Luxury villa rentals
in Saint-Tropez

Saint-Tropez needs no lengthy introduction. The village entered the collective imagination decades ago, and never left. What strikes you when you stay here is the gap between its global reputation and the human scale that still prevails.

From the colourful lanes of the centre to the endless beaches of Pampelonne, through pine-shaded estates, Saint-Tropez offers a range of atmospheres that few Mediterranean destinations can match.

At Douglas Elliman, we offer a collection of luxury villas for rent here, selected for their location, their standard and their ability to deliver a stay worthy of the Tropezian legend.

The best neighbourhoods for renting a luxury villa in Saint-Tropez

The Gulf of Saint-Tropez is vast, and every area has its own personality. The choice of neighbourhood directly shapes the experience: village life, beaches on foot or hillside retreat — the options are varied.

Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez, the pinnacle of privacy

This is the most exclusive area in the commune. Les Parcs brings together villas set on large wooded plots within a gated, secure estate, often just steps from the Salins or Graniers beach.

The atmosphere is hushed, neighbours virtually non-existent. Properties are spacious, with premium amenities and quick access to the village centre. It’s the address favoured by clients seeking absolute privacy without giving up proximity to Saint-Tropez.

Ramatuelle and the beaches of Pampelonne

Ramatuelle borders Saint-Tropez and provides access to the Riviera’s most famous beaches. Pampelonne, with its five kilometres of sand, legendary beach clubs and waterside restaurants, remains a summer fixture on the Côte d’Azur.

Villas for rent in this area are often surrounded by vines and pines, with spacious gardens and easy beach access. The atmosphere is slightly more relaxed than in the village centre, with an unashamedly Provençal feel.

Saint-Tropez centre, village life on foot

For those who want to live at the rhythm of Saint-Tropez without driving, the centre offers renovated village houses full of character. The Place des Lices and its Tuesday market, the port with its terraces, designer boutiques, galleries: everything is within a few minutes’ walk. Properties here are more compact than on the outskirts, but the charm of Tropezian village life is unmatched.

What sets our Saint-Tropez rental villas apart

The high-end rental market in Saint-Tropez is crowded. What distinguishes our approach is the selection process and the expertise behind it.

Properties with refined architecture and comprehensive amenities

The villas in our Tropezian portfolio share a common level of exigence. Heated pool, professional or semi-professional kitchen, air conditioning throughout, quality linen, reliable internet: these are the basics. Some properties also feature a spa, cinema room or indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces suited to groups.

A local team that knows every address in the gulf

The Douglas Elliman team has been based on the French Riviera for over twenty years. This deep local knowledge makes the difference when searching for your villa, we know which neighbourhoods suit which profile, and which properties truly deliver on their promise.

When you entrust your Saint-Tropez rental search to us, you benefit from genuine local expertise, not just an online catalogue.

Saint-Tropez through the seasons

Saint-Tropez lives at two speeds. Summer is intense, vibrant, glamorous. The rest of the year, the village becomes a quiet, endearing Provençal port again. Both sides have their appeal.

The Tropezian summer, between buzz and dolce vita

From mid-June to mid-September, Saint-Tropez runs at full tilt. Pampelonne beaches are packed, the evenings roll on, the port glitters. It’s the highest-demand period for rental, with two-week minimums and peak rates. To secure access to the best villas, you need to plan ahead: ideally four to six months before summer begins.

The off-season, a more intimate Saint-Tropez

In May, September or October, Saint-Tropez finds a more local rhythm. The Place des Lices market is still in full swing, restaurants remain open, and the sea is swimmable well into October.

It’s the ideal time for those who want to enjoy the setting without the crowds. Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, in late September, also offer a magnificent spectacle from the terraces of villas overlooking the bay.

FAQ

What budget should I expect for a luxury villa in Saint-Tropez?

In peak season, rates start at around €20,000 to €45,000 per week for very high-standing villas. For the most exclusive properties, particularly in Les Parcs or by the sea, budgets can go well above that. We invite you to contact us for an accurate estimate based on your dates and criteria.

How do I get to Saint-Tropez?

The nearest airport is Toulon-Hyères, around one hour’s drive away. Nice airport is slightly further (around 1h30) but offers more international connections. La Môle airfield, about fifteen minutes from the village, handles private flights. In season, ferry shuttles also connect Sainte-Maxime to Saint-Tropez, which helps avoid road traffic.

Can I rent a villa in Saint-Tropez for a large group or event?

Several of our properties in the gulf can accommodate groups of fifteen to twenty people, or more. Some are also well suited to hosting private dinners, birthdays or small receptions.
