A resort on an entirely naturist island
La Fourmi du Levant sits on Ile du Levant, in the Heliopolis domain, about one kilometer from the beach. Here there's no need for a dedicated zone or set naturist hours, the whole island has worked that way for decades, which inevitably changes the mood compared to a simple mainland center.
The crowd is mixed, families and couples alike, and the welcome aims to be naturist without being preachy about it, as several visitors put it. In other words, people are naked because that's the whole point of the place, not because there are boxes to tick.
Studios with sea views
The venue offers independent self-catering studios, designed for two people, each with its own terrace. The panoramic view over the sea and the Hyeres islands comes up often in feedback, clearly one of the strong selling points of a stay here.
The self-catering setup leaves plenty of room to organize things your own way, handy for those who want to run their own schedule instead of depending on a classic hotel's hours.
Restaurant and panoramic terrace
La Fourmi du Levant also runs a restaurant-bar with its own terrace facing the Hyeres islands. The menu highlights carefully prepared seafood: blue lobster, razor clam tartare, confit salmon, fresh scallops, raw fish, with homemade desserts to finish the meal.
The hours are set: breakfast from 9am to 11am, aperitif from 6pm to 9pm, dinner from 8pm to 10pm, and lunch from noon to 2pm. Enough to plan your day on the island without any surprises at mealtime.
What regulars say
Reviews regularly point to the venue's distinctive location, the quality of the cooking and the efficiency of the service. Many describe it as a must for anyone staying on the island, both for the food and for the setting.
The panoramic view comes up in almost every comment, as does the naturist atmosphere, seen as open rather than closed in on itself. A point that matters for visitors coming to discover Ile du Levant without knowing the codes of full naturism beforehand.
