Once you've found your room or suite, it's time to think about activities.

The Unique Hôtel Spa team has gone in search of the must-do activities to do during a weekend in the Var.

Romantic stay in the Var

Start your stay with a trip to the sea to reach the island of Porquerolles. Once there, discover all the treasures of this magical place on foot, by electric bike or tandem. During your walk, you will see the lighthouse, the church of Sainte-Anne, the mill of happiness, the garden of Emmanuel Lopez and the Carmignac foundation. If you want to recharge your batteries, put your towels on the beach of Courtade or the beach of Notre-Dame. Plan a whole day on this island, or on its little sister, much wilder, the island of Port-Cros.

Continue your weekend by visiting the castle of Roubine, a vineyard spread over no less than 130 hectares in Lorgues. For a few hours, visit the estate, the cellar, learn more about wine making and especially don't miss the opportunity to taste their classified wines.

Finally, opt for a bucolic stroll in the most beautiful villages of the Var. Among them, we recommend the villages of Bormes-les-Mimosas, Cotignac, Gassin, Le Castellet, la Cadière-d'Azur, Seillans and Saint-Tropez. You will leave with beautiful pictures in the colors of Provence.
