About Hyères

A picturesque walled town set upon a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Hyères is brilliant for an active family seaside holiday or a fun trip with friends. Marvel at the ruins of a medieval château, savour fresh produce at aromatic open-air markets, or try waterskiing and windsurfing on glittering azure waters. With Nice in one direction, Marseille in the other — and its own airport even closer — Hyères is easily accessible, and boasts a lovely range of accommodation options. Selected for their location, design and amenities, our pick of the best places to stay in Hyères offers something special for families, friends and romantic couples alike.

Settled by Greek traders more than two thousand years ago, Hyères sits near the ruins of the ancient town of Olbia — well worth visiting. History buffs will also be fascinated by the abandoned Hyères Castle, built by the Knights of Fos in the 11th Century, or by the striking Tour des Templiers. The Old Town’s tangled maze of streets are lined with Romanesque and Renaissance façades clad in flowering wisteria and magnolia, whilst the wide, palm-lined Belle Epoque avenues are ideal for leisurely strolls, ice cream in hand. Don’t miss the cafés and eateries of Place Massillon, the Marseille soap and spices on Rue Massillon or the market by the Porte de l'Horloge. For modernist architecture, head to Villa Noailles.

Keen sun-seekers and watersports enthusiasts can kite surf, wakeboard, scuba dive or wind surf from the beaches of Almanarre and Porquerolles, a few of kilometres from the town centre. Flamingos flock to the old salt works at Salins des Presquiers in season, and Port-Cros National Park — the smallest in France — is fantastic for scenic hikes. Come evening, unwind at one of the best places to stay in Hyères, where you’ll find welcoming bars and lively seafood restaurants.
