Zannier HotelsMediterranean island outpost

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Delos recalls the modernist influence on the mid-century Côte d’Azur, Soukana takes a pared-down back-to-nature approach...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The car-free island sits a seven-minute boat crossing from Bandol, bordered by rugged limestone coves and open Mediterranean waters.
The rooms
Suites in Delos feature retro Riviera palettes, while Soukana offers terracotta wabi-sabi finishes and Madrague occupies restored fishermen houses.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers and red fringed umbrellas line the curved outdoor pool looking out across the Mediterranean.
The spa and gym
A spiral staircase sweeps into the indoor relaxation pool, set beside a 24-hour fitness studio and treatment rooms.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Le Grand Large
Arched windows look straight out to sea, where guest chefs serve seasonal Mediterranean menus on the rocky shore.
The accommodation is divided into three blocks, each with its own distinct vibe: In Delos, the zesty white, ocher, and powder blue-themed rooms...
At the table
Eight dining venues span the island, from wood-fired sharing plates at Nonna Bazaar to cocktail lounges facing the harbor.
How it began
Pastis pioneer Paul Ricard bought the island in 1950, creating a bohemian artistic playground that his family recently revived.
