The Terrasses du Bailli, tucked away between the sea and the sky on the edge of the Gulf of Saint Tropez, is the ideal spot for a refined, peaceful holiday. This outstanding hotel promises you a revitalising weekend with a blend of elegance, comfort and sightseeing. It’s a wonderful opportunity to unwind in the great outdoors while enjoying all the comforts of a prestigious hotel. Thanks to its very special location, the Terrasses du Bailli is so much more than a top-of-the-range hotel. Located in Rayol Canadel, it gives you the chance to try out a wide range of activities on a weekend break or longer holiday with a blend of relaxation and exploration.
But what is there to do in Rayol Canadel? There’s the beach, the island and port, not to mention parks, a public garden and a Provençal château, together with plenty of history, a botanical trail, hiking, and natural sites… And, among the many other things to do in the Var, a trip out to the Iles d’Or is an absolute must.
From the first moment you arrive at the hotel, surrender to the idea of an island getaway as you take the sea shuttle to the Iles d’Or. The sparkling water of the Gulf of Saint Tropez opens up as you cross to these islands in the Mediterranean.
Just a stone’s throw from Rayol Canadel, make for Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Levant, where a moment of magic awaits you. Go on a boat trip from the port of Le Lavandou, which you can easily reach from the Terrasses du Bailli hotel in a matter of minutes.
Each island has its own, one-of-a-kind appeal. Porquerolles charms visitors with its sandy beaches and coves; Port-Cros attracts diving enthusiasts with its superb snorkelling; and the Ile du Levant beguiles with its untamed natural environment.
No more than a stone’s throw from the hotel, Port-Cros National Park showcases its legendary hiking trails so you can soak up the splendours of this Mediterranean island with its unspoilt, untamed countryside. Vegetation typical of the Mediterranean flourishes along the paths, bringing to light breathtaking views of the azure sea. The Terrasses du Bailli hotel is an ideal starting point for these excursions as you set out on a hike with family or friends to discover the outstanding fauna and flora and hidden coves with their jaw-dropping views.
Diving enthusiasts will be delighted by how close Rocher du Rascas is to Port-Cros island. This famous rock, to the north of the island, forms part of Port-Cros National Park. Together with the island of Bagaud and the islet of Gabinière, it is incorporated into the wilderness reserve of the islets of Port-Cros. Although access is entirely off limits, this outstanding site – renowned for its abundant marine life – does invite you to explore the fascinating seabed. The underwater trail here is an experience like no other, guiding you through the mysteries of the clear waters of Port-Cros. It is like an underwater garden where you’ll discover a huge number of coral species, colourful fish and underwater reliefs that are postcard-perfect. These natural spaces and aquatic habitats in France are extremely rich.
Back at the hotel after a day full of thrills, sightseeing and adventure, the Terrasses du Bailli is the most alluring host. It’s a seaside hotel in the Var with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Saint Tropez and its beaches… not to mention a heated pool. The bedrooms, decorated with natural materials and warm tones, boast all the comfort you need for a weekend away or a longer break full of mellow relaxation. The private terraces invite contemplation, with the gentle murmur of the sea and the Mediterranean breeze rounding off this picture of tranquillity. The well-being treatments at the spa will help you de-stress a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
