Our Best Ideas

Discover our ideas for a romantic stay in La Ciotat: Calanques, sunsets, great restaurants and experiences for two. Between the sea, the Calanques and Mediterranean gentleness, La Ciotat is an ideal destination for reconnecting as a couple.

Start the day without rushing: breakfast on the terrace, a few laps in your heated private pool, or a brunch delivered by our partner. Then head to the historic centre, with its lanes, shops, Old Port and markets. Our favourite addresses are waiting for you in the travel guide sent after each booking.

For wilder scenery, head to the calanques of Mugel and Figuerolles, overlooked by the Bec de l’Aigle. The coast also reveals itself from the sea, aboard a sailboat at sunset or a skippered boat. Our partners offer several experiences, presented in our guide.

At the end of the day, take the Route des Crêtes: its viewpoints offer spectacular views over the bay, Cap Canaille and Cassis, perfect for a champagne aperitif at sunset. After watching the sun go down, head to Cassis for dinner at one of our recommended restaurants. Just remember to check whether the road is open and to book your table well in advance.

Another day, make the most of your stay to visit the medieval village of Le Castellet, or set out on a romantic skippered boat trip in the calanques with lunch on an island. Back at your villa at L’Amarantine, extend the getaway with a couples’ massage in our cabin or in your private garden, a yoga class, or a dinner prepared by a chef in your villa.

A few candles, a glass of wine and your pool all to yourselves: all that’s left is to book your stay for two.
