Saint-Tropez Bracing For Its Next Tourism Surge, Thanks To The White Lotus S4

Published: JAN 22, 2026

CHÂTEAU DE LA MESSARDIÈRE

Perched above Pampelonne Bay, cypress trees and jasmine-lined gardens, it offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean and a sense of seclusion that contrasts with the crowds in Saint-Tropez’s harbor.

THE WHITE LOTUS EFFECT

Travel advisors say the series attracts a new set of travelers leading to an increase in demand for shoulder-season stays, private villas and experiential travel tied to gastronomy, wellness and coastal exploration.

EXPOSURE AT THE RIGHT TIME

Known for its excess nightlife, the town has been positioning itself as a nature-forward luxury escape, focusing on hillside hotels, beach clubs that prioritize privacy over spectacle.

FOOD WITH A VIEW

From sunrise breakfasts overlooking the bay to sunset dinners beneath parasol pines, the property offers a quieter vantage point on one of Europe’s most famous coastlines.
