My St. Tropez 2025 Insider Guide
Makeup by: Vesa Gashi | Hair by: Christina Morales | Photos by: Guri Gashi
Since the first time I visited St. Tropez, I felt something special. Maybe it’s the magic of the marina, the tiny winding alleys, the way the light hits the hills at golden hour, or just the energy of the people, it has a pull I can’t explain. I’ve been coming back every year since, and I get asked all the time: Where should I go? Where should I stay?
While I love sharing in real-time on Instagram, I wanted to give you a more permanent guide you can return to again and again.
So… are you ready? Let’s dive in.
Lunch Spots
La Guérite Sainte-Marguerite
Only accessible by boat, which makes it feel extra special. Long, lazy lunches by the sea.

La Réserve Ramatuelle
It’s stunning, but honestly too far from the center of St. Tropez. Not worth it for me.

Château Minuty
A classic Provençal vineyard and a beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Sip slowly, take in the views, and don’t forget to grab a bottle (or case) to bring home.
