Categories : Saint-Tropez, Hotel, published on : 9/10/26
As summer draws to a close, Saint-Tropez reveals a more peaceful side. Temperatures remain mild, the Mediterranean keeps its warmth, and the buzz of high season gives way to a more serene atmosphere. Between sunny beaches, sporting events, and Mediterranean art de vivre, September is an ideal time to discover the destination.
A sweet way of life punctuated by major events
In September, the beaches become quieter and the streets of the historic center invite you to wander. It's also the perfect time to walk the coastal path, visit the vineyards of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, or discover the neighboring Provençal villages.
Several major events also bring the destination to life. From September 16th to 20th, 2026, the Longines League of Nations will bring together the world's ten best show jumping nations at the Polo Club Saint-Tropez – Haras de Gassin.
On September 19th and 20th, the European Heritage Days will offer a fresh way to discover the village's iconic sites. From September 21st to 27th, the Saint-Tropez Open, a tournament on the ATP Challenger circuit, will welcome international players to the courts of the Tennis Club de Saint-Tropez. Finally, starting September 26th, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez will put on an exceptional show in the gulf with nearly 250 classic sailboats, maxi-yachts, and modern sailing vessels.
Extending the last moments of summer at La Bastide
At La Bastide de Saint-Tropez, make the most of September days by our heated pool, in an elegant and intimate setting. Also treat yourself to a moment at the Spa by Holidermie, where personalized treatments and rituals invite you to slow down and recharge.
At lunchtime, discover the fresh and generous Italian cuisine of La Trattoria, by the poolside. As evening falls, Le Jardin de la Bastide welcomes you for a refined dinner created by chef Luca Binaschi around Mediterranean flavors and seasonal produce.
Staying at La Bastide de Saint-Tropez in September, you'll enjoy a more serene destination without giving up its energy. Between sporting events, cultural discoveries, spa moments, and dinners in the gardens, each day will invite you to fully savor the Tropezian way of life.
