Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Île Rousse Thalazur

A view straight over the saltwater infinity pool to the (private) beach and sea beyond greets you at this luxury hotel-spa two steps from Bandol's port. Rooms are sleek and contemporary without sacrificing any of the comforts you'd expect from a five-star hotel. But it's the sweeping sea views from your bed and terrace that steal the show. Streamlined bathrooms, some with both tub and shower, are ample and stocked with luxury products. The well-equipped thalasso (seawater) spa, with a bright indoor pool, offers a full range of renewing treatments focused on water, from single treatments to weeklong programs designed according to your wants and needs.
