The small road isn’t a straight one. As it winds its way under the pine trees, it’s so modest that you’ll be asking yourself “is this definitely where we were supposed to turn”? But any doubts soon fade in front of the first villas of the domain as you cross over the wooden bridge. On the island, a large Mediterranean-style house stands before you, surrounded by the lagoon’s quiet waters and greenery. The nearby seaside town of Saint-Cyprien fades from memory as each second passes. When you arrive in the hall, you’ll be sure of one thing... You’ve finally found that change of scenery you were looking for.
Inside the house, the bedrooms’ decorative schemes are inspired by the prestigious Riva vessels for a yachting-themed atmosphere harmoniously combining wood, white leather and turquoise shades. Each of the 30 “comfort” or “luxury” class bedrooms is bathed in sunlight… including the glazed bathroom. Over in the Newport pavilion, you can enjoy a Hamptons feel, reminiscent of the East Coast of the United States, including a relaxed and stylish decorative scheme, dark wood and light colours, along with a terrace offering a panoramic view over the lagoon… The villas for rent, adjacent to the hotel, offer an environment of natural elegance and woody tones.
L’Almandin enjoys a reputation as a gastronomic venue throughout Perpignan and the Languedoc-Roussillon area. The chef, Frédéric Bacquié, favours the Mediterranean terroir and local flavours.
The most important thing in life: feeling well. The modern day obsession with keeping up appearances is something which ensures that we often can’t drop the mask, relax and just be ourselves around others. We’re forced to hold back, and to sacrifice our own wellness and sometimes even our own health. The Ile de la Lagune’s spa is a haven of peace, a welcome refuge where you can finally enjoy some “me” time, recover your self-confidence and find the energy to get going again.

It’s a small hotel in Saint-Cyprien. The story of a family and of a rather crazy idea: to create a place where people simply feel good, and a house where they can relax with friends and family, enjoying the passage of time, cut off from the rest of the world. And to hide it all away on an island. It’s a well-kept secret, a memory shared with friends, a half-whispered address, a house where they hand you the keys with a warm smile: “Make yourself at home and enjoy your stay”.

Staying in Saint-Cyprien is a get-away into a preserved environment on the Mediterranean coastline. The unique blend of natural coastline and exceptional hinterland.
