Hôtel Byblos sits in the village with no sea access of its own — its beach, on Pampelonne, is where the water taxi actually lands you.
Hôtel Byblos itself sits in the village of Saint-Tropez, up the hill from the water, with no beach of its own. Byblos Beach, on Boulevard Patch at Pampelonne, is what the hotel calls its own beach extension — and it's the beach a water taxi actually reaches.
We land you by tender directly on the sand at Byblos Beach; from there it's the hotel's own shuttle, or a short taxi, back up to the village if you're staying at the hotel itself.
From Saint-Tropez's harbour, the run round to Pampelonne is a short one, generally under 20 minutes; from Cannes, allow closer to an hour.
If you're staying at Hôtel Byblos and want the Pampelonne beach day it's known for, the water taxi doesn't stop at the hotel's door — it stops at the beach, which is exactly where you're headed anyway.
The road out to Pampelonne is one of the most congested on the peninsula in July and August. Arriving by boat puts you on the sand at Byblos Beach without that drive.
Byblos Beach is the hotel's own stretch of Pampelonne — sunbeds, restaurant service and the same standard of hospitality as the village property, on one of the Riviera's best-known beaches.
