Embiez is a small private island 300 metres off the Provence coast at Six-Fours-les-Plages, between Marseille and Toulon. Bought in 1958 by Paul Ricard (founder of the pastis distillery), the island has been kept as a low-density mix of vineyards, an oceanographic research institute, and a single 720-berth marina that serves as the only structure visible from the mainland. The south coast holds rocky swimming platforms and small sand coves, with a path that circles the islet in under an hour. The shallow channel between Embiez and the mainland is itself a sheltered anchorage. Embiez is 30 minutes from Bandol and 90 minutes from Toulon. Season runs April through October.
Port des Embiez is the main harbor on Île des Embiez and serves as the gateway to the island. Visitors can stroll along the waterfront promenade, admire the colorful fishing boats and luxury yachts moored in the harbor, and enjoy a meal or drink at one of the waterfront restaurants and cafes. The port area also offers opportunities for boat trips, water sports, and sailing excursions around the island and the surrounding coastline.
Embiez is home to vineyards that produce high-quality wines, including rosé, white, and red varieties. Visitors can take guided tours of the vineyards, learn about the winemaking process, and sample a selection of wines at the island's wine cellars and tasting rooms. Wine enthusiasts can also purchase bottles of locally-produced wine to enjoy during their visit or take home as souvenirs.
The Nautic Passion nautical base on the island provides various water sports activities, including paddle boarding and canoeing. It's a fantastic way to explore the different creeks and beaches of the island. Additionally, Yoga Paddle classes are available several mornings a week, allowing you to enjoy relaxation on the water.
Allemands Beach on the Île des Embiez, located between the points of Rix and Gabrielle, is a popular destination for its easy access and family-friendly atmosphere. The beach features gravel and offers stunning views of the island of Grand Rouveau. The area is known for its wild environment and exceptional seabed, making it an ideal spot for those interested in exploring marine life. However, it's advisable to avoid swimming when the wind comes from the west due to strong currents.
