Arev St. Tropez - My Thoughts

I visited Arev St. Tropez in November, 2025 right before ILTM in Cannes.

If we were catching up over coffee and you asked me for a chic, feel-good place to stay in St. Tropez, AREV would be at the very top of my list. It’s just a five-minute walk into the heart of the village, yet once you’re inside, it feels like your own stylish Riviera hideaway.

With only 35 individually designed rooms, AREV feels intimate and personal—never busy, never chaotic. It has that old-school Riviera glamour I love, but with a fresh, modern twist. Think bold colors, beautiful details, and a sophisticated vibe that still feels relaxed and fun.

One of my favorite touches? There’s no traditional check-in desk. You arrive, take a seat in the lounge, and check in comfortably—possibly with a welcome drink in hand, no lines, no rush. It immediately sets the tone: slow down, you’re on the Riviera now.
