HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Tuba Club Marseille is a tiny seaside hideaway set on the rocky coast of Les Goudes, a small fishing village on the edge of Marseille. Once a diving club, it has been transformed into a relaxed, design-driven spot with only a few cabanon-style rooms overlooking the water. The atmosphere is simple, creative and full of character, with wooden textures, sea views and a laid-back Mediterranean spirit. It feels more like staying in a stylish beach shack than a typical hotel, making it a favourite for travellers who want something unique. Guests spend their days swimming off the rocks, enjoying long lunches at the on-site restaurant or watching the sunset from the terrace. The restaurant and bar are central to the experience, known for fresh seafood and a lively but easygoing mood. With the Calanques National Park nearby and Marseille’s centre a short drive away, Tuba Club works well for those who want coastal living, good food and a relaxed, bohemian stay right by the sea.
What I love about this place is how low-key it keeps luxury, a handful of rooms, good food, the right music and that feeling you get when the only view is the Mediterranean and a few boats.

At the beach
Marseille
Marseille is a vibrant port city full of character, colour, and a mix of cultures that gives it a unique energy. Wander around the Vieux-Port, explore narrow streets in Le Panier, and enjoy long lunches by the sea with views of fishing boats and bright blue water. The city is surrounded by stunning nature too, with the Calanques offering cliffs, trails, and hidden coves just a short drive away. Marseille feels lively, authentic, and full of Mediterranean charm.
Les Goudes, Marseille
Les Goudes is a tiny seaside village at the very edge of Marseille, where the city gives way to the wild beauty of the Calanques. Its little harbour, rocky coves, and sun-bleached houses create a relaxed, almost island-like atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot for swimming, coastal hikes, or long seafood lunches with incredible sea views. Les Goudes feels peaceful, authentic, and wonderfully close to nature while still being part of Marseille.
