Moorea Beach

A Pampelonne beach that began in 1952 as a straw hut with twenty mattresses, where the sand is still booked by telephone only.

Editorial entry · sources recorded · operator confirmation pending

Moorea Plage stands on Pampelonne, at the chemin des Moulins in Ramatuelle. It began in 1952 as, in its own words, a simple bamboo straw hut with about twenty mattresses, two sunshades, a barbecue and a menu of a few Provençal dishes; in 2024 it counted seventy years on the same sand. Christophe Coutal and his team run it today, with a jetty and a shuttle by water alongside paid covered parking on the land side.

The day is sold by the place: deckchairs in the front and second rows, beds on the sea's edge and canopy beds, under grey, white and turquoise parasols, with towels hired apart. The operator lists a bed at the sea's edge at a hundred and eighty euros. The beach is reserved by telephone only, on a line separate from the restaurant's. It is open seven days a week until nine in the evening, and the kitchen serves from noon to five.

Telephone only. There is no online booking for the sand. A place on the beach is made by calling the beach desk, on its own number.

More than a lunch. Beside the beds there are shops and a run of services rarely found on the sand: a hairdresser, an osteopath, a masseuse and a reflexologist.

Music after lunch. The bar and terrace carry DJ sets and live music, and the beach turns livelier in the late afternoon.

Who it is not for

Moorea Plage is wrong for anyone who wants to book a sunbed online: reservations for the beach are taken by telephone only. It is wrong for a guest who wants a quiet end to the day, because music takes over the late afternoon. And it is wrong for someone planning around exact season dates, because the dates on the operator's page were not current when read.
