The hotel
Three generations on the Corniche.
Terrou-Bi began in 1986 as a restaurant on the Corniche Ouest. It grew into a hotel with a casino, and the Rahal family still own and run it, now in their third generation. La Terrasse, under its pergola facing the sea, has been cooking since 1997, serving brasserie dishes and seafood. The family business now counts some 700 staff and partners.
The resort runs down to a private beach of white sand, with the 34-metre pool beside it and Le Grain de Sel looking over the marina. Every room has its own balcony. The hotel keeps boats for fishing and trips along the coast, and the casino has roulette, blackjack and a poker room. Event rooms add more than 2,800 square metres.
