Insider Tip
1/5

The underground heated passage between the hotel and the spa means you can go from your room to the pools without stepping outside — useful on cold or rainy days.

Why It Matters

One of France's few beachfront thalassotherapy resorts, and reportedly the country's first eco-responsible thalasso center. The spa's 1,700 m² complex connects directly to the hotel via underground, offering 30 treatment rooms and a full seawater hydrotherapy circuit. Chef Marion Lespine drives a hyper-local kitchen with 99% French-sourced produce.

A 4-star wellness resort on the southern coast of Île de Ré, sitting between Atlantic vineyards and a private stretch of beach. The whole property spreads across five private hectares facing due south — ocean on one side, vines on the other. Everything here is built around the Spa Marin, a 1,700 m² thalassotherapy center fully renovated in 2024 and connected to the hotel via a heated underground passage so you never have to brave the wind between your room and the pools.
