Saint-Tropez · Pampelonne

The legendary bay south of Saint-Tropez — beachfront estates, vineyards and the address of the Riviera's most storied summers.

Indicative prime benchmark — not a valuation.

Set within the commune of Ramatuelle rather than Saint-Tropez itself, villas line the Route des Plages and the pine-backed slopes rising toward Cap Camarat, minutes from Club 55 and the quieter coves of L'Escalet. Owners tend to be repeat summer residents and yacht crowds who anchor off the bay, prizing discretion over the harbour's bustle.

How to buy in Saint-Tropez · Pampelonne

Pampelonne is a summer-driven market — beachfront estates and vineyards transact in a tight spring window before the season.

The process

  1. 1

    Engage a Riviera advisor

    Your agent curates on- and off-market villas and represents you through to signing — the off-market layer is where Cap-Ferrat and Saint-Tropez trophies trade.

  2. 2

    Offer & compromis de vente

    On agreement you sign a compromis (preliminary contract) with a deposit (commonly 5–10%); the buyer has a 10-day cooling-off right.

  3. 3

    Notaire & due diligence

    The notaire runs title, surveys (DDT diagnostics), planning and charge checks over roughly 8–12 weeks.

  4. 4

    Structuring & funds

    Decide on direct or SCI ownership, arrange financing, and budget the annual IFI wealth tax if net French real estate exceeds €1.3M.

  5. 5

    Acte authentique

    The final deed is signed before the notaire; the balance, duties and fees settle and possession transfers.
