Como Le Beauvallon to reopen on French Riviera in April 2026 following renovation and operational upgrades

Como Le Beauvallon will reopen on the French Riviera in April 2026 following renovation works and operational upgrades, the company said, as the property resumes seasonal operations in the coastal town of Sainte-Maxime ahead of the summer tourism period.

The hotel, located along the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, had been closed for refurbishment and is scheduled to welcome guests from April, aligning with the start of the region’s peak travel season. Management said the reopening includes updates to accommodation, public areas and service infrastructure.

Reopening timeline and location

The property is situated in Sainte-Maxime on the French Riviera, directly facing Saint-Tropez across the bay. Como Hotels and Resorts confirmed that the reopening is scheduled for April 2026, with bookings already open for the upcoming season.

The hotel operates as a seasonal property and typically closes during the winter months. The reopening marks its return to full operations following renovation activities carried out during the off-season period.

Officials said the timing of the reopening is aligned with expected increases in visitor arrivals to the Riviera, which sees a surge in international and domestic travel during spring and summer.

Renovation scope and facility updates

The renovation project included upgrades to guest rooms, suites and shared spaces within the property. The hotel said the work focused on improving layout efficiency, interior finishes and operational functionality.

Public areas, including reception, dining zones and outdoor terraces, have been updated as part of the refurbishment. Management confirmed that infrastructure improvements were also made to support service delivery and guest flow.

The property’s beach and pool areas have undergone maintenance and enhancements to prepare for seasonal operations. Staff facilities and back-of-house systems were also upgraded to align with operational requirements.

Dining and service operations

Dining facilities at the hotel have been revised, with adjustments to kitchen layouts and seating arrangements. The hotel said food and beverage operations will resume alongside accommodation services from the reopening date.

Menus and service formats have been updated as part of the relaunch, with staff training conducted ahead of reopening to ensure readiness. The hotel confirmed that both indoor and outdoor dining areas will be operational.

Service protocols have been reviewed and standardised to support expected occupancy levels during peak travel months.

Operational readiness and staffing

The hotel said recruitment and staff onboarding have been completed in preparation for reopening. Training programs were conducted across departments including front office, housekeeping and food and beverage.

Operational systems, including reservation platforms and guest service processes, have been reactivated and tested prior to reopening. Management confirmed that all departments are prepared to resume full service.

Additional staffing has been allocated to handle peak demand periods, particularly during the summer months when occupancy is expected to be highest.

Tourism context and seasonal demand

The French Riviera remains a major tourism destination, attracting visitors from Europe, North America and other international markets. Hotels in the region typically operate at high occupancy levels during the summer season.

Sainte-Maxime serves as a quieter alternative to Saint-Tropez while maintaining access to the same coastal area. Industry participants said properties in the area benefit from both leisure tourism and regional travel flows.

The reopening of Como Le Beauvallon adds to available room inventory in the region ahead of the 2026 summer season.

Current status

Como Le Beauvallon is scheduled to reopen in April 2026, with reservations currently being accepted and final operational preparations underway as the property returns to service for the upcoming tourism season.
