AREV St. Tropez offers a refreshing take on Riviera luxury — where elegant hospitality meets the playful energy of sport.

From sun-drenched afternoons by the pool to lively matches under the floodlit courts, AREV captures the effortless spirit of Saint-Tropez.

Riviera elegance with a sporting spirit

In a town celebrated for its beach clubs, superyachts, and legendary nightlife, AREV St. Tropez offers something refreshingly different. Tucked away within fragrant Mediterranean gardens just minutes from the heart of the village, this boutique retreat blends the timeless glamour of the French Riviera with a relaxed, social atmosphere that feels more like a private members’ residence than a traditional hotel.

Designed as a place where guests can slow down and reconnect with the pleasures of the Côte d’Azur lifestyle, AREV balances refined hospitality with playful energy. The property feels intentionally intimate, with shaded pathways, vibrant interiors, and open-air social spaces that encourage guests to linger a little longer than planned.

Whether enjoying a long afternoon by the pool, sharing cocktails beneath olive trees, or stepping onto the courts for a friendly match, the hotel invites a rhythm of living that feels effortlessly Tropezian. Here, days unfold slowly beneath the Mediterranean sun, before easing into elegant evenings where conversation, music, and the quiet magic of the Riviera take centre stage.

  • Though intimate in scale, AREV St. Tropez offers a thoughtfully curated collection of facilities designed to elevate every aspect of a stay. At the heart of the property lies the main pool, framed by lush greenery and elegant loungers that invite long, sun-soaked afternoons beneath the Mediterranean sky.

    The wellness offering includes a serene spa with treatment rooms, hammam, and a fully equipped fitness studio for guests looking to maintain their routine while away. For those with a sporting inclination, the hotel’s padel and tennis courts provide a social centrepiece to the property — a place where friendly competition and Riviera leisure blend seamlessly.

    Elsewhere, beautifully landscaped gardens, shaded terraces, and relaxed lounge spaces ensure there is always a quiet corner to retreat to between moments of activity.

  • AREV captures the spirit of Saint-Tropez at its most elegant and understated. Rather than leaning into the extravagance often associated with the town, the hotel embraces a more intimate and residential feel.

    Guests arrive not to a traditional reception desk but to a welcoming salon-style space, immediately setting the tone for a stay that feels personal and relaxed. Interiors feature bold Riviera colours, nautical accents, and carefully selected artwork that evoke the golden age of the Côte d’Azur.

    Outside, bougainvillea climbs sun-washed walls while olive trees cast long shadows across the gardens. The atmosphere is effortlessly sociable yet never overwhelming — a setting where conversation flows easily, afternoons stretch comfortably into evenings, and the rhythm of the Riviera takes over.

  • Refreshments at AREV revolve around the pleasures of Mediterranean living. Poolside service delivers chilled rosé, fresh juices, and light bites throughout the day, perfect for those leisurely afternoons spent beneath the sun.

    Dining moves effortlessly from casual daytime fare to more refined evening experiences, with menus celebrating seasonal ingredients from Provence and the surrounding coastline. Guests can expect vibrant salads, freshly caught seafood, and dishes that capture the simple elegance of southern French cuisine.

    As dusk settles over the gardens, the energy shifts. Aperitifs appear, candles flicker, and the gentle hum of conversation transforms the space into one of Saint-Tropez’s most charming evening settings.

  • Zebra Negroni - a citrusy riff on the classic.

  • What truly sets AREV apart is its team. Service here feels instinctive rather than formal, with staff delivering a level of hospitality that is warm, attentive, and deeply personal.

    Many team members are passionate about the local culture and lifestyle, often sharing recommendations for hidden beaches, nearby vineyards, or the best early-morning markets in town. The result is an experience that feels less like staying at a hotel and more like being welcomed into a beautifully run private residence.

  • Set within the hotel’s lush grounds, the courts provide an inviting space for both casual games and more competitive sessions. Whether enjoyed in the soft morning light or during the cooler hours of late afternoon, they offer a refreshing contrast to the more relaxed pace of poolside living. As the sun sets over Saint-Tropez, the courts come alive once again under the glow of the night lights, allowing matches and rallies to continue long into the Riviera evening. But be warned: if you happen to crown yourself the new King or Queen of the court, you may find yourself heading straight to Q’s Bar afterwards to console a few sore losers.

  • For guests looking to refine their technique, professional coaching sessions are available with experienced instructors who bring both expertise and enthusiasm to the court.

    Sessions cater to players of all levels — from beginners discovering the sport for the first time to seasoned players seeking to sharpen their skills. The emphasis remains on enjoyment and improvement, ensuring every session feels engaging and rewarding.

  • On court, the atmosphere mirrors the spirit of the hotel itself: relaxed, sociable, and quietly competitive. Friendly matches unfold between guests, laughter carries across the gardens, and the occasional post-game drink quickly becomes part of the ritual.

    It is not unusual for spontaneous tournaments or social matches to emerge, adding an element of playful energy to the resort’s otherwise tranquil environment.
