Overview
Here, everything revolves around the precise location. You find yourself at the entrance of Saint-Tropez, with La Bouillabaisse just 152 metres away and La Vague d’Or a mere 17 metres from your doorstep.
Few establishments boast both the Atout France Palace status and such a clear understanding of their surroundings. This is not a village hotel caught up in the hustle and bustle of the port.
It is a venue perfectly positioned between the sand, the arrival road, and the horizon of the Maures massif. The coordinates 43.266579 and 6.626473 convey a simple message: you are sleeping on the edge of the town, not in its centre.
Nearby, the name of Arnaud Donckele places the locality within a very specific gastronomic geography. La Bouillabaisse, a gentle boundary between Saint-Tropez and Gassin, remains one of the few shores where one can still appreciate the gulf without forced embellishments.
It is this contrast that matters here. A Palace, nestled against a pine forest and open to a fringe beach. For a regular visitor to the peninsula, this nuance makes all the difference upon arrival.

Wellness & Spa
At La Résidence de la Pinède, wellness is embodied in a spa designed by Holidermie. The venue extends the spirit of Saint-Tropez with a clear, sensory approach that is understated.
The Spa by Holidermie is based on the protocols of the partner brand. The menu features targeted treatments alongside more enveloping therapies. Options include scalp massages, facial massages, back massages, and full-body massages, all of which can be tailored to individual preferences. Additional offerings include foot massages, body scrubs, and body wraps, complemented by makeup services.
The hammam provides a warm, humid retreat, ideal for muscle relaxation and skin preparation before treatments. The heated pool extends this leisurely experience in a more open and luminous setting.
The overall experience prioritises a straightforward interpretation of wellness. Textures, hands, warmth, and water come together here; the spa does not seek to impress but rather harmonises with the rhythm of your stay, balancing discreet recovery with a gentle reactivation.
