Where to Stay
Villa Cosy Hôtel & Spa
Boutique luxury hotel with villa-style rooms, pools, and a spa a short walk from the village center.[3][8]

Good to Know
Plan Around Traffic and Parking
In peak season, roads into Saint-Tropez and Pampelonne can be heavily congested, and parking is expensive; arrive early for beach days or consider hotel shuttles and taxis instead of driving.
Book Beach Clubs and Restaurants in Advance
Popular spots like Club 55 and central port restaurants fill quickly, particularly on weekends; reserve loungers and dinner tables several days ahead.
Pack for Sun and Comfort
Bring UV-protective swimwear for kids, hats, reef-safe sunscreen, and sandals suitable for both sand and cobblestones in the old town.
Use Midday for Pool and Rest
The midday sun can be intense; plan beach and sightseeing for mornings and late afternoons, using early afternoon for naps, pool time, or quiet indoor breaks.
Learn a Few French Phrases
Basic phrases like “bonjour,” “s’il vous plaît,” and “merci” go a long way, and kids usually enjoy practicing them with friendly locals.
