5 Must-Visit Private Beach Clubs in Saint‑Tropez
Summer in Saint-Tropez is not just about luxurious villas and scenic hilltops, it’s also about experiencing the French Riviera lifestyle with your feet in the sand. The private beach clubs of Pampelonne and Ramatuelle are more than just places to swim; they are destinations in their own right, where food, music, design, and atmosphere come together to create unforgettable days by the sea.
At CS Villas, we provide our guests with privileged access to the most exclusive beach clubs in Saint-Tropez, complete with table reservations, private lounges, and seamless transfers. Here is our curated list of the top five to discover this summer.
I. The Most Iconic Private Beaches in Saint-Tropez
A. Club 55: The timeless Riviera institution
A Saint-Tropez legend since the 1950s, Club 55 remains one of the most iconic beach clubs on the Riviera. Located on Pampelonne Beach, its understated elegance, rustic wooden décor, and laid-back spirit attract artists, fashion insiders, and celebrities alike.
Here, lunch under the tamarisk trees is a ritual: market-fresh vegetables, grilled fish, and a glass of chilled rosé, all served with effortless charm. Booking in advance is essential, and CS Villas guests enjoy VIP access to the best tables.
B. Loulou Ramatuelle: Bohemian elegance by the sea
An extension of Parisian elegance with a Mediterranean soul, Loulou Ramatuelle combines 1970s glamour with relaxed boho chic. Think striped parasols, terracotta linens, and a soft soundtrack that flows from lunch through aperitif hour.
The cuisine is light and seasonal, with Italian and Provençal touches. Loulou is ideal for guests seeking refined ambiance without overstatement, a place to enjoy long lunches, sea views, and a curated crowd.
C. Shellona: Greek island vibes on Pampelonne
Shellona transports you straight to the Aegean with its whitewashed décor, natural textures, and fresh Greek-Mediterranean cuisine. Tucked away on the quieter stretch of Pampelonne, it’s a favorite for those who want a peaceful and stylish escape.
Expect grilled octopus, seasonal mezze, and rosé under billowing white canopies. The atmosphere is serene, but the service and crowd remain effortlessly chic.
D. Verde Beach: Sunset and celebration in style
If you're seeking a lively yet luxurious beach experience, Verde Beach is the place to be. This beach club comes alive in the late afternoon with DJ sets, sunset toasts, and a festive Riviera energy that still feels elevated and elegant.
The décor blends Riviera minimalism with natural elements, and the menu mixes international influences with Mediterranean flair. Perfect for those who enjoy music, movement, and a hint of celebration in their beach day.

E. La Réserve à la Plage: Discreet luxury by Starck
Created by designer Philippe Starck for the prestigious La Réserve Ramatuelle, this beach club is a minimalist haven for those who value tranquility and refinement. It reflects the same level of service, discretion, and attention to detail as its five-star hotel counterpart.
Set away from the crowd, La Réserve à la Plage offers a curated menu by Michelin-starred chef Eric Canino, a serene atmosphere, and exclusive ambiance. Ideal for those who prefer understated luxury and a serene setting.
II. Curated Access with CS Villas Concierge
A. A Seamless Beach Experience, Tailored to You
At CS Villas, we understand that the real luxury lies in the details, the comfort of arriving at your sunbed without a wait, the ease of having a chilled bottle of rosé ready upon arrival, or the pleasure of securing the most coveted table for lunch at Club 55 or La Réserve. That’s why our concierge service doesn’t just make bookings, we craft moments.
Every beach day is thoughtfully prepared based on your preferences, whether you seek tranquil mornings by the sea, a lively lunch with friends, or a sunset apéritif with DJ sets and sea views. Our insider connections ensure access to beach clubs where reservations are notoriously exclusive even in peak season.
From the selection of your ideal beach club to coordinating arrival times, valet services, and even preferred menus, we handle it all with the discretion and precision you expect from CS Villas.
B. More Than Reservation, a Riviera Lifestyle, Curated
Your summer in Saint-Tropez should unfold effortlessly, like a perfectly choreographed ballet. That’s where our team steps in not just as service providers, but as trusted lifestyle curators who anticipate and elevate every moment.
Want to start your day with a wellness session on the beach, followed by a yacht pick-up from Pampelonne for a cruise around the Cap Taillat? Prefer a quiet cove lunch by boat, far from the crowds? Our concierge team works seamlessly with skippers, chefs, and local experts to make it happen.
We also coordinate in-villa beach-day preparations: baskets packed with gourmet snacks, chilled drinks, fresh towels, sunscreen essentials, and even beach games for families. Every detail is tailored, so you don’t need to think twice.
C. Discreet, Elevated, Effortless
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to invisible luxury, the kind that feels instinctive and effortless. Our team remains on call to adapt to your changing mood or schedule, whether that means rebooking lunch due to weather or organizing a last-minute beachside celebration.
Because with CS Villas, you’re not just experiencing Saint-Tropez, you’re experiencing it as an insider, with a team that opens doors others can’t, and that knows how to keep things elegantly behind the scenes.
