Our favorite Airbnbs in Ile du Levant
The best Airbnb rentals on Levant Island are all located in Héliopolis, Europe's first naturist village, founded in 1931. Naturism is free here but never compulsory: you can stay dressed or not. This small island in the Var, off the Côte d'Azur, is a unique holiday destination in the south of France. Vacation rentals are scarce, so book early for summer.
Choose a charming superhost villa with a private garden, a family house, a cosy cabin, a bungalow, a studio or an apartment for a couple. Many offer a terrace with a panoramic sea view over the Mediterranean and Port-Cros, perfect at sunset. Expect peace, privacy and nature, with easy access to the beaches, coves and hiking paths. There are no cars, so every stay is within walking distance of the local restaurants.
We have done the homework for you. Every rental in our selection is highly rated: glowing guest reviews, a strong average rating, top marks for cleanliness and location. Most are superhost or top guest favourite listings, where guests agree on the quality of the experience. From budget studios to luxury villas, the Airbnb price range suits every trip.
Best Airbnb villas and apartments on Levant island
A private room facing the sea, west-facing, just behind the village square in Héliopolis on the Île du Levant: private terrace with sun loungers and sunset views over the Mediterranean every evening. An adjoining courtyard of nearly 200 m², with the village shops just a stone’s throw away—a pied-à-terre for two on a car-free naturist island.
A studio fully renovated in 2025, nestled in the lush greenery of the Île du Levant naturist resort: exposed beams, earth tones, a separate kitchen, and a large panoramic terrace facing the sea—perfect for watching sunsets.
The sea is a five-minute walk away, and the harbor and its café are just below—a cozy retreat for two, available for weekly rentals from June through September.
A small historic villa in the heart of the Héliopolis naturist resort on Île du Levant: separate entrance and terrace, south-facing, with views of the sea and the bay. A private hot tub available year-round, the village square just a minute’s walk away, and the beach below—a getaway for two, adults only.
Your questions about Airbnb properties on the island
We’ve received several enquiries about these holiday rentals. Here are our answers to your most frequently asked questions.
What are the best Airbnb rentals in Île du Levant?
The best Airbnb rentals on Île du Levant are small, intimate and full of character. They all sit in Héliopolis, the naturist village, where the Airbnb location is everything. A sea view, a quiet terrace and a short walk to the water: that is what makes a guest favourite here.
Our first pick is the Villa naturiste, a small historic villa in the heart of the resort. It has its own entrance, a south-facing terrace and views over the sea and the bay. A private hot tub is available all year round, and the beach lies just below.
Next comes Eve, chambre naturiste, a private room facing the sea just behind the village square. Its terrace looks west, so you enjoy a Mediterranean sunset every evening. Finally, Gai Mistral is a studio fully renovated in 2025, with a large panoramic terrace facing the sea.
These three vacation rentals share the same spirit: calm, charm and a real sense of escape. For your Levant vacation, they are the best Airbnb choices for two. Top guest favourite status and glowing reviews usually follow this kind of setting.
What Airbnb rentals are family friendly?
Our selection is designed for couples, and the Villa naturiste is for adults only. If you travel with family and kids, you will need a different vacation rental. On the island, house rentals and apartment rentals with two bedrooms are your best option.
One example is L'arbre de vie, on the ground floor of a family house in Héliopolis. It offers a kitchen, one bedroom with a double bed and one with two single beds, plus a large terrace with a view. The price covers two people, with a small supplement per extra guest, up to four.
Remember that the island has no cars and many paths are steep. Before you book, check the Airbnb rating and what past guests say about access with children. Guests on Airbnb often mention these details in their reviews.
What are the best beach access rentals?
On Île du Levant, rentals with beach access mean a short walk rather than a door onto the sand. The Villa naturiste comes closest, with the beach right below the house. It is the ideal choice if you want to swim before breakfast.
At Gai Mistral, the sea is a five-minute walk away, with the harbour and its café just below. Eve, for its part, faces the sea and puts you close to both the village shops and the swimming spots. All three offer a sea view as a bonus.
Across the island, you will also find apartment rentals, house rentals and a few condo rentals near the coves. Most vacation rentals on Airbnb list the walking time to the sea. Choose carefully, as some paths climb sharply on the way back.
What is the average price for Airbnb there?
The Airbnb price on Île du Levant varies with the season, the size and the view. Comparison sites estimate the average at just under $200 a night, roughly £150. Rooms and studios suit a tighter budget, while villas with a pool or a hot tub cost more.
Summer is the most expensive time, as it is everywhere in the south of France. Gai Mistral, for instance, is only rented by the week from June to September. Book early if you want the best rental at a fair price.
A high average rating often goes hand in hand with a higher price. Yet on such a small island, even a modest vacation rental comes with the sea and the silence. On Airbnb, the view is often worth more than the square metres.
What are the top-rated rentals in Île du Levant?
We only kept highly rated rentals, checked one by one through Airbnb reviews. Cleanliness, location and the welcome were our three main criteria. When guests agree on these points, the stay rarely disappoints.
On the island, the top-rated listings are often a superhost apartment or a superhost villa. Superhost status rewards hosts with consistent reviews and quick replies. It is a reliable sign on a small island where comfort depends on the host.
Our three picks meet these standards, each in its own style. The villa offers privacy, Eve offers the sunsets and Gai Mistral offers a fresh, renovated space. Choose according to your pace rather than the size.
What unique features do rentals offer?
Rentals on Île du Levant have unique features you will not find on the mainland. Our Villa naturiste has a private hot tub available all year round. Eve comes with a private terrace, sun loungers and a courtyard of nearly 200 m².
Gai Mistral has a charming interior with exposed beams, earth tones and an equipped kitchen. Elsewhere on the island, a few villas feature a private pool, such as Cabo Verde or Villa Mirabel. Budeiya, a house with a panoramic sea view, is listed with a jacuzzi.
Some apartments are fully air conditioned, a real asset in July and August. Others have a luxurious terrace of 60 m² under a pergola. Whatever you choose, the true luxury here remains silence, the sea and freedom.
