Le Fregate Provence**** Hotel and Golf

What Le Fregate Provence**** Hotel and Golf does

Le Frégate Provence is a privately held 4-star resort hotel and golf destination founded in 1992 and located on the heights of Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, between Marseille and Toulon on the French Mediterranean coast. The property integrates 160 keys across the main hotel and Les Bastides apartment residence, two golf courses (the 18-hole Frégate and 9-hole Frégalon), a Sothys-branded Spa de Frégate, five food and beverage outlets (La Restanque brasserie, Le Mas des Vignes bistronomic, Les Cascades poolside, Terrasse 18, Bar Le Swing), the on-site Domaine de Frégate Bandol wine estate, and 1,300+ m² of event space across 14 seminar rooms. It also operates outdoor pools, tennis, pétanque and hiking trails, and is recognized by Le Club Golf (Référence and Émotion labels) and FFGolf (Silver Biodiversity label).

The business generates revenue from six streams: accommodation, golf (green fees, tuition, passes, equipment), spa and wellness, food and beverage, corporate events and seminars, and prepaid gift boxes distributed via the Secret Box marketplace. Pricing is seasonal, with flash sales of up to 40% off and packaged offerings (e.g., Summer Privilege from €269/night, seminars from €249 per person). The resort sells primarily direct-to-consumer through its bilingual website, phone reservations and active social channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), with supplementary distribution via OTAs, Secret Box and a dedicated corporate sales function targeting MICE clients. CSR initiatives include Purezza on-site water microfiltration and sponsorship of a guide dog in training.

Operationally the resort employs 77 people and is led by newly appointed General Manager Marco Calderone, supported by a tenured operational team (Executive Chef Jérôme, Conference Director Frédéric Jan since 2007, Spa Manager Marie Muys, Golf Pro Gilles Potheau since 2020, Technical Director Alexandre Jacquot). The property serves leisure travelers, families, couples, corporate groups, golfers and wellness seekers across the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur market, and there are no disclosed public listings, parent companies, funding rounds or M&A transactions in the source data.
