Long sandy beaches, vineyard-covered hills, and views toward the Îles d’Or give this part of the Var a slower, sunnier rhythm. It’s a place where sea days, scenic walks, and local wine all fit easily into the same trip.

La Londe-les-Maures, on the Var coast facing Porquerolles and Port-Cros, sits between the Mediterranean and the Massif des Maures. The setting makes it especially appealing if you want a destination that combines beaches, nature, and easy outdoor activities without the intensity of bigger Riviera resorts.

The coastline offers wide sandy beaches, pine shade, and access to a beautiful coastal path for walks with sea views. Inland, the landscape shifts to vineyards and wooded hills, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling, and wine tasting. The port area opens the door to boat trips and water sports, while local markets and terrace restaurants add to the relaxed Provençal feel.

La Londe-les-Maures also works well as a base for exploring the southern Var, especially if you want to mix beach time with nature, local food, and island views.

👉 Local Tip: Come for an early seaside walk, then stay for lunch with local rosé. The light is especially beautiful in the morning, when the coast is calmer, and the islands stand out clearly offshore.
