Saint Tropez Weddings – for beach lovers

There’s nothing more romantic than the beach. The gentle crashing of waves upon the shore, the glittering ocean stretching out in front of you. That’s why so many people fall in love with the idea of a beach wedding. However, you’ll need somewhere for guests to step out of the midday heat, grab a fresh glass of champagne and perhaps cosy up under a blanket as dusk falls.

St Tropez has many charming beach clubs at which you could choose to tie the knot, but there are none quite like Nikki Beach. With 15 years of experience hosting luxury events, this beautiful beachfront venue offers a relaxed yet opulent atmosphere on one of Saint Tropez’s most beautiful white beaches, only a 10-minute drive from the town. Soak up star-studded glamour and indulge in globally inspired cuisine as you enjoy one of the most important days of your life. Then simply book into one of the French Riviera’s nearby luxury wedding villas to rent to continue your night of romance.

The wine connoisseurs

For a charming, old-world setting where you can build on your knowledge of local Côte d’Azur wines, the Château de Valmer Spa Hotel is perfection. Surrounded by organic vineyards and luscious gardens, this chateau is set in the sleepy countryside of the St Tropez peninsula. The hotel offers seclusion, luxury, country charm, breathtaking vistas, and a delicious restaurant, all wrapped up in one incredible destination. However, what will really appeal to wine connoisseurs is the opportunity to say their vows against the backdrop of the bountiful grape vines, before touring the vineyard’s 32 hectares and sampling the variety of Chenin wines they produce there. Everyone from wannabee sommeliers to elite masters of wine will declare this chateau heaven.
