Wellness weekend in Saint-Tropez in October: spa, yoga and the gentle charm of the late season at Sezz

In October, Saint-Tropez changes pace. Summer crowds diminish, the light becomes softer and temperatures are more suitable for walks, outdoor yoga and days alternating between the spa, the beach and hiking.

In 2027, Hôtel Sezz Saint-Tropez is extending its season until 10 October. An opportunity to discover another side of the peninsula: calmer, slower and particularly well suited to a wellness weekend.

On the programme: Susanne Kaufmann treatments, hammam and jacuzzi, sunrise or sunset yoga, two-night retreats, the Coastal Path, Salins Beach and dinner at the Michelin-starred Colette restaurant.

Why choose Saint-Tropez in October for a wellness weekend?

The main advantage of the off-season is its pace. In October, conditions are more favourable for outdoor activities without the heat of high summer, while Saint-Tropez’s beaches, paths and streets become more peaceful again.

The Sezz seasonal guide indicates daytime temperatures of around 15 to 20°C and an average sea temperature of around 19°C. Naturally, these weather conditions may vary from one year to another.

For a wellness-focused stay, this period above all makes it possible to alternate treatments with outdoor activities: walking in the morning, enjoying an unhurried lunch, booking a massage in the afternoon, then making the most of the late-day light.

Which spa should you choose in Saint-Tropez in October? Spa Sezz by Susanne Kaufmann

At the heart of Hôtel Sezz Saint-Tropez, the Spa Sezz by Susanne Kaufmann combines face and body treatments, massages, a hammam, a jacuzzi and yoga. Its architecture is based on the “In & Out” concept conceived by Christophe Pillet, creating continuity between the interior spaces, the garden and natural light.

The spa has two treatment rooms, including one couples’ room. Treatments are available from 10 am to 8 pm; the hammam and jacuzzi remain accessible until 9 pm.

Treatments and experiences available

• Susanne Kaufmann face and body treatments: from €70

• Rituals: up to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment

• Signature massages: including Recovery in Salins and Bikini Body Massage

• Yoga: sunrise and sunset, by reservation

• Beauty technology: Nooānce “Le Professionnel” LED mask

• Couples’ experience: couples’ treatment room and Tandem Parent-Child treatment

Which treatment should you choose for a first visit?

Mathilde Burgey, Spa Manager, recommends the Susanne Kaufmann body massage for a first experience: a full-body massage with an oil selected on arrival according to the desired outcome.

“It is the brand’s signature massage: relaxing, comprehensive and accessible even to those who are not used to receiving massages. Guests choose their oil on arrival: arnica for muscle recovery, calendula for fatigue or long journeys, and pomegranate for radiant skin.”

This personal expertise gives the stay a more individual dimension: the treatment is not simply added to the programme; it helps shape the rhythm of the weekend.

Which wellness retreats should you choose for two nights in Saint-Tropez?

Sezz offers four immersive retreats designed as two-night programmes. Depending on the option, they combine treatments, yoga or relaxation, spa access and a healthy lunch.

Slow Escape by Susanne Kaufmann

A package designed for slowing down: access to the hammam and jacuzzi, the Slow Sezz ritual, face and body treatments, and a 100% plant-based healthy lunch by the pool.

From €540 / day / person.

Glow Escape by Susanne Kaufmann

A retreat focused on skin radiance, with a personalised assessment, targeted treatments, spa access and a healthy lunch.

From €517.50 / day / person.

Flow Escape by Susanne Kaufmann

Yoga, a body treatment, recovery and spa access make up this package designed to combine movement and relaxation.

From €487.50 / day / person.

Duo Escape by Susanne Kaufmann

A retreat to experience as a couple, with face treatments, a couples’ massage, spa access and a lunch to share.

From €564.50 / day / person.

For those who find it difficult to switch off, Mathilde particularly recommends the Flow or Slow retreats, along with one deliberately simple rule: turn off your phone, then create a small routine between the spa, beach, pool and screen-free meals.

What can you do during a wellness weekend in Saint-Tropez in October?

A wellness stay is not limited to the spa. Sezz’s location on route des Salins makes it easy to include walking, the beach, the market and exploring the peninsula in your itinerary.

Walk along the Coastal Path

From the Canebiers Beach area, the Coastal Path follows the shoreline through rocky landscapes, Mediterranean vegetation and sea views. In October, setting off in the morning means enjoying generally milder temperatures and lower light.

• From Sezz: Canebiers Beach is in the immediate vicinity

• Activity: coastal walking and hiking

• Tip: bring water, wear suitable footwear and check access conditions before setting off

Enjoy Salins Beach

Salins Beach offers a simple break to fit in between two treatments: walk on the sand, read, practise a few yoga movements or, for those accustomed to cooler water, consider a swim depending on the day’s conditions.

• From Sezz: around 10 minutes on foot, depending on the route

• October atmosphere: quieter than in high season

Discover Cap Taillat from Escalet

For those wishing to devote more time to walking, Cap Taillat makes for an excursion on the Saint-Tropez peninsula from Escalet Beach in Ramatuelle. The route crosses an unspoilt Mediterranean landscape and requires water and suitable equipment.

Stroll through the Place des Lices market

On Tuesday and Saturday mornings, the Place des Lices market offers seasonal produce, flowers, Provençal specialities, crafts and clothing beneath the plane trees. You may also meet some of Colette restaurant’s partners there, such as cheesemonger Loïc de Saleneuve, based in Collobrières.

To make this article immediately useful, here is an example of a two-night rhythm. It is not a fixed programme: the very point of a wellness stay is to leave room for free time.

• Late afternoon in the hammam and jacuzzi

• Susanne Kaufmann massage or treatment

• Dinner at Colette restaurant or Le C bistro

Day 2 - Move, breathe, recover

• Sunrise yoga by reservation

• Breakfast at Sezz

• Walk along the Coastal Path or visit Salins Beach

• Lunch followed by free time

• Spa treatment or ritual

• Sunset and evening at Sezz

Day 3 - Extend the calm

• Unhurried breakfast

• Place des Lices market if your stay falls on a Tuesday or Saturday

• One last spa session, walk or beach visit before departure

Where should you dine during a wellness weekend at Sezz?

In the evening, your stay can remain entirely at Sezz. Three settings allow you to extend the day without having to travel further.

Colette, Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant

Colette restaurant offers cuisine by Chef Philippe Colinet, centred on produce, seasonality and local producers. In 2027, it is scheduled to remain open until 9 October, for dinner only, from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm.

Le C, Sezz’s bistro

Le C offers a more relaxed alternative, for both lunch and dinner. At the end of the season, its terrace overlooking the pool allows you to remain in the hotel’s atmosphere until evening.

The Dom Pérignon bar

To end the day, the Dom Pérignon bar lets you enjoy the gardens and late-day light over a drink, without leaving the hotel.
