Our favourite rooms
Any of the Deluxe Suites (the equivalent of junior suites with more lounge space and generous balconies) get our vote – each individually decorated to owner Marion Dufaur’s taste. Ground-floor Deluxe Suite, Marius, feels more like a studio rental, with its own entrance and a sizable plant-fringed terrace beside the pool. Families will love the connecting set-up of the hotel’s Deluxe Family Suite.
Poolside
Beside the lounge-diner, parasol-shaded sunloungers edge Le Martin’s heated saltwater pool (open day and night, but unattended), which has step entry beside a mid-pool planter of palm trees that seemingly jut out of the water.
Spa
There’s no spa at Le Martin Boutique Hotel, but staff are happy to arrange yoga or personal-training sessions on request.
Packing tips
Your balmy coastal surroundings call for colour – vivid or pale – and toothpaste whites; leave your darker threads at home.
Also
The hotel hosts themed dinners once or twice a week. And if you’d like Le Martin to yourselves, you can book the hotel in its entirety for exclusive use (speak to your Smith travel specialist).
Children
The intimate nature of this boutique stay means it’s better suited to couples, but under-18s are welcome and the hotel’s happy to arrange daycare or babysitting. There’s a two-bedroom family suite and extra beds can be added to some suites.
