A Day at Byblos Beach: St. Tropez's Hottest New Beach Club

Ah, the sunny south of France!

Pastel colored buildings, cobblestone streets, sandy beaches and perfectly blue water… is there anything more romantic than the thought of spending a summer in Saint Tropez on the Cote d’Azur?! We certainly don’t think so. It only took one visit to Saint Tropez last summer for us to fall completely in love with this little slice of paradise. It’s no surprise to us that this town became famous for its influx of artists and celebrities and is now known especially as a holiday destination for the rich and famous and the vacationing family alike. The endless high-end shopping, posh resorts, nightlife and of course, the pristine beaches make this a dream destination. We knew we had to get back asap, so we decided to end our summer Europe trip with 3 nights back at our beloved Hotel Byblos. (You can see our article from Hotel Byblos here). Conveniently enough, the hotel just opened up their brand new beach club Byblos Beach and we couldn’t wait to check it out! Byblos is an iconic property in the heart of St. Tropez and the perfect spot to spend your summer holidays.

After breakfast by the pool, we took the shuttle over to Byblos Beach— which is just a quick car ride over from the resort. We were immediately enamored by the chic boho vibes of the beach club’s decor. The beautiful knit umbrellas and woven “ceiling” covering the bar and restaurant had us swooning over this place from the start… There are old black and white photos from the 60’s and 70’s of celebrities such as Brigitte Bardot enjoying their summers in St Tropez all around, and you immediately feel cooler just being there. ;)

We enjoyed the day laying in the sun, and then had lunch and cocktails in the restaurant. The cocktails couldn’t have been prettier and the fresh mediterranean food is worth a visit even if you don’t care to lay in the sun— the food was absolutely delicious and did not disappoint!

We enjoyed an afternoon of sun and cocktails, then lazily made our way back to the hotel for a stunning Italian dinner at La Cucina, the perfect end to the perfect day. Hotel Byblos already had our hearts, but if you’re looking for a stylish high-end beach club with a laid-back feel, we cannot recommend Byblos Beach more highly. We are already looking forward to our next visit! Cheers!
