Hotels with Beach Access in Toulon for Families
6 family-friendly hotels with beach access in Toulon . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Toulon is a working Mediterranean port with a relaxed old town, a busy market and, just east of the centre, the sandy coves of Le Mourillon, which are among the most family-friendly beaches on this stretch of coast. The hotels on this page range from a seafront four-star in Mourillon to central hotels with outdoor pools and an aparthotel with kitchenettes near the station. Some put the sand on your doorstep, others are a short bus or boat ride away. This page explains which base suits young children, which hotels add a pool for beach-free afternoons and how to plan days around the sea.
Toulon is home to France's main naval base, with a large natural harbour, a Provençal old town and a lively daily market on the Cours Lafayette. The Mont Faron cable car climbs to a viewpoint and a small zoo above the city, and boat-buses cross the harbour to La Seyne and the Sablettes beach. The Mourillon district, east of the centre, has sandy coves, a seafront promenade and plenty of cafés.

🏖️Why Toulon is Great for Hotels with Beach Access
Staying close to the beach in Toulon means fewer car journeys and more time in the water, which matters with small children in the summer heat. The sheltered Mourillon coves suit paddling and sandcastles, and a hotel nearby lets you go back for a nap at lunchtime. Central hotels with pools are a good alternative for families who want the port, the market and the beach within easy reach.
Best Western Plus La Corniche is the clear choice for beach-first families. The eco-friendly four-star sits in the Mourillon district, overlooking the beach and a small Mediterranean fishing port, with some rooms offering balconies and sea views. Family suites and spa and wellness facilities make it comfortable for longer stays, and breakfast is served in a panoramic room or in the garden. From here, the sandy Mourillon coves and the seafront promenade are on your doorstep, so children can paddle in the morning, rest at lunchtime and go back to the water late in the afternoon.
Central Toulon offers hotels with pools close to the port. L'Eautel Toulon Centre Port is a four-star with family rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, a spa and wellness centre, a restaurant and private parking. Holiday Inn Toulon City Centre has an outdoor pool with a furnished terrace, family suites and air-conditioned rooms, while Grand Hôtel Dauphiné adds a pool, a spa and family suites in a boutique setting decorated with original artworks. These hotels suit families who want an easy swim after a day at the market, the harbour or the Mont Faron cable car.
OKKO Hotels Toulon Centre, rated 9.1 by guests, is close to the station, the port and the beaches, with a sauna, a gym, a shared lounge and a rooftop bar. Apparthotel Privilodges Toulon Centre Gare is the practical option for longer stays, with family rooms and suites that include kitchenettes, a dining area and soundproofing, plus a sun terrace and a bar. Cooking simple meals in the room helps with budgets and with children's routines, and both hotels are well placed for trains along the coast to Marseille, Hyères and the islands.
Beach days work best when they are planned around the heat. The Mourillon beaches are busiest on summer afternoons, so arrive early in the morning, bring shade and leave the hottest hours for the hotel pool or a siesta. The boat-bus across the harbour to the Sablettes beach makes a fun outing for children, and the Mont Faron cable car offers cooler air and views over the bay. Toulon is also a good base for ferries to the islands of Porquerolles and Port-Cros, which have some of the clearest water on the Mediterranean coast of France.
Parent's take
For families, the best Toulon base depends on how much time you plan to spend on the sand. A hotel in Mourillon makes beach days effortless, while a central hotel with a pool keeps the market, the port and the cable car within walking distance. Either way, mornings at the beach and afternoons by the pool or in the shade suit young children best in high summer.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Beach Access in Toulon
- 1Choose Mourillon if beach time is the priority. Best Western Plus La Corniche overlooks the beach there, and the sheltered sandy coves are among the best in Toulon for paddling with young children.
- 2Arrive at the beach early in July and August. The Mourillon coves fill up on hot afternoons, and the morning sun is easier on small children, leaving the afternoon for the pool or a rest.
- 3Use the boat-bus across the harbour. It is a cheap and fun outing for children and links central Toulon with La Seyne and the Sablettes beach on the other side of the bay.
- 4Pick a central hotel with a pool for flexibility. L'Eautel Toulon Centre Port, Holiday Inn Toulon City Centre and Grand Hôtel Dauphiné all have pools, so a swim is possible even on days without the beach.
- 5Take the Mont Faron cable car on a hot day. The summit is cooler than the shore, offers wide views over the harbour and has a small zoo that younger children enjoy.
- 6Book an aparthotel for stays of a week or more. Apparthotel Privilodges Toulon Centre Gare has kitchenettes in its family rooms, which makes breakfasts and early dinners much easier.
