Location:
Le Belvédère is nestled in an exclusive neighborhood of Sainte-Maxime, a brief stroll down the hill to the shops, restaurants, and beaches of this captivating French Riviera resort overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
A more relaxed town compared to its glitzy neighbor, Saint-Tropez, Sainte-Maxime offers a delightful environment backed by beautiful hills and a usually sunny climate. The old town features attractive café and restaurant terraces that come alive on summer evenings, along with a daily covered market and a larger market on Thursday mornings showcasing the best regional produce.
The town’s main sandy beach, next to the picturesque port, hosts a handful of beachside restaurants. Slightly further south lies Plage de la Croisette and Sainte-Maxime’s sailing club. To the north, discover the long sandy beach of Plage de la Nartelle (3km), perfect for families and windsurfing enthusiasts. Explore the wilder shores around La Pointe des Sardinaux (3km), only reachable on foot and popular with snorkelers.
Enjoy summer boat trips with Saint-Tropez just a 20-minute ferry ride away. Take a private excursion to explore the gorgeous coastline, whether heading north around Saint-Raphaël and the Esterel calanques or south towards Port Grimaud, Saint-Tropez, and beyond.
Golf enthusiasts can play at the 18-hole Golf Blue Green Sainte-Maxime course or the prestigious Beauvallon Golf Club, both around 5km away. Outdoor activities abound with walking trails, cycling, horse-riding, and a wealth of summer watersports in or around Sainte-Maxime, including stand-up paddleboarding, sea-kayaking, pedalo hire, diving, wakeboarding, and water-skiing.
Discover the glamour of Saint-Tropez (16km), one of the French Riviera’s most famous towns, with its boutiques, high-end restaurants, and impressive marina. Immerse yourself in its characterful old quarter and bustling twice-weekly market at Place des Lices. If driving, combine your visit with a trip to one of the exclusive beach clubs of Pampelonne Beach (20km) or explore the wild shores and beautiful landscapes around La Croix Valmer, Plage de
Gigaro, and Plage d’Héraclée—an area ideal for keen hikers and wine lovers.
Flower-filled Grimaud (13km) is an old Provençal village with stunning views down to the coast, a delightful spot for a gourmet lunch or a leisurely wander through its medieval lanes. Ramatuelle (17km) and Gassin (15km) are two other picture-perfect hilltop villages in this part of the French Riviera. Alternatively, visit Port-Grimaud (10km), a unique seaside town also known as the ‘little Venice of Provence’, where you can explore its canals by boat.
Heading north, experience the French Riviera charm of Saint-Raphaël (24km) and historic Fréjus (22km). Alternatively, spend the day in Cannes (60km), approximately an hour away by car via the autoroute through the Massif de l’Esterel.
