2025 Hyeres Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Notre Dame Beach on Porquerolles is the definition of “wish you were here.” Picture a long curve of white sand framed by turquoise water and shady pines — it’s pure postcard stuff. The walk or cycle there makes the first glimpse even sweeter. No noisy bars or crowds, just the sound of waves and the scent of eucalyptus drifting on the breeze. Pack a picnic, kick off your shoes, and let the day drift by. Honestly, it’s one of those beaches you’ll think about long after you’ve left. #mediterranean #beach #france

#summervacay While tourists flock to Nice and Cannes, savvy summer travelers head to Hyères, a hidden gem tucked between Marseille and Saint-Tropez. This sun-kissed southern French town offers everything you’d expect from the Côte d’Azur — turquoise seas, medieval charm, and vibrant markets — minus the overwhelming crowds. Stroll through its cobbled old town with bougainvillea draping every balcony, or sip rosé in an open-air café as cicadas sing in the heat. The nearby Giens Peninsula is perfect for coastal walks and windsurfing, while the Îles d’Hyères (Golden Islands) are a dreamy escape of wild beaches and crystalline waters. It’s South of France serenity at its finest — chic, slow, and unforgettable. Don’t just follow the crowd; follow the sun to Hyères. #staycation #trip #europe #travel #beachlife #seascapes

I have been in Porquerolles few times and never get tired of it’s natural beauty. The sea shades of blue melts my hearts. It is a real calling for nice summer days. The cigars singing goes well with the Scenarium. It can be too crowded during summer but anyway, it remains one of my favorite places for a dive and some fresh drinks! Next summer, there is no other choice than the pretty ##Porquerole 💘
