The sea view, key to the well-being and success of a marriage

Getting married by the sea isn't just about choosing a spectacular setting. It means placing the ocean or the Mediterranean at the heart of the celebration, as a common thread of serenity and emotions. The sea acts like a breath, calms the spirits and enhances every moment, from the exchange of vows to the last dance.

Before discovering our selection, here are the determining criteria for choosing the ideal location:

The sea view: a horizon that enhances the collective experience.
Direct access to the beach or private cove: for privacy and exclusivity.
The modularity of the spaces: holding ceremony, cocktail, cocktail, dinner and evening in different but harmonious settings.
Accommodation capacity: to live together and without transport constraints.
The quality of the villas or suites: prolong the magic when you wake up in front of the waves.
Catering: menus created by chefs, adapted to the tastes of the bride and groom.
Accessibility: proximity to airports and train stations for guests.
Complementary activities: paddle boarding, yoga, marine spa, excursions.
The quality-price ratio: a balance between exclusivity and overall budget.
Authenticity: a place that tells a story and is anchored in its marine landscape.
