April 24, 2026
The reopening of COMO Le Beauvallon on April 24, 2026 marks one of the French Riviera’s most closely watched hotel revivals. Set on a private estate in Grimaud, overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, the 1914 Belle Époque property returns under COMO Hotels and Resorts after years of operating away from the public hotel circuit. Its revival brings COMO to the Côte d’Azur for the first time, repositioning the former Grande Dame as a more intimate, art-centric retreat rather than another loud address in the Saint-Tropez social machine.
The renovation balances Riviera nostalgia with contemporary lightness. Across 42 individually designed rooms and suites, the property uses art, architecture and sea-facing calm to create the feeling of a private residence rather than a conventional palace hotel. Reports note that the interiors hold nearly 300 to more than 300 artworks and installations, turning the hotel into a lived-in gallery where collectible objects sit inside the everyday rhythm of travel.
The reopening also marks a culinary and wellness pivot. Yannick Alléno leads the gastronomic vision with Beauvallon Sur Mer, while COMO Shambhala brings the brand’s wellness philosophy to the Riviera through restorative programming, nutrition-led dining and daily practices shaped around modern fatigue. This makes the estate feel less like a weekend stage set and more like a full-body retreat for guests seeking discretion, design and recovery.
