Set above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, COMO Le Beauvallon brings a Riviera landmark back into service with the measured polish that COMO tends to favour. The setting is part Belle Époque relic, part Mediterranean hideaway: ten acres of gardens and terraces, a private pontoon, a pool, and a short boat transfer across the bay to Saint-Tropez. The hotel’s 42 rooms and suites look toward either the water or the Provençal hills, with a calm, residential feel rather than a showy resort mood. Dining is a central part of the story, with Yannick Alléno shaping the culinary direction and the property pitched as a quiet base for coastal walks, yacht watching, and slow days on the French Riviera.
