If you want to combine your St Tropez yacht charter with a stay on land, you can expect impeccable service at a number of chic getaways in Saint Tropez. Five-star Hôtel Byblos is unashamedly famous and has a fantastic location close to Saint Tropez’s best shopping; don’t miss sipping a drink around the pool before a night dancing at Les Caves du Roy. This year sees them celebrate their 50th anniversary so expect lots of glamorous events and sumptuous festivities.

Pan Deï Palais offers a place of serenity in the midst of Saint Tropez; think Provençal villa decorated with exotic kilims, Balinese daybeds and Asian statues. The mosaic swimming pool is a refreshing place for a dip ashore and the lounge bar is a refined place for an apéritif.

Away from the heart of the Old Town, Muse Saint Tropez in Ramatuelle is a tranquil retreat with just 14 Suites – many with private plunge pools – and they provide complimentary shuttle transport for guests to the beach. Set in 25 acres of manicured gardens, Château de la Messardière may be Saint Tropez’s largest hotel but it exudes five-star elegance with bars, an art gallery, Spa and gourmet restaurant.

Having your own private chef on board your charter yacht to create tailored menus is a true journey into luxury, but for those times when you opt to dine ashore there are a myriad of restaurants to please your palate. The old port of St Tropez is fantastic for people-watching at the portside restaurants!

Stop into L’Escale for lunch, if the sandy floors don’t catch your attention as you stroll along the quayside then their seafood platter will. Alternatively, Le Girelier is another good choice with superbly cooked sea bass.

Bypass the queues for the tables at red awning hotspot Sénéquier and head through the archway beside the Office de Tourisme – there, you will find Chez Madeleine tucked in behind the port on tiny Place aux Herbes. Chez Madeleine is a Saint Tropez institution, this family-run eatery is an unpretentious local favourite with cabinets of fresh seafood – try their ceviche or freshly shucked oysters with a chilled glass of wine.

After a meal harbourside, head to Barbarac for an artisan ice cream or sorbet where you can select from a huge range of flavours including Sicilian pistachio, citron vert or salted caramel.

For a pre-dinner drink, we recommend the sun deck at Hôtel Ermitage, a 19th century villa that has been transformed into a boutique hotel with vintage furniture. A sundowner here is one of Saint Tropez’s best secrets as dusk falls over the town rooftops.

Les Toits Lounge at Hôtel de Paris Saint Tropez is another pleasurable rooftop drinking spot with a birds-eye view over the port, Bay of St Tropez and town. The stylish crowd can be found lounging at White 1921; who would want to leave from a garden bar with DJ and fabulous Champagne Mojitos?

For the finest Champagne and cocktails, dress to impress to join the crowds at two of the most famous clubs in town, Les Caves du Roy at Hôtel Byblos and Papagayo. Expect A-listers, celebrities and the occasional supermodel with Champagne flowing to tunes from top DJ’s.

St Tropez yacht charter guests looking to get decadent rightfully go to Pampelonne Beach in summer, where superyacht tenders and the water taxis from the beach clubs yo-yo between the yachts at anchor and the glorious white sands. Head to Nikki Beach for unabashed Champagne spraying around the pool, Tahiti Beach for excellent cocktails, Bagatelle for a fashionable lunch or Club 55, one of Bespoke Yacht Charter’s top picks where you can’t beat the fresh grilled fish, crudités and chilled rosé.
