A picture-perfect French villa on enchanting Île de Ré
With its white walls, blue shutters and terracotta tiles, Le Clos Saint-Martin Hôtel & Spa oozes classic Île de Ré style. At first sight it’s a quintessential 18th-century French villa. Yet as you draw nearer, the quirky sculptures that pepper the manicured gardens hint at a contemporary haven within.
Settle in to your elegant room, where vintage-style furniture is brought firmly up to date with minimal, modern colour schemes. Spend the day swimming in the two outdoor pools, or lounging on the terrace. Treat yourself to an afternoon tea in the lounge, or a beauty treatment in the exclusive Spa by Clarins. As evening falls, have simple, seasonal meals brought to your suite – or stroll into town to sample the famous Île de Ré oysters.
