Hôtel Les Jardins de Sainte-Maxime

Situated across the bay from Saint-Tropez, Les Jardins de Sainte-Maxime holds fifty to one hundred fifty guests in a property where gardens precede the building. Flower beds are mounded and mulched; borders are edged with tile. A labyrinth of gravel paths enforces pace. Room decor matches garden color palettes—greens and soft purples dominate. The kitchen grows herbs in small plots adjacent to its entrance. Views across the water to Saint-Tropez are marketed as exclusive; they are in fact common to the region.
