The Château de Valmer is a five-star hotel located in La Croix Valmer, near St-Tropez. Beyond being a quality establishment with a swimming pool and a private beach, the Château de Valmer has a unique feature that makes it very attractive, especially if you enjoy romantic evenings away from the crowds and hustle and bustle. The hotel indeed offers residences, of which... The Treehouse. This one is located in the heart of the vineyards, surrounded by nature and hidden from the view of other residents.

In the evening, after dinner, let the small lights guide you to your cabin. Climb the few steps that will lead you to your haven of tranquility: your cabin opens into a bedroom crossed by the trunk of the tree that welcomes you and a small bathroom. How can you not be captivated by an atmosphere steeped in calm and serenity?.

The Château de Valmer cabin features a bed, a small desk, and a bathroom with a shower. You are perfectly set up to fully enjoy your time. The cabin has a large terrace where you can relax in complete privacy or request to have your breakfast served.

Beyond decoration or comfort, the main asset of the Château de Valmer treehouse lies in the tree that welcomes you. Wake up to the sound of birds and let yourself be transported by this feeling of peace... you are far from the world.

In a nutshell

  • A magical place for a romantic night.
  • A luxury cabin with a bathtub!
  • You also benefit from the hotel's facilities.

Restaurant La Palmeraie

You're on the French Riviera, so it's safe to say that as soon as the good weather arrives, it becomes very difficult to get around, and even more so to park. For dinner, and to fully enjoy your cabin, we recommend trying the hotel restaurant, La Palmeraie. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the dishes served feature plenty of local produce and vegetables from the garden.

With the kids

The cabin is designed for a romantic getaway, but there's nothing stopping you from booking a family stay at the hotel to enjoy the pools and spa. You'll also have access to a private beach, which is a real plus on the French Riviera.

Inspiration

Shopping
If you have the courage, head to Saint-Tropez for a shopping spree with the stars.

Out for a walk
Le Lavandou, Pampelonne, and of course, Saint-Tropez are very close by. Off-season, take advantage of your stay to discover the coastal islands. In the heart of summer, it's best to focus on the hotel's private beach, the pool, and the hotel's surroundings, as traffic is heavy.

Zen
Château de Valmer features a spa with a jacuzzi pool, sauna-steam room, fitness room, and a relaxation lounge. Numerous treatments are available. To stay zen, relax on the terrace of your cabin.

In the suitcase
Reading, a swimsuit, sunscreen in the summer, and pretty much nothing else. Try at all costs to forget your mobile phone before you leave.

Rediscover Pagnol if you feel like it, or Giono. Maxence Fermine is also perfectly suited to the location.
