A one-of-a-kind private island on the Côte d'Azur — the featured property I reach for when clients want the Riviera without the scene.
Just off the coast of Bandol on the French Riviera sits a tiny private island with an outsized history. Île de Bendor was once the personal retreat of pastis magnate Paul Ricard, who spent decades filling it with gardens, art, and a distinctly southern-French sense of leisure.
Zannier Hotels has reimagined the entire island as a one-of-a-kind resort — honey-stone villages, a working harbor, a spa built into the rock, and some of the best sunset views on the Côte d'Azur. The island unfolds across two garden villages, Delos and Soukana, each with its own pool and its own personality, connected by footpaths and electric buggies.
It's a featured property on my list, and the kind of booking where the details matter: the right village, the right suite, and the right season change the entire experience. That's what I handle.
Work with me and you get two things: Fora perks, and someone who knows Île de Bendor personally. As a Fora advisor, my clients receive a space-available upgrade, daily breakfast, and a $100 USD equivalent food & beverage credit. I know the property and the team, so I personalize your stay, from the room I request to what’s arranged before you arrive, and I’m your direct line to them while you’re there. Rates are identical to booking direct.
Île de Bendor is a featured property on my list for a reason. Let me match you to the right suite, time it to the right season, and build the rest of the Riviera trip around it.
