Oustau Camarguen ★★★★

Step into paradise like you’ve never imagined it before on a wild and wonderful break to Camargue. Feel instantly soothed as you stroll along the sandy beaches and watch the tall grass dancing in the breeze. The area is flooded with nature spots and has the edge when it comes to doing things differently in the Mediterranean. Wildlife includes flamingos, bulls, and prancing white horses which live in the surrounding wetlands and salt flats. The region is also known for its kite surfing scene, with many hailing it the most beautiful spot for the sport in all of France.

Oustau Camarguen hotel fits perfectly into the magic with its intimate setting and traditional features including rustic wooden stable doors and painted beams decorating the ceiling. Choose from one of 40 rooms and suites decorated in fresh white tones with splashes of blue and sunshine yellow.

Take advantage of the hotel’s spa where you can unwind with a hammam or a soak in the hot tub. Then relax even further with a gentle dip in the swimming pool, or an outdoor massage treatment under the shade of the olive trees.

The hotel is a stone’s throw from the beach which is speckled with restaurants overlooking the harbour. While the surrounding area boasts plenty of sights and activities such as horse riding, cycling, sailing, and hiking through the Camargue. Warm and friendly staff are on hand to point you in the right direction, depending on your taste.

For a gourmet dining experience, there is no need to look further than the hotel restaurant – La Table de l’Oustau – which serves delicious Provençal and Mediterranean flavours indoors or outside on the verdant patio. There is also a range of conference rooms for those looking for an event abroad or away from home.
