COMO Le Beauvallon: Historic 1914 Belle Époque palace estate on the Bay of Saint-Tropez across 10 private acres with private beach club and pool

Commanding a breathtaking position along the azure waters of the Bay of Saint-Tropez in Grimaud on the French Riviera, France, Le Beauvallon (COMO Le Beauvallon) opened in 1914 as one of the Côte d’Azur’s most celebrated Belle Époque palace estates. Spanning 10 private acres of century-old maritime pines, palm trees, and fragrant Mediterranean gardens directly facing Saint-Tropez, the 25-suite private palace has hosted European aristocracy, literary icons, and artists for over a century. Featuring the private Beach Club with its heated outdoor swimming pool cantilevered over the sea, private pontoon dock for boat arrivals, Provencal dining, and holistic wellness suites, this property is the French Riviera’s premier private palace retreat.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished 1914 Belle Époque Riviera aristocracy: personal hosts greet guests beneath the grand rotunda portico beside marble statues with chilled Côtes de Provence rosé, cold scented towels, and panoramic views across the bay to the bell tower of Saint-Tropez. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Riviera nautical, beach, and cultural pursuits: taking private wooden boat transfers across the bay directly into the port of Saint-Tropez (8 minutes by boat), relaxing on private sun loungers at the Beach Club, swimming in the heated outdoor pool over the sea, playing tennis on the private court, indulging in Mediterranean wellness therapies, and reserving sunset dinner on the palace terrace.

Estate living balances Riviera glamour with peaceful private park wellness: the wellness facilities feature private treatment suites, sauna, steam room, and therapies utilizing organic Mediterranean botanicals, lavender, and marine minerals. Dining is extraordinary: refined Provencal and French Riviera gastronomy (featuring fresh caught Mediterranean sea bass, ratatouille, local lamb, and Provence Grand Crus), poolside lunch at the Beach Club, and sunset cocktails on the panoramic terrace.

Accommodations comprise 25 palatial suites styled in elegant Belle Époque and contemporary French decor ranging from 45 to 160 square metres. Each residence features high ceilings, private balconies directly framing the Bay of Saint-Tropez and the sea, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep clawfoot soaking bathtubs.

Palace purists, boaters, and luxury travelers seeking 1914 Belle Époque majesty, 10-acre private park seclusion, and private beach club access on the Bay of Saint-Tropez should book Le Beauvallon without hesitation. Travelers seeking generic mass-market tourist blocks should look elsewhere.
