The preserved beauty of a naturel jewel
The archipelago of the Îles d’Or
Porquerolles is the largest territory of Îles d’Or archipelago spreading from 7km long and 3km wide. With more than 320 days of sunshine a year, it promises its visitors heat and exoticism. The climate invites you to relax and the village is the perfect embodiment of Provence.
A short boat ride is necessary to access Porquerolles. It will allow you to admire the ochre roofs of beautiful houses nested in the lush wild. From their arrival on our island, our visitors can use our land shuttles to get to the hotel: the schedule is regular and given with the booking confirmation email.
