AREV Saint-Tropez: the new must-see confidential vacation home
Just a stone’s throw from Place des Lices, AREV Saint-Tropez stands out as an address in a class of its own. Neither a flashy palace nor an over-zealous boutique hotel, this discreet establishment reinvents summer hospitality with style.
In a Saint-Tropez saturated with “Instagrammable” places and calibrated atmospheres, AREV Saint-Tropez stands out. Or rather, it soothes. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle in a small street, 8 chemin des Vendanges, this discreet refuge of 35 rooms and suites is a sanctuary for visiting aesthetes. No ostentation here, but quiet elegance, thought through to the smallest detail.
A summer house designed by Luis Bustamante
Right from the entrance, the tone is set: no marbled lobby, but a hushed living room, like a friend’s home. Interior designer Luis Bustamante blends contemporary lines, raw materials and Mediterranean touches. The whole exudes balance, between bold graphics and Provencal warmth. The result: a hotel on a human scale that gives the impression of a well-kept secret.
Each room is designed as an intimate bubble. Some open onto flower-filled gardens, others onto the three-meter-deep swimming pool, perfect for long summer laps. Far from hotel standards, this is a home away from home. Nothing excessive, everything just right.
A hotel of the moment
At The Strand restaurant, the menu draws on Mediterranean cuisine without taking the easy way out. Products are local and fresh, and the cuisine oscillates between lightness and generosity. The bar stands out for its precise yet relaxed mixology, to be enjoyed poolside or under the olive trees. In the evening, Q’s Bar comes alive with acoustic live sets, perfect for prolonging the evening without excess.
Morning yoga among the cypress trees, followed by a game of padel on the private court, or a treatment at the AREV x Maison ST Spa, designed as a veritable sanctuary. The discreet yet fluid service anticipates every desire: transfers in a vintage Mehari, confidential reservations, impromptu marine excursions… The experience is calibrated but never formatted.
Luxury as a sign of withdrawal
In a world saturated with concept hotels, AREV Saint-Tropez stands for something else: calm, sensory, intelligent luxury. Here, the aim is not to impress, but to leave a memorable impression. A place to experience as much as to feel, just a few hours from Paris – but a world away from the hustle and bustle.
