Le Phare
About
Le Phare Ile de Ré is a 4‑star open‑air hotel perched on the northern tip of the French island, just 50 m from the sandy beach. Surrounded by salt marshes and lush vegetation, the hotel offers an immersive nature experience with the comforts of a modern resort. Each accommodation is tastefully designed by local artists, and guests enjoy free linens, housekeeping, and a range of on‑site amenities. The property boasts heated indoor and outdoor pools, a kids’ playground, a child‑friendly club, a bike‑rental shop (Maison du Cycle), and a concierge team ready to facilitate tours, surfing, cycling and other outdoor activities. Guests can explore the island’s culture, history, and natural beauty without leaving the vicinity of the hotel. At night, the two on‑premises dining venues, restaurant Coucou and the Airstream bar, serve local and regional cuisine with a relaxed atmosphere. Coucou is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., while the Airstream bar welcomes guests each day from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., offering sunset cocktails over the salt marshes.
