Vila de la Mar Hôtel & Spa ★★★★

Vila de la Mar & Spa knows how to make a good first impression. On entering, you’re greeted by a wood-lined corridor with rich green ferns covering the walls, where the boutique décor throughout, echoes the spectacular scenery it inhabits. The hotel is surrounded by the Camargue Regional Nature Park, blessed with beautiful landscapes and diverse wildlife, and less than ten minutes away from the magnificent Parc Ornithologique de Pont-de-Gau, with many fascinating species of birds to discover.

At the restaurant, delight your taste buds with traditional French cuisine, elevated with a few Asian influences, and prepared from high-quality fresh local produce. Dine in the comfort of the dining room or out on the open terrace, overlooking the illuminated swimming pool, before moving to one of the quirky horn and buffalo skin armchairs in the lounge bar. Later, be sure to unwind in the fitness centre, before exploring the range of treatments and massages available at the spa.

The historic town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is surrounded by water and has an active little harbour, giving the town a quaint yet authentic atmosphere. Simple, whitewash houses line the picturesque streets, whilst the imposing fortified church, an important place of pilgrimage, dominates in the centre. The strong gypsy culture is felt through the presence of flamenco music, dress, and dance, while traditions of bullfighting live on at the arena. This rich culture and unspoilt wilderness awaits you at Vila de la Mar & Spa.
