Bandol is a seaside resort in Var, on the Mediterranean coast, known for its harbour, beaches and vineyards. You can easily explore the centre on foot from the hotel; shopping streets slope down towards the harbour and seafront. The town’s pace changes with the seasons: summer draws visitors keen on swimming and boating, while milder spring and autumn days are well suited to walks.

Renécros Beach is 300 m away and is one of the popular coves for swimming. Bandol train station, 150 m away, makes it easy to travel along the coast. Boats from the harbour take you to Bendor Island, while Eden Roc Beach and Barry Beach offer other spots by the sea. Inland, the Bandol vineyards offer the chance to discover the appellation’s red, rosé and white wines. Toulon-Hyères Airport is 31 km away; Marseille Provence Airport is 52 km away.

For a day by the water, you can alternate between swimming, a stroll around the harbour and exploring the small beaches dotted along the coast. Hikers can explore the coastal paths and rocky landscapes in the area; bring sturdy shoes and water on hot days. The Calanques of Cassis make for a longer excursion, with walking routes and boat trips. In summer, expect more people along the seafront; spring and the quieter season after summer often offer pleasant conditions for exploring the area.
