Redesigned by Studio Gronda, the property will offer 42 villas, including beachfront and overwater categories, along with multi-bedroom options featuring private pools.

Le Bel Hôtel Oléron – MGallery Collection, located off France’s west coast, is expected to open in April 2026. The property will feature 102 rooms and suites overlooking either the Atlantic Ocean or surrounding pine forests.
