Get-togethers with friends on the Ile de Ré

The breathtaking image of the beaches of Rivedoux welcoming you like two benevolent arms sets the scene. Whether you’re here for a weekend or just a few days, from the very first seconds you’ll feel relieved of your daily routine. It’s time to get away from it all and enjoy the island of Ré with friends!

A taste of life on the Ile de Ré

Fun, life and excitement

Where there’s an island, there’s a beach! On the island, water sports are the star activity. A great classic that combines fun and thrills, right from the start…we’re going for the wave! Play it like Kelly Slater or fly over the waves like Antoine Albeau. It’s well known that the island is a favorite with surfers, kitesurfers, windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts. You can also enjoy paddleboarding and the trendy Wind Foil. Whether you’re in Rivedoux, La Couarde or Le Bois-Plage, you can look forward to some great days on the water.
Between two sessions, you can play beach volleyball, molkky or frisbee on the sandy beaches…

To round off the day, let yourself be tempted by a gourmet picnic. On the menu: ocean views and, as a bonus, an escapist sunset!

Cyclingis another must-do activity on the island! The island of Ré can be explored in its entirety, or as you wish, from north to south. The landscapes revealed in the heart of the salt marshes are majestic. Take the opportunity to visit the Baleines lighthouse and contemplate the wilder northern beaches.
Take your time and enjoy!

Change your daily routine to the rhythm of the island

Ré is all about escape! What could be better than a boat trip with friends? From the Ile de Ré, you can visit the islands of Aix, Oléron and Fort Boyard. You can also take a catamaran, pleasure boat or semi-rigid outing.

It’s time to take a stroll through the island’s 10 villages, to enjoy the special atmosphere, discover the heritage, stores and markets, find the right places to whet your appetite or simply enjoy a drink.
The island of Ré is generous not only in terms of nature, but also in terms of local produce, which is sure to tantalize the taste buds of all gourmets. What better way to enjoy a succulent seafood platter than in an oyster shack or on a restaurant terrace, surrounded by your best friends?

When to come to the island with friends

If you want to enjoy your holiday with friends, it’s best to choose a stay outside school vacation periods, or over a weekend (or even an extended weekend for the lucky ones…). Of course, your choice depends above all on what you want to do. The island of Ré slows down outside the tourist season, suggesting a sense of calm.

Whatever the season, there’s always something to do!

A rejuvenating weekend between autumn and winter

Autumn is a time of transition, and coming to Ré at this time of year is a great way to prepare for the arrival of colder weather. As winter approaches, or when it’s well underway, you can indulge in a few days of disconnection with a thalasso stay, alternating energizing natural treatments with walks in the fresh air along the ocean.

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the opportunity to enjoy their favorite water sports, weather and tide permitting.
Even during this period, when time seems to slow down, nature excursions and escapades in the heart of the villages reveal a new side to their charm.

A week in the sun

As spring approaches, and right up to the Indian summer that sometimes graces us with its presence in September, you can plan a sunny week, outside the school vacations, with a dynamic atmosphere and plenty of opportunities. There’s no doubt about it, the island of Ré is a year-round experience!

Now that you’ve had a taste of the charms of life à la rétaise and the vacations are coming to an end, all that’s left to do is imagine the program for your next stay – on the Ile de Ré, of course!
