beaches are still peaceful, and the atmosphere is more relaxed. Even in the height of summer, simply avoid peak times (midday and 5 p.m.) to enjoy the village and the surrounding roads with greater ease.
2. Sleep peacefully, just a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle
At La Figuière, you are just a few minutes from Saint-Tropez… without the drawbacks. Far from the hustle and bustle, our hotel offers a peaceful setting, with rooms overlooking the garden, the swimming pool, a lavender field, or the vineyards.
On site, you can also enjoy our restaurant: for over 20 years, chef André Fumat has been delighting our guests with his delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Whether it’s lunch by the pool or dinner under the stars, every meal becomes an enchanting experience.
3. Explore the village off the beaten track
Saint-Tropez is not just about Place des Lices and luxury boutiques. Lose yourself in the narrow streets of the old village, discover local art galleries, climb up to the citadel for a panoramic view of the gulf. And for an authentic break, sit on the terrace of a historic café or stroll through the Provençal market (Tuesdays and Saturdays), a local must-see.
4. Enjoy the beaches differently
Forget crowded beaches: Les Salins beach remains one of the most charming and unspoiled in the region. Easily accessible from the hotel, it is the ideal place for lunch with your feet in the sand, in a natural and intimate setting. The staff at La Figuière will be happy to recommend the best places to go, depending on what you feel like doing.
5. Take a break at La Figuière
Sometimes it’s the little details that make all the difference. At La Figuière, every room is designed with your well-being in mind: quality bedding, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with access to international channels and streaming platforms, not to mention bright and carefully decorated spaces. Whether you’re here to disconnect… or stay in touch with the world, you’ll find everything you need for a stay at your own pace.
