Private jet to Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez by private jet: La Môle is a small airfield, with Nice and Toulon–Hyères as alternatives. Here is how to choose.
Which airports
- La Môle – Saint-Tropez (LFTZ): a few kilometres from the town, for light jets and helicopters.
- Toulon–Hyères (LFTH): accepts larger jets, about an hour by road.
- Nice (LFMN): the main Riviera airport, with a transfer by road or helicopter.
When to go and when to book
From June to September, demand is very high and approvals can be limited. Book as early as possible.
Good to know before booking
- Tell us how many passengers and which aircraft: the La Môle runway is short.
- Say whether a boat or helicopter will meet you on arrival.
The three airports compared
Distances and times are approximate and depend on traffic and on the exact address.
