La Réserve à La Plage

Plage de Pampelonne Route de l'Epi,

83350 Ramatuelle


La Réserve à la Plage is the chic Pampelonne stopover that reinvents the original spirit of Saint-Tropez bohemia into a charming cabana atmosphere (the beach version of the Réserve Ramatuelle) casting a seaside spell designed by Philippe Stark. The menu celebrates freshness and fragrant Mediterranean cuisine and an ethos of sharing with Normandy-born chef Nicolas Cantrel's Riviera-inspired cuisine. In the evening champagne bubbles and music take over, cultivating the elegance of the Saint-Tropez of yesteryear. La Réserve à la Plage highlights the famous sand hues of the House of Loro Piana, flirting with the blue tones of the Mediterranean - you can treat yourself to a pareo, handbag, straw hat or sunglasses from a selection of Tropezian and designer brands in their La Réserve à la Plage boutique.
