Just 700 metres from the lively harbour of Port Joinville, Bleu Marine captures the easy rhythm of island life on the beautiful Île d’Yeu. Behind its whitewashed façade and bright blue shutters, this former fisherman’s cottage has been thoughtfully reimagined as a stylish coastal home where authentic character meets contemporary comfort. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive, with elegant interiors inspired by the colours and textures of the Atlantic coast.

Natural light fills the open-plan living space, creating an airy setting designed for relaxed days with family or friends. The cosy lounge invites quiet evenings after long walks along the shoreline, while the kitchen and dining area make gathering together effortless and sociable. Sleeping up to 8 guests, Bleu Marine features two comfortable double bedrooms, alongside a cheerful quad with bunk beds and a sofa bed, making it especially to families or a small group of friends seeking a laid back island escape.

Outside, a decked terrace with a jacuzzi, lounge area and outdoor dining space offers the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts, sunset aperitifs and al-fresco meals on warm summer evenings. With beaches, local shops and restaurants all within walking distance, days here can be as active or as restful as you choose.

Port Joinville remains the vibrant heart of Île d’Yeu, where colourful fishing boats bob gently in the marina and waterfront cafés spill onto sunny terraces. Wander through the harbour’s lively streets to discover fresh seafood restaurants, shops and bustling markets filled with local produce.

Beyond the port, Île d’Yeu reveals a landscape of rugged cliffs, pine forests and sandy coves, crisscrossed by scenic walking trails that showcase the island’s unspoilt beauty. The island is reached via ferry from the French mainland and bike hire is a wonderful way to explore.

Whether spent exploring hidden beaches, enjoying waterside lunches or simply unwinding in the jacuzzi after a day by the ocean, a stay at Bleu Marine offers an introduction to one of the Atlantic coast’s most treasured island escapes.
