Sports and leisure activities Ile de Noirmoutier

The 160^m2 wellness and beauty center is located on the road to L'Herbaudière. Subdued lighting, subtle fragrances and soft music are conducive to relaxation... For relaxation, there's a hammam and a sensory pool. The Thalgo brand takes pride of place. Traditional facial (anti-aging, radiance, hydration...) and body treatments (scrubs, seaweed wraps, light legs...), aesthetic facial and body massages (relaxing, energizing, pre-natal, foot reflexology...), before moving on to the relaxation area and herbal tea room.

You can reserve a court at the island's municipal tennis club, but here you'll be able to play a trendy sport from South America, Argentina in particular: padel. It's a cross between tennis and squash. It's played by 2 players on a court that's smaller than a tennis court and, above all, surrounded by walls, glass or wire mesh. Players can use the walls to send the ball over the net. Another special feature is that the rackets are made of rubber and have no strings, but are pierced with holes; and the ball is smaller in size.

Plage des Souzeaux is located in the northeast of the island of Noirmoutier, not far from Anse Rouge beach. In the pretty Bois de la Chaise district, you'll find small, sheltered coves overlooking the Baie de Bourgneuf. The Souzeaux beach is lined with majestic villas; together with the Anse Rouge beach, characterized by bathing cabins, they are very characteristic of the island. It's a little-known beach because it's not very accessible, but it has an intimate, privileged feel to it. A truly lovely beach.

This multi-sailing school is located on Plage des Dames, right next to La Potinière restaurant, and offers fully independent rental of catamarans, dinghies, sea kayaks, paddles and giant paddles. But if you're not up to speed with these nautical activities, you can also take private, introductory or advanced lessons with state-certified instructors (BPJEPS) in the following disciplines: paddle, catamaran and dinghy. Every Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., there's a supervised kayak trip.

Rent a boat and book a skipper, or if you have a boating license, rent without a skipper. For up to 12 passengers. A two-hour outing with three different itineraries: half-day, full-day or customized: the Boisé itinerary, the Grand Large itinerary or the Évasion itinerary, which offers a full-day outing to discover the Anse de la Madeleine, the Vieil and Mardi-Gras beaches, the Bois de la Chaise, its pretty coves and mythical beach cabins. Enjoy lunch in the shelter of the Ile du Pilier, before continuing your discovery of the island with the magnificent Luzéronde beach, the Pointe du Devin, the Port du Morin, the beaches of l'Épine and la Guérinière, their windmills and the Bois des Éloux. Fifth suggestion: an outing with aperitif (or even dinner) at sunset!

If you're interested in scuba diving, this facility offers several types of activities. You can start with a snorkeling tour. Equipment is provided on site. You'll see many species of fish, shellfish and crustaceans. For the first dive, you'll take a boat out to Pilier Island. You'll dive with an instructor for around 20 minutes in the water, at a depth of up to 6 m. We also offer the Discovery package. This course includes an introduction to diving in the sea and two dives to learn the basics of equipment, underwater movement and personal diving safety.

A great way to discover the island's coastline is by kayak (up to 4 people) on a guided tour. Discover the creeks, the estacade and the old villas of Bois de la Chaize. Self-bailing kayaks are ideal for comfortable paddling. Another activity you can enjoy thanks to Noirmoutier Évasion is paddleboarding, an activity open to all. The "Mission Aventure" activity is an original escape game, but with a nature version, a real adventure and treasure hunt that takes place 100% outdoors, through interactive investigations totally inspired by the island's history.
