Sticking around Pampelonne Beach, we also have the buzzing atmosphere at Nikki Beach.

Once again, a haven for the world’s coolest and largest luxury yachts the daunting cliff faces create a secluded place to enjoy a relaxing extended lunch and enjoy the crystal clear waters.

Back in St Tropez, Nioulargo has very different offerings to any beach club on the Riviera coastline.

A truly invigorating and relaxing experience! Eden Plage Mala sits just before Cap d’Ail on the way to Monaco.
