Above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez in Grimaud, COMO Le Beauvallon revives a 1914 Belle Époque palace surrounded by ten acres of palms, umbrella pines and terraced gardens. Its 42 rooms and sea-facing suites are shaped by Riviera light, contemporary art and broad terraces overlooking the bay. A 25-metre pool, COMO Shambhala wellness spaces and Beauvallon Sur Mer beach club structure days between garden and water, while Yannick Alléno directs the hotel’s Mediterranean dining. A private pontoon serves yacht tenders and the hotel’s eight-minute boat transfer to Saint-Tropez, leaving the red façade quietly set back among the trees.
