Polynesian styled beach huts, 5 mins drive from St Tropez

Screen Shot 2020-08-14 at 5.29.08 AM

Situated directly on the vast sandy beach of Pampelonne, a short distance from Saint Tropez, Kon Tiki resort provides you the illusion of traveling to white Polynesian sands. I would have preferred to take a long haul flight in normal years and explore the original version. Enter COVID-19, and this has suddenly become the next best thing.

Pampelonne beach is world-famous for its beach restaurants like Club Les Palmiers, my personal favorite, Club 55, Nikki Beach, or Cabane Bambou. The Kon Tiki resort is installed directly on the waterfront with many huts right onto the sand, so you can easily access these establishments and experience the party atmosphere of the Cote d’Azur in high season.

I stayed in a Tiki Hut with a view over the vineyards, which is all about privacy and a more subdued ambiance. They feature quirky and summery interiors and even have a jacuzzi styled pool. I quite liked the headboards in the master and the kid’s room, very crafty in style.

It is no secret that Paris has been the capital of fashion since the seventeenth century. The city has been the playground for prestigious designers and couture brands like Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent. Today the Parisian style is not only an aesthetic choice but a philosophy. It embraces elegance, timelessness, and slow responsible fashion. The focus is on the cut and the quality of the materials. No fluff or excessiveness with a less is more approach. And what better way to understand Parisian fashion than to visit a museum dedicated to it.

For more than 70 years, the house has been crafting magical couture pieces in their atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Christian Dior has made this location a legendary address since the first collection in 1947. Behind its new flagship, the House of Dior inaugurates a permanent exhibition in an extraordinary gallery, independently of its boutique. Mr. Dior wanted to be an architect; the building and the museum pay him a beautiful tribute today.

The staging is astonishing. A circular staircase at the entrance showcases 452 dresses and 1,422 accessories, all 3D printed. Bags, shoes, perfumes, and small objects: so many testimonies of the Dior style materialized to elaborate this Diorama.
