Saint-Tropez
Best time to visitJune and September are ideal: the yachts, beach clubs and villas are all in full swing, without the August crush, and September brings Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. Most of the town's hotels and beach clubs close from late autumn to spring.

Arrive privately
- By private jet
- Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE / LFMN), about 1 hour 30 minutes or more by car, which is why most arrivals continue by helicopter. La Môle-Saint-Tropez (LTT / LFTZ), about 20 minutes away, has a short 1,071-metre runway that takes smaller aircraft only, and Toulon-Hyères (TLN / LFTH), about 1 hour away, takes larger jets. Sky Valet, the private aviation arm of the Côte d'Azur airports group, runs the private terminal at La Môle.
- By helicopter
- The usual way in from Nice, about 20 minutes. The flights are operated by Héli Sécurité and Monacair and booked through BLADE, which has sold their seats and private flights since 2022 and has been part of Joby Aviation since 2025.
- By sea
- Port de Saint-Tropez, about 730 berths, with superyachts moored stern-to along the village quays; on the waterfront of the village itself.
- Good to know
- La Môle is weather-sensitive and requires a specific pilot qualification, so a fallback to Toulon-Hyères or Nice is worth planning.
