LUXURY VILLA HOLIDAYS IN ST.TROPEZ

Saint Tropez is located on the Cote d'Azur. For centuries it remained a fishing village, attracting artists, but few tourists. This dramatically changed in 1956 when the movie "And God Created Woman" was shot here starring Brigitte Bardot, catapulting St Tropez into the international limelight.

It is now quite simply, the most famous resort on the French Riviera, and has been dubbed the "playground to jet setters, fashion models, and billionaires". To the outsider St Tropez possesses a gentle beauty. Building restrictions are stringent, and modernization and dramatic facelifts are not allowed. This ensures the resort remains quaint and authentic. However, the millionaire lifestyle is very much in evidence especially around the marina. Stroll around the many designer shops, or for top-end artwork, visit Galerie des Lices. Pampelonne beach is where the jet-set play.

VILLAS FOR RENT IN SAINT TROPEZ

The seaside village Saint Tropez is still very popular with the tourists, although the jet-set and the in-crowd have long since left it behind. Set on the lovely blue water of the Bay of Saint-Tropez, this modern version of a medieval town is most popular for the line of yachts along the quai, and the facing line of terrace cafés, divided by a parade of strolling tourists and slow cruising expensive cars. We offer the best luxurious villas with swimming pool in St.Tropez for holiday rentals. Many villas are within walking distance to the popular beaches.

Behind the cafés, the small streets and old buildings are picturesque, but they're more popular for the multitude of shops and restaurants than historical significance. There are endless possibilities for buying gifts or items of proof that "you've been here". St Tropez is in the area of the Côte de Provence wines. There are several vineyards around St Tropez and nearby Gassin that offer wine tasting along with their wares.

BEACH CLUBS IN ST TROPEZ

Beach Clubs: There are a few beaches on the Baie de St. Tropez, east of town, but most are along the beautiful Baie de Pampelonne, three miles southwest of town (technically in Ramatuelle). While a few are public, you can only access the worthiest stretches by paying admission to one of the beach clubs listed here. They're fancy affairs, with facilities including restaurants, lounge chairs, changing rooms, and showers, and occasionally dance floors and open-air hot tubs. Many have live DJs (forget about peace and quiet), and each has its own personality.

Club 55
Probably the classiest and most discreet, with the choicest clientele of world politicians, Russian and Middle Eastern businessmen and, of course, Kate Moss. Sir Elton also shows up. Hugh Jackman, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were amoung those spotted here in summer 2011. The simplest possible cabin in the early 1950s, Club 55 was adopted as their canteen by the people making And God Created Woman - the Bardot movie that put St Tropez on the world stage. It has never lost its appeal among the beautiful, the powerful and the clever. To have any chance of a summer table, book ahead. Be prepared to pay extraordinary amounts of money for some pretty humble catering.

Voile Rouge
If folk in the Club 55 are talking business and maybe even signing contracts (it does happen), at the Voile Rouge they're more likely to be watching lightly-clad babes saunter the on-site catwalk - or eating shellfish from their taut, flat stomachs.
The establishment has been pretty unbridled since 1967, and shows few signs of slowing up. By day, there's a certain licence in the air. By night, it can grow distinctly frisky.

Tahiti Beach
The oldest beach club (est 1946) fronts a hotel of the same name and appeals to more mature types, in an exclusive sort of way. You can't miss it. It's right at the northern end of Pampelonne and distinguished by bright orange parasols laid out on the sands in military formation.

Les Jumeaux
A good choice for kids, not least because they have a playground with games available, and a decent children's lunch menu (from €11).

La Bouillabaisse
St. Tropez
Not far from the center of town, this quiet, sandy beach club is ideal for families with children, since it overlooks the calmer, shallower waters of the bay. The stylish restaurant is a fashionable place to dawdle over grilled fish and a chilled bottle of rosé. Open daily 10 am to 7 pm.

Nikki Beach
Plage de Pampelonne
Ramatuelle
Hangout of the same supertanned, blonde-streaked, designer-clad Euro crowd who spend winter roosting at the original Nikki Beach in Miami or the St. Barths branch. Disco music thumps away all day long, and the young rich get their kicks by spraying one another with bottles of icy bubbly. Expect men in leopard-print posing cups (think Speedos, but much, much smaller) and topless women in white cowboy hats. Open daily noon to 8 pm.

Plage des Graniers
St. Tropez. A public beach located just below the citadel that overlooks the harbor, Graniers is the best bet for those without wheels or who don't want to get stuck in the traffic jams that begin and end any day at Pampelonne. It is free, and there is a restaurant on-site.

Enjoy water sports such as wakeboarding and scuba diving. Soak up the sun alongside the famous, and the rich. The beachfront is liberally scattered with bars and restaurants. Club 55 is one of the places to be seen, drawing celebrities from across the globe. The famous and rich anchor their yachts outside the club and have their staff motor over. In the evening visit the famous Caves du Roy nightclub, located within the renowned Hotel Byblos.

In contrast, the surrounding area of St Tropez offers breathtaking scenery and beautiful countryside. Take in the beauty on horseback. Go trekking, or simply stroll along.
