Where to go this summer in the Landes? Seven boutique hotels from Seignosse to Capbreton

2020-06-13T16:04:14.488Z


Less visited than the Basque Country, the Landes region with two faces: an infinite dune Atlantic facade and a still wild Gascony country. And it also offers a few charming addresses that still display availability for the July and August holidays.


Les Échasses Golf & Surf Eco Lodge, in Saubion

In total, these are seven contemporary huts (50 m2) placed on the water and reserved for couples and a family lodge of a hundred square meters, which share the silence of the four hectares of forest around. A natural sanctuary, labeled "Relais du silence", located a few minutes from the ocean and imagined with the know-how of an architect, a landscaper and a designer. A haven of disconnection, a philosophy focused on nature, respect for the terroir (ultra-short circuit) and a "slow life" with music, surfing, literature and photography. Norwegian spa and bath ... From 225 € per night in "modge".

Hydrangeas of the Lake, in Hossegor

It is a chic refuge from the Les Domaines de Fontenille hotel collection, with the atmosphere of a surf lodge facing the sunrise and on the marine lake. Yann Deret

Inaugurated last summer and already labeled "Relais et Châteaux", this intimate hotel (29 rooms with terraces) nonetheless cultivates the local relaxed seaside spirit. For their fifth address, Les Domaines de Fontenille imagined a "Surf Hotel" inspired by those of the Hamptons on the east coast of the United States: design and raw materials, surfboards at the entrance, short circuit cuisine around planchas , an "organic" spa and a beautiful swimming corridor overlooking the marine lake. From 145 € per night with breakfast.

Les Hortensias du Lac, 1578 avenue du Tour du Lac 40150 Hossegor. Phone. : 05 58 43 99 00.
