The world’s most beautiful yachts will gather in Saint Tropez from Sept. 26 to Oct. 4. for the annual Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, a sailing regatta that has its roots in competitive challenges between yacht captains and passionate sailors in the early 1980s, and has billowed into an event of international repute.

Over 300 sailboats, ancient and modern, round off the sailing season in style on the gulf of Saint-Tropez. Cutting-edge modern sailing yachts in full-blooded competition rubbing shoulders with the most beautiful traditional yachts makes this a heady mix of the yesteryear and the ultra-modern technology of today.

Saint-Tropez becomes a celebration of sailing as the town becomes a hive of activity, between competition at sea and supporting parties partying on land.

Carlton International is offering three properties in Saint-Tropez for rent during this time for those seeking a little luxury away from the hubbub to rest and gain strength for the competition or another round of socializing. The Carlton VIP lounge, overlooking the old port, is open during the event.

Here’s what is available for rent, followed by photos:
