You have to take a boat to get there, the drinks are expensive, and the whole thing feels very "vacation mode activated" before you even arrive.
And honestly? Maybe it is a little bit. But we had such a ridiculously fun time that I truly did not care.
We accidentally ended up there on opening day for the season and the energy was wild in the best way. Music going, people dancing everywhere, drinks flowing nonstop, and just this very fun international crowd all committing to spending an entire afternoon partying on an island off Cannes.
The funniest part is that the food was actually really good too. Usually places with that kind of atmosphere rely only on the vibe, but the meal genuinely surprised us.
We stayed for hours, spent way more money than planned, and somehow still walked away feeling like it was worth it.
Honestly one of the most memorable afternoons from the trip.
