Not many people can lay claim to having one of the world’s most sought-after hotels designed just for them, but that’s how the Byblos came to be, when this legendary Provençal hotel was built just to woo Brigitte Bardot.

We're not sure it worked, but it's been tempting jet-setters and A-listers ever since, who come for discreet service and that quintessential St Tropez experience: the fabled Les Caves du Roy nightclub (a modern-day interpretation of Studio 54), super Sisley Spa, the gourmet delights of Rivea by Alain Ducasse and the lively B. Restaurant, not to mention the super-glamorous pool scene.
