Saint-Tropez · 7 days
The hotel is made up of a series of "houses", and the rooms sit inside them: Classic, Superior, Deluxe and Deluxe Sea View rooms at 35 to 40 m², then suites of 72 to 80 m² sleeping up to three, and Pool Suites with private gardens and pools. The largest, Villa W, is 250 m² and sleeps six. Materials throughout are polished marble, exposed concrete, exotic woods and natural leather. Every room opens onto a large private terrace; the views run from the hills of Gigaro to the Shape Club to the Mediterranean itself.
The Shape Club is the wellness and sport hub, and it is where the programmes happen. Sessions run indoors and outdoors, with intensity levels that vary across the week, and they are paired with treatments chosen for your programme and adjusted by the therapists. The four programmes — Weight Loss, Detox, Sport and Better Aging — each run in 4, 7, 10 or 14-day formats, so a long weekend and a fortnight are both on the table.
What separates this from a standard Riviera hotel stay is that the food is designed as part of the programme rather than an add-on. The nutritional approach was developed with Jacques Fricker, and the restaurants serve Mediterranean cooking from local producers — light, but built to be enjoyed. You can eat by the pool on a deck chair, on a terrace over the sea, or outside under the night sky.
The location is unusual for the area. The Cap Lardier estate is a protected landscape, one of the green lungs of the French Riviera, and the hotel overlooks the Plage de Gigaro, a wild fine-sand beach stretching over three miles. Saint-Tropez is a few minutes' drive away, so the town is easy to reach without being on top of you.
Autumn is worth knowing about. In October and November the light softens and the pace slows, and the hotel positions this as its quieter season — sea-view villas, Shape Club sessions and the Mediterranean in front of you, with fewer people around.
