La Reserve Details

Location

Just ten minutes from the legendary village of Saint-Tropez and overlooking the Mediterranean, the hotel is a perfect way to savour the pleasures of the Côte d’Azur. Located on a gently breezy hillside, the resort is like a secret garden with panoramic  views of the sea, and far removed form the bustle of the fast moving world. Heavenly scented, around every corner there is the smell of soothing French lavender or native pine.

Transfer Time - 1hr 30 mins from Nice Airport (private transfer)

Rooms

7 stylish rooms and 16 spacious suites range from 50 to 100sqm, each with its own south-facing terrace or fragrant garden… all in a tête à tête with the sea for an enchanting, endless view. Winner of the Wallpaper 2011 Award for the Best New Hotel, rooms at La Reserve don't disappoint.

Food

The Mediterranean-inspired cuisine exalts the flavours of the South through high quality, mainly local ingredients, chosen daily with care. Subtle aromas, colours and textures intertwine, with delights such as steamed fresh fish perfumed with thyme and roasted lobster with lemon flower. The kitchen team will take your needs and goals into account to make sure even the most calorie-conscious is served delicious meals, from breakfast to dinner...

Fitness and Daily Activities

If you still have energy to burn after all that walking and fresh salty air, there are approximately four daily complimentary classes to sample - choose from Pilates, body awareness, yoga, cardio, aqua-energy and healthy cooking classes. There is a fully equipped gym, and an indoor and outdoor swimming pool - one long enough for swimming lengths to maximise fitness.

Insider Tips

• Take a walk down the hillside path to the rugged, unspoilt beach cove; take in the little boats bobbing up and down and listen to the sea
• If you feel the need for an alcoholic tipple, treat yourself to a signature cocktail;  a lavender and cranberry mojito.  Just the one though...

Wellness Approach

• Luxury and discretion reign in a refined, stylish setting. The contemporary La Réserve Ramatuelle Spa offers a complete approach based on a full understanding of how each individual functions. By mobilizing complementary prevention strategies in the areas of wellbeing and health, their goal is to suggest long-term lifestyle improvements, for a greater quality of life. Creme de la Mer products feature in a selection of treatments within their spa menu; luxury, quality and results at every turn.

Freestyle Spa

• An exceptional white, light space; 11 treatment rooms, crème de la Mer treatments, indoor and outdoor pool, steam room, fitness room and a personal coach on demand. Plus the Mediterranean sea with all its benefits stretched out before you.

Signature Treatment

La Réserve “Better Aging” body treatment: Based on a specific protocol established by their health care experts, this detoxifying, slimming and draining treatment targets all the muscle and energy routes. Using a lympho-drainage device in an 80-min treatment, it helps the body eliminate blockages and tension, and helps boost cellular regeneration.

We Love

• Contemporary, light and airy massage rooms that look out across the sea - take in the stunning coastal views and feel the quality of the Mediterranean light on your body.
• The feeling of privacy and space in the property - even when it's full, the clever design makes you feel like a welcome guest at a friend's chic villa
• The La Réserve chill-out music CD - so you can take a piece of relaxation home with you
• The complimentary shuttle transfers to Saint Tropez and the nearby, pine-scented beaches - a quick hop and you're there
