Feet in the water,

a star in the firmament

Facing the Bay of Rènecros, the Hotel Thalazur Bandol - Île Rousse

unfolds its five-star setting on a site steeped in history, once

frequented by Mistinguett and a source of inspiration for the

Lumière brothers. Set literally at the water's edge, the establishment

elegantly combines contemporary architecture with Provençal

minerality, offering at every moment a view over the crystalline

waters of the Mediterranean.

The house features 67 rooms and suites (including 47 with sea view

and balcony), each expressing a discreet refinement, where the most

accomplished comfort engages in dialogue with a palette inspired

by the infinite blues of the open sea, extending the sensation of

horizon into the very intimacy of the spaces.

Below, an exceptional marine spa, accessible directly by elevator,

invites a sensory immersion drawn from the heart of Mediterranean

benefits. Thalassotherapy treatments, rituals and moments of pure

relaxation for two compose a holistic experience, extended by a

heated seawater infinity outdoor pool, a luminous solarium and

privileged access to the beach. Here, everything is fluidity: from

treatment to bath, from rest to contemplation.

The highlight of the year, the gourmet restaurant Les Oliviers has

been awarded a star in the Michelin Guide. At the helm, executive

chef Martin Féragus composes a Mediterranean score that is both

sensitive and deeply rooted in its terroir, elevating locally caught

fish, vegetables from the Var and exceptional olive oils. Alongside

him, pastry chef Fleur Féragus, surrounded by an entirely female

brigade, orchestrates creations of finely chiseled delicacy, where

technical precision is adorned with poetry. A partner duo in life as in

the kitchen, offering a perfect balance between savory and sweet.

For a more relaxed atmosphere, the Bistrot Lumière offers a refined

interpretation of bistronomy cuisine, always facing the sea.

Committed to an environmental approach and certified with the

Clef Verte (Green Key) label, Île Rousse cultivates an understated art

of luxury, sublimated by the unique light of Bandol and the timeless

sweetness of Mediterranean living.
