The 10 Best Luxury Hotels in the French Riviera - AFAR

"Perched on a hill above Saint-Tropez, this 19th-century château feels like a private estate with 360-degree Mediterranean views, jasmine-scented gardens, multiple shimmering pools, tennis courts, and a marble-clad Valmont spa. Dining options are a highlight, from a staggering lunch buffet with pastries by Cédric Grolet to Nobu Matsuhisa’s Japanese-Latin offerings and Mediterranean cuisine at a beach club overseen by Jean-François Piège (transfers to the beach club are by Rolls‑Royce). Families are especially well served by an acclaimed kids program—Airelles Summer Camp—which ferries children by miniature train to extensive facilities including a LEGO room, art studio, petting zoo, tree house, and teen arcade, making it one of the Riviera’s top family destinations." - Mary Winston Nicklin
