The hotel offers its guests 2 outdoor swimming pools, one of which is heated, and also offers yoga sessions, paddle boarding and bike hire.
Hatha Yoga is the most widely practised form of yoga. It’s the art of refocusing on yourself, exploring and broadening your limits, becoming able to really relax while remaining yourself. Gentle posture exercises combined with breath control. This asanas/pranayama combination brings body and mind together to soothe mental fluctuations and encourage a feeling of harmony and completeness. By learning to find your centre in a yoga posture, you’re also learning to find the happy medium in other areas of life.

The Saint-Cyprien Golf Resort is a rarity in France: a 27-hole “links” offering a sporting and technical challenge and breath-taking views. The two courses (9 and 18 holes) meander between the wilderness of a lagoon lined with reeds and the soothing atmosphere of a wood planted with pine, plane, Russian olive and eucalyptus trees.
Mediterranean. Authenticity. Nature. A stay in Saint-Cyprien is an escape to a protected environment on the shores of the Mediterranean, with its unique mix of unspoilt coastline and outstandingly beautiful hinterland.
