Embiez Islands

“What better than an island for dreaming” Paul Ricard.

Plan your day on the Embiez from Villa Hippocampe

Book your day at sea aboard Hippocampe’s Tender, reserved exclusively for your family. After a boat trip from cove to cove and a swim at Les Magnons, the rocks offshore, your host Jacques will drop you on the island of Les Embiez. You will discover this little natural paradise, the private property of Paul Ricard for 70 years. The magic of car-free islands, beaches and Provençal scrubland. Jacques will pick you up whenever suits you, for a memorable water-skiing or tubing session — or even after dinner if you fancy a night-time sail.

JACQUES' TIPS

Book your table at Le Barbecue, on land, or at the remarkable Sarti, on the water.

Don’t miss the walk around Port Saint-Pierre, lined with a series of illustrated panels — annotated artists’ photos tracing the life of Paul Ricard.
