So close Île des Embiez
Meet at the pier in the port of Le Brusc, Six-Fours-les-Plages. The boat awaits you for a ten-minute crossing, during which the landscapes and blue Mediterranean act as a decompression chamber before your arrival in this beautiful natural setting.
Welcome to the village of Les Embiez
You disembark on the port, in the heart of the Mediterranean village. There are no cars here: you can get around on foot or by bike. Les Embiez’s shops and restaurants welcome you for lunch in the sun and souvenir shopping. In summer evenings, the peaceful village square comes alive.
To do or not to do…
The island can be enjoyed à la carte, and lends itself equally well to lounging on its intimate beaches and to leisure activities. Yoga under the pines, scuba diving, wine tasting at the winery, kayaking and paddle boarding along the coast: Les Embiez is sure to whet your appetite.
Our advice
At many times of the year, the boat crossing is offered when you book a table at one of the island’s restaurants. A unique opportunity to combine pleasures: admire the sunset from the island of Grand Rouveau, feast at one of the island’s executive chef’s tables or take a bath after work.
