Knowing what to do in the Var means looking beyond the most obvious itineraries. Between the blue of the Mediterranean, hilltop villages and the quieter inland areas, the department offers several ways to shape your day. Whether you are looking for a lively beach for the afternoon, a calmer hotel pool or a table by the water, the Var coastline lets you adapt the plan to your mood.
On MySunbed, the question is not only what to visit, but how to organise your day. From the Gulf of Saint-Tropez to the coves and red rocks of the Estérel, through the softer rhythm of Bandol, the platform brings together a selection of addresses where you can swim, have lunch and unwind in a polished setting, with clear options bookable according to displayed availability.
Serviced beach or hotel pool: define your day
Water often shapes the main activity in the Var, but the format changes from one place to another. Booking a day at a serviced beach lets you settle facing the sea, with a sunbed, food service and swimming within easy reach. It is a good option for those who want to enjoy the coast without moving from place to place.
Choosing a hotel pool or a more secluded address offers another rhythm, with more calm, shade and comfort. These places can be especially useful in high season, when the beaches are busier. Depending on the venue, the appeal may come from lunch on site, a more private setting, a comfortable sunbed or a greener surrounding.
Adapt your plans by area in the Var
The Var does not offer the same rhythm everywhere. The Gulf of Saint-Tropez sets a sunny, lively and upscale tone. People come for the beaches, restaurants, music and addresses that stretch the day into the late afternoon. Further west, the area around Hyères and the Giens peninsula attracts travellers who prefer a more direct connection to the sea, between coves, long beaches and natural landscapes.
If you are looking for a balance between energy and calm, Sainte-Maxime and Le Lavandou offer options that fit easily into a day on the coast. Further west, around Bandol and Sanary-sur-Mer, the atmosphere becomes softer, ideal for alternating a swim, a local lunch and the end of the day facing the Mediterranean.
Find the right address with MySunbed
Planning your day becomes easier when you can compare places. Each address has different strengths: some stand out for their restaurant, others for their music, sea access, practical services or a quieter area where you can extend the moment. The right choice depends as much on the area as on the pace you want for the day.
To structure your day, you can target your search by area. Book a beach club in Saint-Tropez for a more vibrant atmosphere, explore the beach clubs in Hyères for a moment closer to nature, relax at a beach club in Le Lavandou, or choose the charm of a beach club in Bandol. From the Var page, this city-by-city approach helps you move from a broad overview to a more precise selection according to your starting point.
MySunbed spirit
Finding what to do in the Var should not feel like a constraint. The spirit of the region lies in that freedom of rhythm: a long lunch facing the sea, a shaded pause, a midday swim or a livelier afternoon on the sand. With MySunbed, you compare available places along the coast and choose the address that best matches your mood, according to services, availability and the level of comfort you are looking for.
