The Levant is located east of the other Islands and measures 8 km long by 1 km wide and the highest point is 140 m. It takes 1:30 hr to get there from the Port of Hyères and it is separated from Port Cros by a 800 m pass called “Pass des Grottes”.

It is covered by luxurious vegetation and some of southern Europe’s most beautiful arbousiers (strawberry trees). You can take a walk or follow the special sport trail or the nature trail.

The waters are crystal clear and the underwater fauna and flora are exceptional. A large part of the island is inaccessible to the public because it is a military zone.

Only the west coast is accessible by boat from l’Ayguade port. Nudism is compulsory on the Grottes beach, coastlines and the village is in the centre of the Internationally known as Héliopolis nudism domain.
