Hôtel Lou Pinet

Just minutes from the Place des Lices and the peninsula’s beaches, Hôtel Lou Pinet is hidden away in the residential Pinet district, amidst umbrella pines, lavender and Mediterranean vegetation. Far from the port’s effervescence, the establishment recreates the atmosphere of a Southern family home with Provençal architecture, shaded terraces and bohemian décor inspired by the Riviera’s golden years. A shuttle service nevertheless provides easy access to the centre and the beaches of Tahiti.

The property features only 34 rooms and suites, reinforcing its intimate character. Charles Zana combines linen, ceramics, rope, terracotta and artistic references in bright interiors opening onto the gardens or the pool. Several categories feature private outdoor spaces, while the suites offer more space for couples, families or stays with friends.

Gastronomy is centred around La Terrasse, dedicated to light Mediterranean cuisine served throughout the day, and the famous Beefbar, conceived by Riccardo Giraudi. The latter combines exceptional meats such as Kobe or Wagyu with grilled specialities and contemporary creations in a setting open to the gardens. The indoor and outdoor bar completes this relaxed atmosphere with cocktails and aperitifs under the pines.

At the bottom of the garden, the Spa by Tata Harper forms a true cocoon with two treatment rooms, including one double, a hammam and a fitness area. The large 15-metre heated outdoor swimming pool is the heart of the estate and one of the property’s defining signatures. Pétanque, concierge services, personalised experiences and proximity to the beaches allow guests to easily alternate between absolute relaxation and Tropezian life.
