The wonderful Iles d'Or, made up of the island of Porquerolles, Levant and Port Cros, lie off the coast of Hyères, and are true gems of the Mediterranean. These protected islands have been given National Park status. These sparsely populated islands are perfect for cycling around, or hiking, or for something a little less strenuous, they are surrounded by sandy beaches and coves with turquoise waters which are ideal for swimming, snorkeling or SCUBA diving.
Saint Tropez is a small village with a big reputation. Made famous by Brigitte Bardot in the 1950's, this sleepy little town was transformed into a chic, hedonist celebrity spot each summer. It is still as chic as ever, a luxury location with extraordinary villas, boutique hotels, designer shops and luxury yachts lining the quaint old town. Not forgetting its beautiful beaches, such as Pampelonne, where you can experience the best clubs and restaurants all summer long.
Bonporteau Bay is a beautiful location to moor, with crystal clear waters and a sandy beach for sunbathing and relaxing
Perched between Le Levant and Porquerolles, Port Cros is the smallest of the three golden islands (known locally as the Iles d’Or, just off the coast of Hyeres. Despite being just a kilometre long and 3km wide, Port Cross is home to no less than five forts paying homage to the island's defensive history. Since the early sixties, Port Cros swapped it’s military meaning to become a national park. The whole island is rich in rocky creeks, cliffs, clear diamond bright waters, towering green oak forests, and golden swept sandy beaches. Along with awe-inspiring backdrops, Port Cross boasts no less than 600 different terrestrial plant species, 144 species of birds, and 180 colourful kinds of fish. Snorkelling, hiking, and visiting the tiny inhabited village set in the pink curve of the island make Port Cros a one of a kind place to be.
