Cheval Blanc St-Tropez by the water, with its private beach and sun loungers

Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez

On the Bouillabaisse beach, west of the old village, Cheval Blanc St-Tropez has occupied the former Résidence de la Pinède since 2019. Coming from Nice airport along the gulf road, a Cheval Blanc transfer reaches it before you even enter central Saint-Tropez.

The hotel and its neighbourhood

The Résidence de la Pinède

The hotel opened in 1936 as the Résidence de la Pinède. The LVMH group bought it in 2016, had it renovated, and in 2019 gave it the Cheval Blanc name, a brand born in Courchevel. In October that year, Atout France awarded it palace status.

Roger Capron's ceramics

In the suites, you come across ceramics by Roger Capron. Outside, the Bouillabaisse beach stretches below the hotel, and Sainte-Maxime takes shape opposite, across the water.

Our chauffeur services at Cheval Blanc St-Tropez

Before the town centre

The last few kilometres run beside the sea, and the hotel comes before the narrow streets of the centre: the car never has to cross the village. Between Nice Airport and the Cheval Blanc, the drive takes 2 h 10 min, and you get the fare, from €280, as you book. Your private driver leaves you between the road and the beach, luggage included.

The old harbour, close by

The old harbour of Saint-Tropez is only a few minutes away by car. We drop you there for a stroll along the quays or a walk up to the citadel, which looks over the whole gulf. Call us when you want to head back to the beach.

Across the gulf

Our excursion service takes you to Port-Grimaud, François Spoerry's lakeside town, for a water-bus ride in season and lunch beside the canals. The chauffeur can then carry on to Sainte-Maxime, opposite, before the drive back to the Bouillabaisse.

Riviera Private Driver is an independent chauffeur service, not affiliated with the hotel.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Cheval Blanc St-Tropez?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €310 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €400 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €500 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€280 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.

How long does it take from Nice Airport to Cheval Blanc St-Tropez?

About 2 h 10 min to reach Cheval Blanc St-Tropez (108 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.

Coming from Nice, do we have to cross Saint-Tropez to reach the Cheval Blanc?

No. The hotel lies west of the centre, on the Bouillabaisse beach, and the gulf road leads there without going through the village streets.

Can you take us to lunch in Port-Grimaud from the Cheval Blanc and bring us back?

It is a few kilometres away round the head of the gulf. You are dropped where the lakeside town begins, and the chauffeur returns at the agreed time.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.

How do I pay?

Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.

What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?

A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
