La Presqu’île de Saint Mandrier, a luxury campsite in Toulon
At the gateway to Saint Mandrier sur Mer and opposite Toulon, the La Presqu’île de Saint Mandrier campsite opens its cosy cocoon, occupying a pine forest 400 metres from the Sainte Asile beach. A member of the Marvilla Parks group, this establishment has everything needed for you to have a perfect holiday by Europe’s loveliest natural harbour!
An enchanting interlude on the Saint Mandrier sur Mer campsite
On the La Presqu’île de Saint Mandrier campsite, the holiday rental offering consists of mobile homes, able to accommodate from 2 to 6 persons. These are classified by category, ranging from the “Classic” to the “Confort” (Comfort) to the “Premium” mobile homes. Those in the “Classic” range are 500 metres away from the beach, whilst those in the “Confort” category are, above all, functional and well equipped. The “Premium” mobile homes are air-conditioned and have numerous other advantages. Lastly, the “Ultimate” chalets are the ultimate in accommodation on the campsite. Luxurious and contemporary, they come with an “Exclusive” package having Wi-Fi, sheets, towels, a television and end-of-stay cleaning.
The Var being one of the most sun-drenched departments in France, the campsite’s recently renovated water park allows swimmers to get a good dose of it! Here there is a large heated swimming pool, paddling pool for very young swimmers, and water slides for the most foolhardy. All around the pools, sunloungers set up in the sun and shade enable you to relax, whilst watching your children playing in the water or on the nearby playground.
The campsite children's club accommodates youngsters aged 6 to 13 every morning and afternoon in the high season for play, sports and creative activities. Young holidaymakers can make the most of the climbing wall, play each other at table-tennis, and borrow board games for family fun. Come the evening, concerts, karaoke nights, theme meals, dance evenings and shows for the entire family are on the programme.
A relaxing and fun stay on the Côte d'Azur
Adults can also make the most of their stay to look after themselves. In July and August, the activity leaders provide aquafun and morning warm-up sessions. Sports tournaments also take place here at least once a week. Lastly, from La Presqu’île de Saint Mandrier, you can walk through the pine trees to the Saint Asile beach, for a swim in the clear waters of the Mediterranean, sea kayaking trip or a session of idleness on the sand.
The campsite grocery enables holidaymakers to buy essentials, fruit and vegetables and fresh bread and other provisions. You can even order a takeaway pizza here. This establishment in Toulon harbour also has an ice cream shop, perfect for gourmet snacks, bar for an apéritif with friends and restaurant to enjoy a family dinner on the terrace.
The bike hire service catering for children and adults enables you to explore the Saint-Mandrier peninsula, the harbour, beaches and green spaces lining the coastal footpath. The most intrigued can go around the peninsula’s southern side and climb aboard a pointu, a traditional Provençal fishing boat in the region, for a trip along the Côte d’Azur.
The Var, a land of culture and countryside
The gem of the Var coast, the Iles d'Or archipelago (the Golden Islands), brings together the three islands of Porquerolles, Port Cros and Le Levant. Porquerolles, the largest of these, has the loveliest beaches. Port Cros, the wildest and most protected, is a national park which has preserved an exceptionally rich land and marine environment. Lastly, the Le Levant island is the birthplace of naturism, and the village of Héliopolis is an ode to nature, sunshine and contemplation.
Not far from Toulon and the campsite, the road to Marseille enables you to discover the fabulous calanques (fjord-like inlets) in Cassis, where the abrupt cliffs plunge into emerald-coloured waters. You can also admire the creeks from the sea, by hiring a motor boat for the day.
Lastly, staying on the La Presqu’île de Saint Mandrier campsite provides the chance to treat yourself to a guided tour of Toulon harbour, the loveliest in Europe and discover its famous military port, housing the Marine Nationale (French navy) buildings. You can also discover the fortifications, mussel beds in the Baie du Lazaret and marine cemetery. Thanks to the cable car, you can enjoy a panoramic view over the town from the Mont Faron mountain.
