A magical, secluded, and naturally protected place.

It's important to understand that such a place requires respect for itself and its unique way of life, as self-sufficiency has its own rules and requirements!

Ambalao is located in a protected area and is an oasis of calm and raw beauty.

Far from prying eyes and the tourist crowds, you'll be immersed in the heart of unspoiled nature, a true haven of peace, surrounded by wild hills, cork oak forests, and Mediterranean scrubland.

Each morning, you'll wake up to the sound of cicadas and the gentle warmth of the Mediterranean air.

Every night, you'll drift off to sleep in absolute tranquility under a sky ablaze with stars!

A perfect place to disconnect and recharge, while being close to the legendary beaches of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

An eco-friendly and self-sufficient stay, respectful of the environment:

Ambalao is an eco-friendly retreat that operates entirely on self-sufficiency. Thanks to its solar panels and the pure water from its spring, this haven offers modern comforts while respecting the environment.

Out of respect for the nature that welcomes us here, we use only eco-friendly toiletries and cleaning products, which we will also provide for your use during your stay.

Here, you can savor every moment, knowing that you are in harmony with nature.

Absolute tranquility, unparalleled serenity:

or let the breeze lull you in the large hammock suspended in the shade of two cork oaks.

Ambalao invites you to slow down, to take the time to savor every moment: pick fruit in the orchards, herbs or tomatoes in the vegetable garden, share a meal with family or friends around a large wooden table, or simply gaze at the stars in a perfectly clear sky, far from any light pollution.

A playground for nature and adventure lovers:

At Ambalao, adventure begins right at your doorstep.
Hikers and mountain bikers will revel in the miles of trails that crisscross the surrounding hills. A total immersion in breathtaking nature, both pristine and wild.
