The First Luxury Surf Hotel in Hossegor!
In the heart of the Landes, steps away from some of the best surf spots in Europe, Les Hortensias du Lac, built in the ’50s, is an iconic building in Hossegor’s history, classified and protected as “Monument de caractère”.
The resort is located on Hossegor interior lake, a true jewel of the Landes region. The hotel is just 500m from La Graviere beach, one of the best beach breaks in the world!
The Resort
An iconic figure of the seaside resort of Hossegor, Les Hortensias du Lac hotel is located on the western shore of the marine lake, in the shade of the pine trees of Les Landes. The hotel is a short walk away from the endless beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. Les Hortensias Du Lac mixes Art Deco heritage and surf culture through the values and unique atmosphere of the Les Domaines de Fontenille collection. The resort has 25 rooms and suites, a 450m2 mineral organic spa, an outside and heated 80sqm swimming pool, a restaurant overlooking the lake with a large terrace and a bar, a seminar room, and a fitness room.
La Cabane des Estagnots, less than 2 km from the resort, is one of the most famous “cabins” on the Landes coast and it is the ideal place for a relaxing break at any time of the day facing the ocean.
Waves at Les Hortensias Du Lac
Hossegor surf is the epicentre of the 230km coastline called the Côte d’Argent, the longest uninterrupted stretch of sandy beach in Europe. Hossegor is the land of the epic beach breaks: the exceptionally powerful, hollow, and perfect world-class waves have attracted the world’s best competitive surfers.
September to November is arguably the best time of year to surf in Hossegor. The water is warm from the summer, the waves are starting to pick up in size and the crowds are low. This is when the WSL Quik Pro France is held and there’s always a good vibe in town. From December to April you can expect big heavy barrels and powerful spring tides, suitable for advanced surfers looking to score! Families and total beginners will find plenty of fun waves from May to August: the summer months surf is more relaxed even if more crowded. The certified coaches of Las Hortensias du Lac will pick you up at the hotel to make you discover the sensations of surfing and improve your skills!

The Cuisine
The Hortensias restaurant overlooks Lake Hossegor and proposes land-sea cuisine reflecting the gastronomic heritage of Landes area. Chef Philippe Moreno offers cuisine based on seafood and planchas.

Activities
The lake and the ocean offer a multitude of possibilities to experience unique moments as close as possible to nature. Take a sunrise walk around the lake, join a yoga class, discover the lake by SUP or sails into the open sea from Capbreton guided by a skipper. Have a tour of Landes forests with a picnic lunch prepared by our executive chef, explore the Capbreton fish market, learn how to cook a local pastry or go shopping in the centre of Hossegor.
Wellness
The 450 sqm L.A. Bruket organic SPA offers a unique view of Hossegor marine lake and the treatments are made with therapeutic properties of the sea for a rich and unique experience in Hossegor, using Swedish organic and natural products. In addition to the infinity pool overlooking the lake, the Hortensias’ spa was designed as an extension of the basin landscape. It combines blond stones, light woods, and sand-colored ceramics. It offers a wide range of treatments for a rich and unique experience in Hossegor: massage rooms, sauna and cold bath, whirlpool, outdoor Nordic bath, hammam, rest room and herbal tea room.
