All year round, the iconic harbour welcomes regular visitors who join the ritual of shopping at the fish market or a round of pétanque with friends on Place des Lices. Whether for a weekend or for life, Saint-Tropez blends the charm of an authentic Provençal village and the glamorous lifestyle of a haven for the jet set and the world’s biggest stars. What other destination can boast 17 five-star and four palace hotels within such a small area? None!

A property purchase of head and heart

Other than the old village and the harbour, where most of the properties are apartments, the most sought-after districts of the peninsula remain the same with each passing season: Les Salins, Le Capon, Tahiti and Pampelonne. The ultimate, rare find is a property in one of the gated estates overlooking the sea... Bearing in mind that Saint-Tropez of course includes its neighbour Ramatuelle, another charming village perched above (excellent) vineyards and the Mediterranean at an elevation of 130 metres (425 feet). Each villa here is bolder and more stunning than the next, just a stone’s throw from the beaches. 
Buy a villa or apartment on the Saint-Tropez peninsula means being able to bask all year round in a gentle light that cannot be found anywhere else. The buzz of the peak season gives way to a gentle Indian summer. As autumn rolls in and the trees on the Citadelle hill take on glowing colours, calm returns to the narrow streets, and the Mistral wind remains mild and pure. Adepts of the Saint-Tropez dolce vita lifestyle while away the last balmy evenings with another time-honoured tradition: a glass of rosé on the terrace at the Sénéquier, the Café de Paris or l'Escale, before heading over to the old harbour for sunset, or to Place des Lices. Or, why not, an aperitif outside the Nao, or at the bar of the Hotel Sube? Then it’s time for dinner, with gourmet options including La Vague d’Or, Le Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez, La Voile, or La Réserve Ramatuelle, or, for a more laid-back ambiance, Le Caprice par Jules et César.
In terms of real estate alone, the prices per square metre on the Saint-Tropez market are among the highest in France, reflecting the constant demand from both French and international clients for exceptional properties on this peninsula unlike any other. But at the same time, investing in Saint-Tropez is a wise choice in the medium to long term, provided that you get the very best advice when you make your purchase. Because the location – which is THE fundamental question when it comes to real estate – takes on a whole new dimension here. It’s exclusive, after all!
