History

Château de Valmer started its hospitality journey as a guesthouse in 1949. The previous generation of the current owners ran the hotel. Although tourism wasn't so popular during those times, La Croix Valmer did get a lot of visitors because of its breathtaking natural beauty. The old-fashioned property was thoroughly renovated to meet modern needs and the old country house was expanded to create a more resort-like space. The hotel's sister property, La Pinède Plage, was built as an annex but later separated and started operating as an independent hotel in the 1970s.

Château de Valmer became a 4-star establishment in 2004, while La Pinède Plage earned its fourth star in 2010. Throughout the years, the two properties have grown side by side, offering unmatched hospitality to guests and sometimes even sharing each others' amenities. So, booking a room at Château de Valmer automatically means being able to explore La Pinède Plage and its private beach.
