Set high above the Mediterranean, La Réserve Ramatuelle feels worlds away from the crowds in Saint-Tropez, with panaromic sea views from its hillside setting. Designed for the contemporary traveller who values space, privacy, and a sense of calm, it is a place where the days can pass almost entirely between the pool and the surrounding Provençal landscape. When the mood takes you, head down to La Réserve à la Plage on Pampelonne for a change of scenery – the hotel's own beach club. Come evening, make your way up to La Muña, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, for Japanese-Peruvian cuisine as the sun disappears over the Mediterranean.

The hotel is also particularly appealing outside the height of summer – although it is worth noting that the hotel itself is currently seasonal, open from May to October. Even at the height of the season, its elevated position and understated atmosphere make it feel wonderfully removed from the Saint-Tropez scene below.
