70 Hectares... et l'Océan: Hotel in Seignosse

70 hectares… et l’Océan: Between forest, ocean, and Landes light

Perched in the heart of the Landes pine forest, 70 hectares… et l’Océan stands out as a singular destination where the energy of the ocean blends with the serenity of lush greenery. Overlooking the fairways of Seignosse’s prestigious golf course and just minutes from the region’s most renowned beaches, the hotel offers a full immersion into the lifestyle of the Landes. The scent of pine, the salty ocean air, and the birdsong create an atmosphere perfect for relaxation, reflection, and movement.

This new property proudly bears the signature of the Domaines de Fontenille, co-founded by Frédéric Biousse and Guillaume Foucher, a collection of hotels that already includes Domaine de Fontenille in the Luberon, Les Bords de Mer in Marseille, Fontenille Menorca Torre Vella and Santa Ponsa in Minorca, as well as Les Hortensias du Lac in Hossegor. The hotel embodies the same philosophy of discreet luxury, authenticity, and connection to the environment while capturing the chic surf lodge spirit unique to the Atlantic coast.

The hotel’s architecture integrates elegantly with the Landes forest. Its façades blend with the green and woody tones of pine and cork trees, evoking a contemporary family home nestled in nature. The volumes open generously to the outdoors, capturing the soft light of southwestern France and emphasizing a constant dialogue with the surrounding landscape. The overall effect is both warm and modern, where every detail — natural materials, clean lines, pastel colors contrasted with deeper accents — contributes to a unique visual and sensory experience.

70 hectares… et l’Océan now offers 32 rooms and suites, distributed across four categories on three floors, following a full renovation that reduced the original capacity of 45 rooms. Interiors and décor have been completely redesigned to ensure comfort and privacy. Each room features large windows opening onto the treetops, bathing the space in natural light and providing an immersive view of the grounds. Parquet floors, modern furnishings, contemporary objects, and designer lighting combine with touches of wood and green that echo the surrounding landscape. Bathrooms are spacious and equipped with double sinks, Italian showers with rain effect, robes and slippers, and L:A Bruket organic toiletries. Every detail is designed to extend the connection to nature, offering a unique sensory experience between relaxation and contemplation.

At the heart of the hotel, the restaurant offers inventive cuisine where local and seasonal products meet Japanese influences, creating dishes that are both surprising and deeply rooted in Landes culture. Culinary experiences unfold throughout the day, from lunch with donburi and baos to dinner featuring small plates inspired by the izakaya spirit, and a Sunday brunch combining local products with creative interpretations. The bar invites guests to extend the experience with bold cocktails exploring flavor pairings of sake, Nikka whisky, matcha, or sesame, all in a convivial atmosphere enlivened by aperitifs, live music, and karaoke nights under the pines.

At 70 hectares… et l’Océan, wellness is rooted in movement and nature. The hotel offers a heated pool nestled in the pine forest, yoga and Pilates sessions, as well as bespoke massages and relaxing treatments for complete reconnection. Access to the spa at neighboring Les Hortensias du Lac in Hossegor allows guests to extend this restorative experience. Outdoor enthusiasts have a wealth of opportunities: surfing on nearby beaches, golfing on one of the region’s top courses, cycling through the forest, paddleboarding on the ponds, or simple hikes beneath the pines. These activities embody the spirit of the Landes — a harmonious mix of ocean power, movement, and natural immersion.

Staying at 70 hectares… et l’Océan is to embrace a sensory and contemplative form of travel, close to both nature and the ocean. It is waking up to the scent of pine at dawn, listening to the waves at sunset, and savoring inventive cuisine under a starry sky. A sophisticated, lively, and deeply rooted address, ideal for a Landes getaway between forest, golf, surf, and the Atlantic.
