Saint Tropez Bay Grimaud New Sea View Villa

Sainte-Maxime sits on the northern shore of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, directly facing its more famous neighbour across the water. The town has long attracted a discerning residential clientele who value the same bay views and Mediterranean climate as Saint-Tropez, with considerably more ease of access and a calmer year-round character. Its seafront promenade, pine-covered hillsides, and well-maintained marina give the town a composed, unhurried quality that holds across all seasons.

Daily life centres on the covered market on Rue Fernand Bessy, the waterfront restaurants along the promenade, and the boutiques of the old town. The beach at La Croisette is a short walk from the centre. Saint-Tropez is reachable by ferry in approximately 15 minutes, making it practical for dining or events without the road traffic.

By road, Saint-Tropez is roughly 20 minutes via the D98A, and Fréjus is around 25 minutes. The nearest train station with regular TGV connections is Les Arcs-Draguignan, approximately 40 kilometres away, with direct high-speed services to Paris in around four hours. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 90 kilometres east, typically one hour and 15 minutes by car outside peak summer traffic.
