Nova Lodges

Slotted between the Gulf of Saint-Tropez shoreline and the Prairies de la Mer leisure complex, Nova Lodges occupies a beachfront position on Route du Littoral in Port Grimaud — roughly 8km west of Saint-Tropez village and a practical five-star base for travellers who want direct sand access without the harbour-town parking ordeal.

Two pools and a private beach area handle most daytime hours; the spa and fitness centre extend the resort loop inland. Both restaurants draw a crowd that arrives by road and by boat from the gulf — free parking removes one friction point that most Riviera properties cannot match.

Port Grimaud itself, the pedestrianised canal village designed by architect François Spoerry in the 1960s, sits a short walk along the waterfront. Check-in opens at 16:00, giving afternoon arrivals time to settle before the dinner service begins.
