A rare find on the Atlantic coast, Les Hortensias du Lac is a laid-back yet refined surf lodge tucked between lake and ocean, just 40 minutes from Biarritz airport. With 25 rooms and suites - most with lake views, some with private terraces - this former Basque villa has been reimagined into a chic coastal retreat where elegance meets effortless cool.

Guests wake up to the scent of pine trees and the sound of waves. Mornings start with a dip in the heated outdoor pool or a surf session on the beach, a 10-minute walk away. Days drift by with bike rides, golf, and lazy lunches at the Beach House. Evenings? Picture sunset cocktails by the water, followed by market-fresh cuisine at the gastronomic restaurant.
At the heart of it all: wellness. The L:A Bruket spa offers Nordic baths, a hammam, a cold plunge, and outdoor massages - all infused with the serenity of the lakeside.
Les Hortensias is made for active families, stylish couples, and travelers seeking a fresh take on French seaside living. Think less Riviera, more raw, natural luxury - with sand in your hair and wine in your glass.
Good to know: Perfect for surf getaways, nature escapes, or stylish stopovers between Bordeaux and San Sebastián. Buyout available.
