Summary

Location

Les Hortensias du Lac resides in Soorts-Hossegor, a laidback commune in the southwest corner of France.

An enviable location between the Atlantic Ocean and Hossegor Lake puts a wide range of aquatic activities within easy reach: surfing, swimming, paddleboarding, sailing, and more.

For landlubbers, reception can organise hiking, biking, golf, fishmarket tours, and pine forest picnics.

The hotel has its own private beach club, La Cabane des Estagnots, located about 10 minutes away.

Biarritz Airport is a 50-minute drive from the hotel. You can also get here from the Bordeaux Airport in about 2 hours.

Rooms & Suites

A chic little boutique, this bright and breezy hotel has just 19 well-appointed rooms and 6 sumptuous suites.

As the property straddles the shores of a scenic marine lagoon, almost every room enjoys breathtaking waterfront views. Large balconies and terraces give cause to linger outside.

Inside, whitewashed walls, hardwood floors, and sleek minimalist furnishings define the décor, a carefree style inspired by the trendy surf hotels of the Hamptons. Floor-to-ceiling windows light up the rooms, while glitzy en-suite bathrooms feature walk-in showers and LA Bruket organic products—some have tubs.

Upgrade to a suite for stacks of extra space and your own private sitting room.

Pools & Facilities

Les Hortensias du Lac’s pièce de résistance is its picture-perfect infinity pool. Overlooking a lush garden and Hossegor Lake, it’s a scenic spot to spend a lazy afternoon.

The property also boasts a superb 450m² spa made from sand-coloured ceramics, light wood, and earthy stones.

The soothing oasis offers a multitude of therapies: a Turkish hammam, a steamy sauna, a whirlpool bath, and a outdoor Nordic bath.

Skilled hands apply effective beautification treatments using exclusive L:A Bruket brand products—a quality outfit based in Sweden’s West Coast.

For some serious pampering, try the “Journée des sens” package, which includes a 30-minute hydrating facial, a 50-minute massage, spa access, and healthy gourmet lunch with herb-infused tea.

A well-equipped gym caters to the fitness fanatics, and there’s a professional coach to help you hit your goals.

Yoga sessions take place during the summer by the lake—Pilates and Sophrology classes available year-round on request.

Food & Drinks

Peering over Hossegor Lake, the in-house hotel Restaurant is a panoramic place to feast on fine French cuisine.

Head chef Philippe Moreno (of Gerald Passédat fame) takes charge of the menu, using locally sourced produce to prepare his divine seafood and plancha-based cuisine. Sustainability and seasonality define every meal.

Fine French and international wine and creative cocktails (plus a few timeless classics) are on hand to wash down your meal.

For a light lunch or creamy cappuccino, head to the Lake Beach House instead. The laidback venue does delectable snacks and hot drinks in the afternoon.

For the perfect sunset over the ocean with an aperitif in the hand and feet in the sand head to La Cabane des Estagnots, less than 2 km away from Les Hortensias du Lac.

Special Info

The tranquil setting makes Les Hortensias du Lac the ideal spot for a memorable wedding—book out the entire hotel to celebrate in style.
