After nearly a decade behind closed gates, Le Beauvallon is back—and more exclusive than ever. The legendary Belle Époque palace overlooking the Bay of Saint-Tropez will welcome individual guest stays for the first time in years, marking a striking transition from private event venue to luxury hotel.
Set within 10 acres of lush gardens and terraces lined with palms and umbrella pines, the property offers a rare blend of seclusion and Riviera glamour. Its 25 sea-facing suites are now open for reservations from July 1 through Oct. 31, 2025—perfect for last-minute summer escapes with yacht access via a private pontoon and proximity to the Golf Club de Beauvallon. Saint-Tropez is just eight minutes away by boat, but the atmosphere at Le Beauvallon is its own brand of timeless coastal elegance.

The seasonal opening represents the first phase of a larger transformation: Next year, Le Beauvallon will officially become COMO Le Beauvallon. The storied hotel will join COMO Hotels & Resorts’ global portfolio of design-forward destinations, which includes urban landmarks in Mayfair and alpine retreats in the Dolomites. The family-owned luxury brand, founded by Christina Ong, is known for intuitive service, immersive wellness experiences, and its partnership with some of the world’s most acclaimed culinary talents.
“When we open COMO Le Beauvallon in 2026, it will be a key milestone for the brand to operate in one of the most exclusive destinations in the world,” said COMO CEO Olivier Jolivet.
For now, guests can preview the brand’s vision at the newly revamped beach club, home to a culinary concept that fuses Asian and Mediterranean flavors, served seaside with panoramic views of the bay. In 2026, French chef Yannick Alléno, whose establishments have earned a total of 17 Michelin stars, will spearhead a new gastronomic direction for the hotel.
With its storied past and a bold new future underway, Le Beauvallon is set to reestablish itself as the Côte d’Azur’s most coveted address.
