La Réserve Ramatuelle overlooks Pampelonne from the hills above — its beach restaurant, La Réserve à la Plage, sits right on the sand and is where a boat lands.
La Réserve Ramatuelle sits on the Chemin des Crêtes, high above Pampelonne, with a view described by the hotel itself as looking out over 'the infinite sea' rather than onto it directly. La Réserve à la Plage, its beach restaurant, is the part of the address actually on the sand.
We land you by tender at La Réserve à la Plage; guests staying at the hotel continue up the hill separately.
Pampelonne is a short crossing from Saint-Tropez harbour — generally under 20 minutes in calm conditions.
La Réserve Ramatuelle's setting is the view from above, not a shoreline position — its beach restaurant on Pampelonne is the genuine 'feet in the sand' side of the address, and the one a water taxi reaches.
The lanes up to La Réserve's hillside position are narrow, and the beach itself sits below on Pampelonne — arriving by boat puts you straight on the sand for lunch or a beach day without the drive either way.
A beachfront restaurant and lounge on Pampelonne, run in the same style as the hotel above, with the hillside gardens and infinity pool as the separate, higher-up part of the property.
