Where it actually is
Club 55 sits at the northern end of Pampelonne beach, on Boulevard Patch, in the commune of Ramatuelle. It is the first establishment coming from Saint-Tropez, about 9 km from the village, a quarter of an hour out of season. The most common confusion is placing it in the middle of Pampelonne: over a kilometre separates it from Nikki Beach, and the two accesses do not connect directly on the road side. Giving the exact name when booking saves a ten-minute detour on arrival.
Access and drop-off
The main entrance opens onto the club's car park, paid and full early in high season. Our drivers use the back access for drop-off, which leaves you a few metres from the entrance without joining the car park queue. At lunchtime the Route des Plages saturates between 11am and 1pm. Leaving before 11 or after 1:30pm changes the journey entirely — for a booked table we set the departure around that rather than around an app's estimate.
The return
This is the real issue. Around 6-7pm every establishment on Pampelonne empties at once and finding an available vehicle becomes a gamble. So we agree a time and a pickup point on the outbound run, or we work on a day-long chauffeur-at-disposal basis: the driver stays in the area and comes when you call, with no travel time from Saint-Tropez.
