Ile des Embiez
About
Ile des Embiez, a 95‑hectare private island in the Mediterranean off the coast of Six‑Fours‑les‑Plages in the Var department, offers a unique blend of nature, luxury accommodations, and a wide array of activities. Accessible by daily ferry from Le Brusc and, in summer, from Sanary‑sur‑Mer, the island features an array of hotels, suites, and apartments – starting at €119 per night – as well as family‑friendly sports, paddle‑boarding, tennis, pétanque, and hiking trails through pine forests and rocky coves. The island hosts cultural events such as exhibitions of the Paul Ricard Oceanographic Institute, a small train, and seasonal festivals that showcase local cuisine and music. With a strict environmental policy, Blue‑Flag beaches, and a crater‑size vineyard producing Côtes de Provence wines, the island provides a tranquil, car‑free retreat for couples, families, and nature lovers seeking sun, sea, and a touch of Provençal hospitality.
