Our top 8 on our map
On the Ile d’Oléron, things to see and do are spread out all over the island. We therefore advise you to choose central accommodation, so you can get to the various points of interest easily and close to the ocean.
In our opinion, the best place to stay is on the coast, close to La Cotinière or Saint-Pierre, where you’ll have easy access to one of the great beaches of the wild coast, and you’ll be able to take advantage of the many night-time activities in high season.
If you really want to be at the center of Oléronaise life, we recommend the village of Saint-Pierre or Dolus-d’Oléron, where you can enjoy the many restaurants and markets while being only a few kilometers from the beaches.
