About Landes

Part of southwestern France’s picturesque Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, Landes is a land of pine forests and golden Atlantic Coast beaches. Perfect for outdoorsy travellers, the region is home to a number of relaxed lodges and restored rural manor houses within easy reach of hiking and cycling routes. Chosen for their location, style and amenities, our list of the best places to stay in Landes offers a great starting point for planning your trip.

Mont-de-Marsan, the regional capital, is an excellent base for culture-minded visitors. You’ll also find ample opportunities to go trekking, mountain biking, kayaking and horse riding, as well as to fish and play golf in the area. The Reserve d’Arjuzanx and expansive Landes Forest are particular highlights for wildlife enthusiasts or tranquil nature lovers. If it’s an epic surf trip that you’re after, look to Hossegor or Biscarrosse, where you’d find beautiful beaches and challenging surf breaks.

Close to both buzzy Biarritz and Bordeaux, the Landes region is easily accessible for visitors from within France and further afield. Hugely popular with friends and families as well as couples, the best places to stay in Landes promise a warm welcome!

The Best Places to Stay in Landes

FOR AN INTIMATE B&B

  • Côte & Dune is a playful B&B with five bright rooms in a white-painted house just a few minutes from the coast near Biscarrosse. Expect California-inspired design — including natural materials, surf boards and nods to the beach — as well as a refreshing swimming pool and lovely terrace. The welcoming hosts offer big home-cooked breakfasts and lots of local recommendations.
  • Jack's Lodge offers a warm welcome to a rustic wooden B&B with swimming pool, garden and pétanque lawn. Book one of four simple, modern guestrooms, feast on big breakfasts and head out to explore the Seignosse area on foot or by bicycle. Very tranquil.

For Boutique Chic

  • Villa Mirasol is a beautiful 1912-built Belle Époque residence in the heart of Mont-de-Marsan. Pick this place for the chic interiors, the intimate boutique feel, the botanical gardens and the bistro's glorious gourmet cuisine. Hugely atmospheric and brilliant for romantic couples or well-heeled travellers.
  • Villa Seren has a swish, contemporary feel, with lake-view rooms and suites clad in moody, grown-up tones. Families are welcome and will love the heated outdoor pool, but the spa and wine and tapas bar feel especially well-suited to stays with friends or as a couple. A trendy boutique choice in Hossegor.
  • Les Hortensias du Lac is a stunning hotel on Lake Hossegor. Expect spacious rooms with mid-century modern pieces in a restored historic landmark, a lake-facing swimming pool, chic restaurant and soothing spa. A romantic escape for couples, and a fun pick for friends or families eager to fuse good surf and great style.

For Families or Groups

  • Château Belle Epoque offers a selection of rooms and gîtes within four hectares of grounds. Just 15 minutes by car from the beach, this is a wonderful spot for a relaxed holiday with family and friends. Facilities include a big swimming pool, a tennis court, a fishing pond and a playground for little ones. Cook in your gîte or dine at the welcoming Italian restaurant. Kayaking and riding excursions can be organised nearby.
  • La Petite Couronne, close to Saint-Cricq-Chalosse, is a modern, 11-room hotel with crisp, clean interiors and smart bathrooms. Many rooms have space for additional beds or cots for little ones. Kids will love the swimming pool, hammocks and grassy garden. There's a fantastic restaurant, and space for up to 35 guests in a large group. Ideal for events, parties or family holidays.
  • La Ferme de Monseignon is made up of two wonderfully decorated gîtes, the larger of which sleeps up to six guests. Pick this place for a laid-back trip with family and friends, with the possibility of cooking together, kicking back on the terrace or swimming in the pool. A rural escape for reconnecting with loved ones or enjoying a vast array of activities.

FOR Food-Focused Luxury

  • Les Echasses Eco-Lodge is made up of beautiful lakeside lodges with minimalist interiors, wooden stoves and big beds topped with crisp white linens. A romantic escape complete with a superb spa and delicious seasonal cuisine, some of which is sourced from the grounds' beehives, orchards and vegetable gardens. Gorgeous and eco-focused, hidden inland of Hossegor.
  • Relais de la Poste promises an exceptional stay in luxurious rooms and suites set within a seven hectare park. The indoor and outdoor pools, gym and tennis court are excellent. The big draw is the two-Michelin-starred La Maison Coussau where Chefs Jean and Clémentine Coussau work with local producers to source top-quality ingredients for their gastronomic menu.
  • Le Prés d'Eugénie is perhaps best-known for its three-Michelin-starred restaurant, headed by Chef Michel Guérard. The 8-10 dish tasting menus is marvellous. Retreat to 45 elegant rooms and suites after cooking classes, spa treatments and discovering the magical grounds. For romantics and foodies.

FOR GREAT VALUE

  • Wood'n Sea Surf Lodge is a simple, surf-focused spot in Hossegor with a mix of shared and private bedrooms, some of which have their own bathrooms. Kick back in the terrace hot tub, cook up a storm in the communal kitchen, and enjoy rejuvenating yoga classes after days of surfing independently or with the help of the lodge's coach. A great value choice for surfers and yogis.
