Bianca Brandolini's Saint-Tropez Travel Guide

Saint-Tropez needs no introduction.

Everyone’s heard of Saint-Tropez — so, whether it’s still on your bucket list or calling you back for another visit, this sun-soaked gem along the French Riviera never loses its charm. Between its iconic beaches, effortless glamour, and that irresistible Mediterranean charm, there’s always something new (and timeless) to fall in love with. In this guide, Bianca Brandolini (you may recognize her as Estee Lauder's latest global ambassador) shares her favorite spots for dining, lounging, and soaking up the spirit of Saint-Tropez. Might as well bring the "savoir-faire" (pronounced: sav-wahr-fair), which is French for "knowing how to do."

Where to Eat & Sip

Lunch at  Les Salins
A tucked-away spot that feels equal parts local and luxe. Think fresh seafood, a relaxed vibe, and just the right amount of salt in the air. It’s the perfect mid-day escape when you want to avoid the scene and savor the simplicity.

"A hidden seaside retreat. Grilled sardines, fresh fish, and a beautiful view set the scene for a lunch with a special atmosphere."

Dinner at  BanH-Hoï
Asian fusion meets Riviera style in a space that’s buzzy, moody, and made for long dinners with friends. The flavors are bold, the cocktails hit just right, and the vibe? Pure Saint-Tropez after dark.
