MUSE Saint-Tropez

Stepping inside MUSE Saint-Tropez is like entering a small piece of paradise. Its beautiful gardens are wonderfully peaceful. The spa treatments will leave you feeling on cloud nine, while the clean lines and cool palette, inside and out, ooze refinement. This boutique hotel will have you slipping into holiday mode the second you arrive.

Who needs Brigitte Bardot’s beach when you have a pool like this? Fringed by white-curtained cabanas, you can even dip your toes in the water from your luxury lounger. Afterward, find a shady spot in the tranquil gardens. All that fresh air will set you up for an evening of stripped back fine dining in M, and having an elegant suite to retire to at the end of it all is sheer bliss.

You’ll have a beach bag in your suite, kitted out with sunglasses and towels. So it’s just a case of calling on the hotel shuttle to take you to Saint-Tropez’s jet-set-style shores. You could hop on one of the MUSE bicycles for a ride through French scenery. Or, if it’s a staying indoors sort of day, iPads, games consoles and plasma screens in your room will keep you occupied.
