Arev St. Tropez, a year-round hotel, is celebrating its first anniversary with the debut of 11 new suites, its second pool and a variety of new culinary, fashion and activity programming for its guests. Located in France’s Saint-Tropez village, the luxury boutique hotel opened in March 2024.
Arev St. Tropez has increased its key count by adding 11 new accommodations, and now offers 35 guestrooms and signature suites. A new building has been constructed, housing 10 Junior Suites, most with large private terraces and nautically inspired interiors. A standalone bi-level Double Signature Suite with a large private terrace will also debut for families or extended getaways. These accommodations will be anchored by a new family-friendly pool. Meanwhile, the existing pool remains an adults-only space.
Arev’s signature restaurant, The Strand, will offer an al fresco experience this summer. Moving to the hotel’s Place des Oliviers courtyard, guests will dine amongst lights, live music and the ground’s olive trees. New offerings at The Strand Al Fresco include a Spritz Bar housed in the property’s vintage Citroën H Van, as well as a weekly culinary program comprising events such as a Summer Garden Party with live music, barbecues and wine tastings every Sunday.
Additionally, the property has created new masterclasses for guests to enjoy on and off property, which include experiences such as the following:
- Perfume masterclasses with Maison ST – The hotel has teamed up with Maison ST to create its spa, offering guests an immersive olfactory experience with personalized scent curation. Laure Beretti, the founder of Maison ST, will lead masterclasses during which she will share her knowledge and passion for perfume making.

- Mixology workshops in Q’s Bar – From rare whiskey tastings to cocktails, guests will be guided by Arev’s team of mixologists during these workshops.
