Bygone glamour has never been reimagined for the modern traveller, similarly to Le Beauvallon. Enfolded within 10 acres of terraced gardens shaded by palms and umbrella pines on the shores of the Bay of Saint-Tropez, this magnificent Belle Époque palace will welcome discerning travellers to have the rare opportunity to experience this iconic retreat as a boutique hotel for the first time.
Le Beauvallon’s 25 sea-view suites are across the bay from the vivacious pulse of Saint-Tropez—only eight minutes by boat—and adjacent to the prestigious Golf Club de Beauvallon. The property is also framed by other exceptionalities: a private beach club, Mediterranean ambience, and a dedicated pontoon for yacht arrivals.
Since its grand debut in 1914, Le Beauvallon had merely been an exclusive venue for private celebrations and high-profile events while embodying the timeless allure of the Côte d’Azur. Yet, Le Beauvallon can be referred to as a last-minute escape for those seeking effortless elegance and privacy at the height of summer, or any time between 1st July and 31st October 2025.
This transformation marks the first stage of a landmark collaboration with COMO, the renowned, family-owned hospitality brand founded by Christina Ong. With a global portfolio of award-winning hotels, private islands, and urban retreats across 20 destinations over the past three decades, COMO is synonymous with precise service, holistic wellness, and exceptional, Michelin-starred cuisine.
“When COMO Le Beauvallon officially opens in 2026, it will represent a defining moment for our brand,” stated Olivier Jolivet, CEO of COMO. “Each COMO property is shaped by its extraordinary setting, from the heart of London’s Mayfair to the protected landscapes of the Alpe di Siusi. Saint-Tropez is a natural next step.”
In anticipation of its full debut, Le Beauvallon’s iconic beach club will unveil a bold new culinary direction for the 2025 season. Guests will be invited to indulge in a creative blend of Mediterranean and Asian influences, enjoyed in a relaxed, sun-drenched setting with sweeping views of the bay. The gastronomic experience will be further elevated in 2026 with the arrival of visionary Chef Yannick Alléno, one of the world’s most decorated culinary talents, with 17 Michelin stars to his name.
As Le Beauvallon evolves, it remains rooted in its heritage—while redefining Riviera luxury for a new generation.
