Épi 1959 – Saint-Tropez’s Iconic Private Retreat

Since its founding in 1959, Épi has remained one of the French Riviera’s most discreet and exclusive addresses. Set on the legendary Pampelonne Beach in Ramatuelle, Épi embodies barefoot luxury with a blend of heritage, privacy, and timeless elegance. Celebrities and jet-setters—from Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn to Johnny Hallyday and Alain Delon—helped forge the myth of Saint-Tropez at Épi, and today, the estate continues to welcome discerning travelers seeking authenticity over ostentation.

A Legacy of Barefoot Luxury

Épi has always represented the true spirit of Saint-Tropez: understated, non-conformist, and deeply authentic. Its privileged location on Pampelonne offers guests both tranquility and proximity to the vibrant heart of Saint-Tropez. Unlike traditional resorts, Épi is not about display, but about an intimate Riviera lifestyle curated around wellness, sport, gastronomy, and personalized service.

Guests at Épi can indulge in a holistic lifestyle:

- Wellness – A certified spa by Biologique Recherche & Wesak Paris, shaded yoga deck, meditation spaces, and a Frédéric Fekkai-affiliated salon.

- Fitness & Sports – Indoor and outdoor fitness centers with TechnoGym equipment, Nohrd rowing machines, and a daily program of classes.

- Tennis & Golf – Two synthetic clay courts with professional coaching, and privileged access to Saint-Tropez Golf Club.

The estate also provides poolside service, valet parking, a Surf Shack Kids Club, and a 24/7 guest relations team.

Dining

Épi’s Clubhouse Restaurant and Private Dining Room celebrate Mediterranean cuisine, complemented by poolside bars and 24/7 in-room dining. Whether a casual beachfront lunch or a private gourmet experience, the gastronomy reflects Riviera refinement with international flair.

Aviation Clientele Focus

Épi regularly welcomes private jet travelers landing at La Môle, Cannes, or Toulon-Hyères airports. From there, bespoke helicopter transfers can be arranged directly to Épi’s private helipad, located within the estate’s five-bedroom villa. This seamless access makes Épi a preferred choice for aviation clientele, executives, and high-profile guests seeking confidentiality and ease of arrival.

What Sets Épi Apart

What distinguishes Épi in the luxury hospitality landscape is not only its enviable Riviera location but also its authentic heritage. For over six decades, Épi has preserved its spirit as a private, members-style retreat where elegance is timeless, discretion is absolute, and every stay feels like returning to your own summer home in Saint-Tropez.
