A Côte d’Azur landmark has been lovingly revived with the opening of COMO Le Beauvallon on the French Riviera.
Once a celebrated Belle Époque palace famed for its sweeping terraces and pine-shaded gardens, the iconic Le Beauvallon — which has welcomed countless luminaries, including Winston Churchill, Colette, and Audrey Hepburn, since its original opening — has been given a new lease of life as a refined 42-room Riviera sanctuary.
Today, COMO Le Beauvallon’s location remains exceptional, with some of the best views and access to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez on the entire Côte d’Azur. Perched atop a hill within a private four-hectare estate of palms, pines and rolling lawns that flow down to the hotel’s exclusive beach club, Beauvallon Sur Mer, the property offers guests private eight-minute boat transfers to Saint-Tropez or the beaches of Pampelonne.
While the new COMO boasts lavish guest rooms and suites (many of which feature highlights from the hotel’s collection of contemporary art), an intimate COMO Shambhala spa, and a culinary vision led by chef Yannick Alléno, it is Beauvallon Sur Mer (open to both guests and visitors) that will captivate boaters cruising the Med.
With striking interiors by French designer Dorothée Delaye — whose vision bridges Belle Époque refinement with a contemporary spirit inspired by the carefree glamour of the 1950s — the beach club is home to a 25-metre mosaic pool, a lounge and rooftop bar, and one of the Riviera’s most coveted dining destinations: Beauvallon Sur Mer by Yannick Alléno, the chef’s first beach club concept.
Set against fluid wrought-iron curves, yacht-like marquetry, and sunlit Riviera hues, the eatery offers diners a contemporary dialogue expressed through generous sharing plates and signature dishes such as yellowtail tartare with peanuts and Thai basil ice cream, and seared tuna steak served with Kampot pepper sauce.
Alternative dining at the hotel includes the Winter Garden, an all-day dining room set beneath a luminous glass ceiling serving Mediterranean dishes with Niçoise accents, and the Riviera Terrace, an open-air lounge designed by Paola Navone of Milan’s Otto Studio.
