Seminars on the Ile de Ré: a 5-star seafront hotel for your corporate events
Organizing a seminar on the Île de Ré means offering your teams a real break from everyday life – without the complexity of an international destination. As soon as you cross the bridge, the change of scenery is immediate: Atlantic light, sea air, a clear horizon. Your employees arrive in a different frame of mind, more available, more creative, more inclined to listen to each other.
The HR Hôtel & Spa Marin, a 5-star seafront establishment in La Flotte, is one of the few places on the island designed to welcome corporate groups of up to 300 people in a full residential package. Accommodation, gourmet catering, flexible meeting rooms and a private marine spa – all on one site, with no logistics to coordinate…
An exceptional setting for your residential seminar
Île de Ré is ideally located for business seminars: 3 hours by TGV from Paris to La Rochelle, then a further 20 minutes to the island. Bordeaux is 1h30 away, Nantes 2 hours. A change of scenery without the distance.
With its Pays d’art et d’histoire label, the island offers an unspoilt landscape of salt marshes, beaches and white-washed villages. Vauban’s fortifications at Saint-Martin-de-Ré, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, add an exceptional cultural dimension to your program. A setting that stimulates creativity and fosters cohesion – far from urban distractions, far from everyday life.
HR Hotel & Spa Marin seminar rooms
Modular rooms for up to 300 people
Most of the establishments on the Île de Ré were designed for family tourism. Their meeting rooms are often limited to 50 or 70 people, with limited configurations. The HR Hôtel & Spa Marin is an exception: its event spaces are designed for professional groups, with a total capacity of up to 300 participants.
The rooms can be fully adapted to your needs:
- Theater configuration for plenary sessions and presentations
- Cabaret configuration for interactive workshops
- Classroom configuration for training courses
- Cocktail configuration for gala evenings and standing dinners
Each room is equipped with video projector, projection screen, audio system, high-speed wifi connection and air conditioning. The hotel’s events team will set up and provide technical support throughout your stay…
The private Marine Spa for your team-building moments
One of the HR Hôtel & Spa Marin’s differentiating assets for corporate seminars is the possibility of privatizing the Spa Marin for your group. A wellness session at the end of the working day – balneotherapy, hammam, treatments – allows your teams to decompress and strengthen bonds in a unique setting. It’s the kind of experience your staff will remember long after the seminar.
On-site gourmet catering
A successful seminar also means a meal that lives up to expectations. The hotel’s restaurant offers gourmet cuisine based on seafood and local produce from the Charente region. Group meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner – are organized directly on site, with no need to travel between the hotel and the restaurant. Menus can be customized to suit your dietary requirements and tastes.

Nautical activities
Private catamaran, stand-up paddle, fishing trip, sunset aperitif on the “pertuis” – local service providers welcome groups of all sizes for half-day or full-day outings.
Discovering the region
Bike rally on the island’s 141 km of cycle paths, guided tour of Vauban’s UNESCO-listed fortifications, salt marsh discovery and fleur de sel harvesting – activities that anchor the seminar in the island’s unique identity.
Gastronomic experiences
Oyster tastings in oyster huts overlooking the ocean, wine workshops in the island’s vineyards, gourmet rallies through the villages – these are convivial moments that reinforce team cohesion around local products.
Our events team can coordinate all these activities with local service providers, offering you a turnkey program from A to Z.
