Embiez Island

Home to 90% of the Mediterranean’s native species, Paul Ricard’s Île des Embiez boasts a wealth of flora and fauna. Its untamed beauty is both its most surprising and most cherished feature: coves, reefs, pine forests, and scrubland, flowers, and vineyards. Whether on foot, by bike, or aboard the little train, the island’s spectacular views and natural diversity offer a unique experience…

The island is also known for its Paul Ricard Oceanographic Institute, which houses an aquarium. The best diving spots in the entire region are located off the coast of Les Embiez, between the island of Grand Rouveau and the Magnons rocks. (Round-trip adult fare: €20)
