Parc Highlights

  • A lovely parc with a stunning pool area

  • Just a short drive from the coast and lots of lovely coves

  • The forest around the parc is ideal for hiking and biking

While the parc is picturesque in its own right, it’s the surrounding views and walks that take your breath away.

This first rate, steeply terraced parc with it’s ochre buildings blends into the scenery so well that when you first set eyes on the glorious swimming pools, they create a quite startling contrast. And with the heated, jungle themed children’s pool, its even better. Esterel really is a perfect holiday location, with an excellent restaurant and disco on the parc and a night club and golf courses close by. The Esterel hills, with their wooded slopes and pink outcrops, are also truly breathtaking. It’s an ideal spot for nature lovers, with many superb walks, from gentle strolls to robust hikes. For more sophisticated pleasures, you are also just a couple of miles drive through a wooded valley to Agay, with its pavement cafés and sandy beach.

*Please be aware that access to the facilities from some areas of the site are up a steep hill and therefore not suitable for people with mobility problems.

Customer tips

Local recommendations and tips our customers have shared with us following their holiday at Esterel.

"We enjoyed Grasse and the Tortoise Sanctuary (La Valle des Tortues) - excellent for nature-loving kids."
M. Shand, Midlothian

"As we were holidaying with a 2 year old we needed safe and sandy beaches close by - one in particular was Plage de la Baumette which had a café, sunbeds and free parking nearby. Would recommend Maobi Plage for a lovely seaview lunch and great italian ice cream at St Maxime."
N. Pickett-Groen, London

"The Riviera is great, but for us the star are the Gorges du Verdon."
T. Torrison, Kent

"St Tropez was beautiful and nicer than we'd expected. Frejus was a lovely town with nice historical sites and places to eat."
F. Scott, Cheshire
