Beaumier's seaside hotel on the Estérel corniche has its own dock — skip the coast road and step off a water taxi straight onto the property.
Les Roches Rouges sits right on the water on the Estérel corniche between Saint-Raphaël and Le Dramont. The hotel has a private dock suitable for a water taxi, so we bring you alongside and you step off directly onto the property — no coast-road traffic, no transfer at the end.
When the swell makes the dock awkward, our operators carry a tender (dinghy) and land you on the adjacent shore a few metres away. Either way the arrival is direct: your captain confirms the exact drop-off with the hotel before departure.
From Saint-Tropez the run up the Estérel coast is roughly 40 minutes in a calm sea; from Cannes it is a short hop across the bay. Arriving from Nice Airport, we meet you on the water after a road or helicopter leg into the western Riviera.
One of the few Riviera hotels with genuine sea access, Les Roches Rouges faces the red porphyry rocks of the Estérel with a seawater pool at the shoreline. Reaching it by boat turns the transfer itself into the first moment of the stay.
The hotel markets "direct access to the sea" but its own directions only cover car, train and plane. Boat is the arrival that matches the setting: you approach the property from the water, past the Estérel cliffs, and land at the dock.
For guests coming from Saint-Tropez, Cannes or a yacht anchored nearby, the water taxi removes the slow coast road (the D559) entirely.
Beaumier's Les Roches Rouges is a design hotel built into the rocks, with a heated seawater pool, a beach, and Mediterranean dining looking out over the bay. The Estérel massif behind it is one of the most striking stretches of the French coast.
