Celebrate birthdays with family on Île de Ré

Hosting a birthday party in a private villa on Île de Ré is the perfect opportunity to bring family and friends together for a week in an elegant and peaceful setting that evokes the charms of yesteryear. The villas feature bedrooms and bathrooms designed to comfortably accommodate 8 to 14 people, with plenty of space to enjoy cosy moments together.

A dinner or event can be organised without impinging upon your holiday rental or the neighbours. This type of celebration focuses on a friendly atmosphere, comfort and understated charm rather than a noisy party.

The best villages for renting a birthday villa 

Les Portes-en-Ré: Large villas by the beaches 

Les Portes-en-Ré offers luxury villas close to unspoilt beaches with pristine sand and untouched natural surroundings. This village at the northern tip of the island provides easy access to footpaths and cycle paths and is close to the iconic lighthouse in Saint-Clément-les-Baleines, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities with the family. 

Ars-en-Ré: Where to stay on Île de Ré for authentic charm & calm 

Ars-en-Ré charms visitors with its flower-filled streets, peaceful atmosphere and prestigious homes. Renting a villa in this village guarantees privacy and comfort, whilst being just a few minutes’ walk from the shops and cafés in the centre and a 10-minute drive to the island's iconic salt marshes. 

Saint-Martin-de-Ré: Elegant villas near the harbour 

Saint-Martin-de-Ré has tranquil villas combined with a lively atmosphere in the harbour and charming homes decorated with coloured wooden shutters. Thanks to restaurants and the town centre nearby, you can enjoy a variety of experiences during your stay whilst enjoying the comfort of spacious, fully equipped villas.

Gather around an elegant table 

You can enjoy a birthday dinner prepared by a private chef, showcasing local ingredients and the island’s famous fleur de sel. In the morning, brunch in the garden or on the sunny terrace is the perfect way to savour fresh market produce, whilst enjoying an intimate and elegant setting just a few minutes from the harbour. These moments of togetherness foster a sense of camaraderie amongst guests, encouraging relaxation and conversation around the table.
