Airelles Saint-Tropez, Château de la Messardière, overlooks the bay from the hills — its beach club, Jardin Tropezina on Pampelonne, is where a boat actually lands.
The Château de la Messardière, home to Airelles Saint-Tropez, sits above the town with views over the whole bay of Pampelonne — but no beach at the property itself. Jardin Tropezina, its beach club on Pampelonne, is what a water taxi can actually reach.
We land you by tender on the sand at Jardin Tropezina; guests staying up at the château continue by hotel transport for the final leg.
The crossing from Saint-Tropez harbour to Pampelonne is short, generally under 20 minutes in calm conditions.
Château de la Messardière's own setting is the view from the hills, not the shoreline — its beach club at Pampelonne is the part of the address that a boat can bring you to directly.
Pampelonne's access roads are some of the most congested on the peninsula in high season. Landing by boat at Jardin Tropezina removes that drive for the beach portion of your day.
Jardin Tropezina brings Airelles' style of service to the sand — restaurant, sunbeds and the same hospitality as the château up the hill, on one of Pampelonne's well-known stretches.
