La Tartane: Hotel in Saint Tropez

La Tartane Saint-Tropez: The Bohemian Soul of the Riviera

On the Route des Salins, between the Pampelonne beaches and the village of Saint-Tropez, La Tartane enjoys an idyllic location and cultivates the art of discretion. Here, nature reigns supreme: a lush garden of lemon trees, lavender-lined paths, parasols shaded by century-old pines… Every corner seems bathed in the gentle Southern light. The ambiance evokes a sleepy Provençal village under the sun, infused with tranquility and intimacy.

Once a traditional Tropezian home, La Tartane has been reimagined by Jordane Arrivetz, founder of the Notoire agency, who infused the space with the spirit of a chic and relaxed family house. Known for her work on Le Nuage in Paris and Jardin Tropézina in Saint-Tropez, she has created a sensory retreat with retro accents. Owned by passionate lovers of the art of living, the hotel is a tribute to the French Riviera of the 1950s to 1980s, echoing the Café Society era and artistic inspirations. La Tartane is not just a hotel: it is a place of memories and emotion.

Designed like a small hamlet, this five-star hotel features charming cottages nestled in a lush garden, resembling a refined Provençal village. Custom-made furniture, wooden benches, rattan headboards, travertine tables, and brass lighting fixtures create a naturally radiant harmony. Hand-painted frescoes by Brazilian artist João Incerti bring a distinctive artistic touch — dreamlike and Riviera-inspired. Raw materials meet discreet sophistication in a subtle balance where every detail is crafted to awaken the senses.

La Tartane offers 27 rooms and suites spread across six pavilions named after cultural icons: Hemingway, Chanel, Picasso, Guggenheim, Fitzgerald… A nod to the Riviera’s artistic golden age. From cozy retreats for two to duplex suites with private terraces, each accommodation opens directly onto the garden. Soft tones — almond green, powder pink, sunny yellow — pair with whitewashed beams and aged wooden floors. The bathrooms, clad in gray marble and white tiles, recall vintage plunge pools with scalloped mirrors and ceramic sconces.

The heart of the hotel? The Saint-Amour restaurant, an open-air space under a reed pergola overlooking the garden. Mediterranean cuisine is served during the day — fried calamari, truffle croque, tarte tropézienne — in a chic beach club atmosphere. At night, Chef Maître Koy, a local gastronomic icon, takes over with Asian flavors: shrimp tempura, marinated wagyu beef, or coconut-mango soup make for an inspired and festive menu. The bar, adorned with unique frescoes, celebrates the garden’s citrus fruits through refreshing cocktails.

La Tartane also boasts a large swimming pool lined with wavy wooden daybeds and fringed parasols — an invitation to bask beneath the cypress trees. Yoga on request, massages, spa treatments, fitness classes — everything is designed to embrace the present moment. A pétanque court adds a touch of timeless Provence. Transfers, room service until dawn, and attention to detail ensure seamless and discreet service.

At La Tartane, you experience Saint-Tropez differently. Far from the noise, close to the heart. Between a glorified past and a vibrant present, this bohemian refuge invites you to slow down, breathe, and savor the true sweetness of the South.
