Cap Esterel 3 Suns St Raphaël

Site no: RV031

Overview

At a Glance

View less

A rocky headland, carefully transformed into a patchwork of bright blue pools, lush green parkland and red-roofed holiday homes, that's Cap Esterel. Dramatic hills sweep down to a succession of emerald waters and sandy coves. Careful planning means that, away from the main artery in and out, there are plenty of traffic free spots to unwind and play. Similarly smart is the design for this excellent holiday village divided into two distinct areas. The 'Quartier du Hameau' is situated between Cap Esterel's main beach, Dramont, and the centre of the village, while the 'Quartier du Village' is, essentially, golf-central! A shimmering mixture of sun kissed pools, bright, well-thought out accommodation and lawns sweeping down to the coast, Cap Esterel is a traffic-free haven where the accent is on safe, hassle-free quality time with your family. From pony riding to flying trapeze lessons, you'll have no excuse to laze around. Well, not all the time.
