When thinking of a chic Mediterranean destination renowned for exclusivity and glamour, then few places are more evocative than St. Tropez, on the glittering French Riviera. The go-to holiday hotspot for A-Listers, this exceptional Côte d’Azur village still maintains its authentic allure that attracted bohemians and artists long before the super-yachts arrived, writes Andrew Forbes.

Villa Water’s Edge, one of the latest properties to join the ultra-luxury portfolio of One Authentic Properties, offers guests the most exclusive St. Tropez experience. Here one can indulge in the classic French Riviera jet-set lifestyle; have all the privileged benefits of modern ultra-luxury at your fingertips; and yet still enjoy the privacy and charm that can make a stay on the French Riviera truly unique.
Once an unknown fishing village on the Cote d’Azur, St. Tropez, on the sparkling Mediterranean, began to attract creatives from the vibrant arts scene in Paris. Then things really changed in the 1950s, with the release of the sexy and controversial movie, ‘And God Created Woman’, which was filmed on location in St Tropez. The movie catapulted its young lead, Bridget Bardot, to international stardom; and with the magic of the movies came the fashion crowd, celebrities and the elite…making St Tropez the most glamourous place in the Mediterranean.

Overlooking the shore, close to the charm of St Tropez’s old town, and the allure of its glamorous beach clubs and fine-dining restaurants, Villa Water’s Edge has a winning location. Guests have easy access to the world-class pleasures of St Tropez, yet can also remain secluded within the unsurpassed beauty of the Cote d’Azur. It’s little wonder that this special part of the South of France inspired artists such as Cézanne, Renoir, Van Gogh, Matisse, and Picasso.
