Protected by towering pine trees…
Not only are the pine forests of the Landes beautiful, they were hand planted centuries ago to protect and nourish the coastline. At the hotel, pine wood gleams throughout, while the local wines Laurent, the friendly sommelier, will recommend with your meals come from vineyards nestled cosily behind this strong barrier. Not to be outdone, chef Nicolas Mahieu focuses on local, seasonal products unique to les Landes, lending his dishes a personal touch like the “My mum’s apple fritters” that make you feel right at home. From the wood floors to dusky green carpeted halls and wood shaving decorations sending their perfume into the air, the Landes forest is all around you.
Refreshed by the ocean…
Water holds an important role in Capbreton, the port drawing most tourists for its bars and restaurants, while surfers take advantage of the excellent waves and sandy beaches from dawn to dusk. The hotel is right on this beach and your Junior Suite offers a large, private balcony with views across the ocean, where the salty breeze invigorates as you sip on your morning coffee. Yet, the crystal waters follow you inside, too, with the soft blues of the spacious suites, heated outdoor swimming pool and vast wellness centre. Boasting methods and treatments from all corners of the world, the Espace Huajaï offers intense relaxation before sending you off to the Swedish sauna to let it all soak in.
