OVERVIEW
St. Tropez is THE place to be in the South of France for casual french sophistication and fun in the sun during the summer months. September is the best time to be there with many tourists gone yet there is still a party buzz in the air and the salty sea is perfect for a long swim. This retreat begins each day with yoga, yet make no mistake we will be hitting all the highlights of the area. This retreat can be as relaxing as you want it to be but when in St. Tropez….well….it’s time to let go and be part of the international vibe at beach clubs, wineries, fabulous fancy dinners, charming towns and all with a glass of rosé in hand. Take a look at our activities below and if you weren’t already sold on joining us in St. Tropez, you will be!
THE AREA & ACTIVITIES
The legendary South of France town of St. Tropez will be the setting for this fun-loving, beachy retreat. What makes this place so unique is the juxtoposition of incredibly beautiful nature with the charming sophistication of the French culture. It draws an upscale international crowd who is looking to have some major fun, as are we! This isn’t going to be a traditional yoga retreat as the intention is to let go and enjoy all that the area has to offer including exceptional restaurants, beach clubs, an incredible experience of St. Tropez by boat, shopping at chic boutiques, a countryside jaunt to a charming provencal town, a picnic in a new winery (oh yes, rosé please!), aperitivos in the port and of course a game or two of pétanque. I know we will make beautiful memories together as these groups always do when we arrive with an intention to let go , connect with others and enjoy life.
HOTEL
We will be staying at the chic 4 star boutique Hotel des Lices. Situated truly in the very center of St. Tropez, you will be within walking minutes to the boutiques, the port, and best restaurants in town. We will be taking the hotel’s Villa Paloma next door to the hotel as well as additional rooms at the hotel itself. The villa will be used as a place for us to practice yoga, relax in privacy or socialize. Champagne on the terrace? Yes!! We will have breakfast at the main hotel every morning and have full access to the main pool and bar as well. Really the location of this property couldn’t be better. You are literally steps away from everything in town. Plus its the only family run hotel left in St. Tropez. The food is exceptional and its oozing with charm.
YOGA
This retreat will feature daily yoga classes led by certified yoga instructor, Michelle Lee. Classes are open to all levels, beginner to practiced, and will be led in both an Ashtanga-inspired general vinyasa flow and Yin Yoga. We will begin each day at 8am with a yoga class to bring intention and an uplifted energy for the day ahead.
