The best hotels in Cassis

What are the best hotels in Cassis?

This tiny fishing port has plenty of charming guesthouses, characterful boutique hotels and vineyard hideaways, but for us, one place in particular stands out above the rest. Les Roches Blanches is a glamorous five star hotel occupying a former 19th century mansion just beyond the marina. It's located in a superb spot between Cassis village and the Calanques, with uninterrupted views towards Cap Canaille. The Art Deco interiors, two swimming pools, serene spa, excellent restaurants and polished service make it feel properly luxurious without losing that easygoing Mediterranean spirit. It’s also a two-MICHELIN-Key hotel, which rather confirms our feeling that this is the best address in town.

Cassis is a beautiful destination for a seaside escape or a food and wine-focused holiday. Laid-back harbour side strolls promise pastel-painted houses and an array of great cafés and seafood eateries for people-watching before or after brilliant boat trips. The Cassis Market has a lively buzz and brims with fresh produce, whilst the little tourist train zips through town to take in all the key sights. Keen beachgoers should head to pebbled Plage du Corton, Plage de l’Arène or Plage de la Grande Mer for swimming and sunbathing within sight of the region’s dramatic limestone cliffs. You’ll also find ample opportunities to sail and kayak beyond the Calanques National Park — known for its narrow inlets framed by steep rock walls.
