Eden Plage

Eden Plage is on the avenue that continues east from Plage de la Nartelle towards Plage des Elephants, and it is the most club-like of the Sainte-Maxime beaches. The day starts on the deckchairs and parasols, which are open from ten in the morning until eight in the evening, and the restaurant carries on late on Wednesday to Saturday nights with live music, DJ sets and themed evenings; on Tuesdays and Sundays it serves lunch only. The kitchen is Mediterranean and works with fresh seasonal produce, served at the table or down on the sand. Logistics are handled at a higher level than most of its neighbours: valet parking, private showers, a boat shuttle for guests arriving by sea, massages and a small boutique, and the whole beach can be privatised for events. The season runs from late May to the end of September.
