Hôtel L'Épi 1959

L’Épi is one of the few hotels on the Saint-Tropez peninsula to be located on Pampelonne beach. Located in the heart of the eponymous bay, L’Épi has been part of Saint-Tropez legend since the 1950s. Founded by Jean Castel, the establishment is at the genesis of Tropezian glamour, and is proud to have welcomed icons such as Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Alain Delon and Madonna, making it a sanctuary for jet-setters and international celebrities from the worlds of culture, cinema and business. Here, they can indulge their need for discretion, while enjoying an unspoilt natural setting and personalized services.

Since its renovation by Monica Damonte and Madison Cox, L’Épi has preserved its authenticity while integrating modern elements. The McCourt family, owners since 2018, have ensured that every detail contributes to an atmosphere of unpretentious luxury.
In keeping with this DNA of Pampelonne paradise, Aliaume Margeon, Maitre de Maison, and his 65-strong team welcome travelers to nine luxurious bungalows, which include the services and amenities of excellence expected at this level of hospitality, such as 24-hour room service or private outdoor rain shower.

With two tennis courts sponsored by John McEnroe, and a yoga deck facing the sea, the hotel offers an array of activities for a stay under the sign of Wellness. In addition to its state-of-the-art facilities, it offers privileged access to a variety of outdoor activities such as water sports, electric mountain bikes and guided hikes along the mythical coastal path. Guests can also take advantage of the Saint-Tropez Golf Club, an 18-hole course designed by Gary Player. Back at the hotel, L’Épi’s two 21-meters swimming pools and its spa, which offers exclusive treatments in partnership with the Biologique Recherche brand, ensure the ultimate wellness experience.
Through this holistic philosophy, the establishment delivers on the promise of a multi-sensory experience. The culinary experience is in harmony with this approach, and is provided by Chef Paolo Amadori, who offers refined Italian cuisine that has been acclaimed in Ramatuelle and beyond.

What’s more, the hotel enjoys a fabulous location for enjoying the festive face of Pampelonne’s beaches. Nikki Beach is just a few seconds’ walk away, while Gigi is just a few minutes away. The heart of Saint-Tropez village is also within easy reach, with courtesy cars available. Finally, at L’Épi, all is luxury, including arrival, which can be done in style, by taking advantage of a drop-off at the nearby helipad, or in elegance, by disembarking by boat on the pontoon facing the property.

More than just a hotel, L’Épi is a place where history meets contemporary luxury, offering an unrivalled getaway in Saint-Tropez. Whether as a couple, with family or friends, L’Épi promises total immersion in the Tropezian art de vivre, combining relaxation, elegance and exclusivity.
