Location and access
Nikki Beach sits in the middle of Pampelonne beach, on the Chemin des Moulins, about 10 km from Saint-Tropez. Its access is separate from Club 55's: the two do not connect on the road side, and you have to drive back out to move between them. The venue has a shaded car park, which is far from universal along Pampelonne — but it fills early, like the others, from mid-morning in July and August.
The atmosphere and the hours
Nikki Beach runs differently from a classic beach club: activity peaks in the afternoon and carries on late, with regular events in high season. That shifts the transport question. Where most of Pampelonne empties around 7pm, here departures spread much later, at an hour when transport supply in the area has become almost non-existent. The return cannot be improvised.
Plan the return from the outset
We always recommend agreeing the return when booking the outbound run. Two arrangements work: a pickup time fixed in advance, or a chauffeur at disposal for the day and evening, with the driver staying in the area. The second is the more flexible if you do not know when you will leave — which, at Nikki Beach, is usually the case.
