Tiki Club Saint Tropez

Tiki Club sits on Route des Plages at the Kon Tiki site. It is a ten-minute walk from Plage de Pampelonne, placing it at a remove from the densest sands of the peninsula.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real utility here is distance. Where Bagatelle Beach and Club 55 lean into a frantic, high-octane energy, Tiki Club offers a more considered approach to Mediterranean seafood. It is a better choice if you prefer your lunch to involve a conversation rather than a spectacle. Choosing this over the busier beach clubs further down the stretch is the primary reason to visit; you gain a view of the water without the shoulder-to-shoulder crush common to the local circuit.
