Veranda Paul & Virginie

Top choice in The North


The longest-established hotel in Grande Gaube is a pleasant surprise. It's small enough not to be overwhelming, yet offers all the amenities required for luxury: two pools, a couple of restaurants, a Seven Colours spa, plenty of activities and a kids club. The spacious four-star rooms, all with sea views, are stylishly fitted out and there's a small but attractive beach.
