A romantic and unusual getaway in the heart of nature, in the Landes

Are you dreaming of an unforgettable romantic break in an extraordinary setting ? The 4-star ecolodge Les Echasses, nestled in the heart of the Landes forest in Aquitaine, welcomes you for an unusual and intimate experience, combining nature, comfort and refinement. Ideal for a romantic night, a weekend away as a couple or a surprise getaway, Les Echasses offers a unique setting for reconnecting with what’s essential… and with each other.

Accommodation designed for couples

Our spacious Modges, real design cocoons of around 50 m², like our 80 m² Suite, are specifically designed for couples seeking peace and authenticity. Each room opens onto a large terrace overlooking the lake, providing a soothing setting for relaxation and contemplation. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, it’s the perfect place for an unforgettable getaway.

Experience magic in every season

In winter, enjoy a cosy night in front of the wood-burning stove, savour a glass of wine, listen to our music selection, discover the books in each room, or simply let yourself be seduced by the cosy atmosphere of the Modge. For a wellness break, try our outdoor wood-fired Nordic bath, sauna or massage. A true luxury in the heart of nature.
In summer, it’s time for a gentle pace of life: a siesta, a swim in the pool with a view of the surrounding pine trees, a contemplative break at sunset on the terrace of your Modge… In the morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast overlooking the lake. And why not end the day with a romantic dinner at Le Comptoir after a few hours on the nearby beaches ?

Between forest and beach: the discreet luxury of a stay in the Landes

Located just a few kilometres from the beaches, Les Echasses lets you combine nature and the ocean, while enjoying a place where every detail has been thought of for your well-being. Far from traditional accommodation, this is a place apart, where luxury rhymes with simplicity. Every weekend spent at Les Echasses is an unusual experience, ideal for finding yourself, reconnecting and creating precious memories. For an impromptu getaway or a planned stay, Les Echasses promises a moment out of time, between forest, beach and romance. Every moment becomes a memory to share.

Activities, walks and gourmet delights for two

Your romantic break in the Landes is also an opportunity to discover the region’s treasures. Just a few minutes from Les Echasses, take a walk hand in hand along the wild Atlantic beaches, explore the paths of the Landes forest, or hire bikes for a ride for two between lakes, ocean and pine trees. For an unusual experience, treat yourself to a canoeing session on the Courant d’Huchet, or a romantic sunset through the pines and golden light.
And for an equally magical day out, why not plan a trip to the Basque Country ? Half an hour’s drive away, you can discover the typical charm of Bayonne, a little further on the colourful streets of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, or Biarritz, perched on the edge of the Atlantic. For epicureans, head for San Sebastián, on the other side of the Spanish border: a gourmet city par excellence, renowned for its pintxos, urban beaches, lively atmosphere and Michelin-starred restaurants.

For lovers of active nature, there are some wonderful walks for two :

  • For the more courageous, there’s the ascent of La Rhune, the Basque country’s legendary peak (905 m), accessible on foot or by cogwheel train: a breathtaking view of the ocean, the Pyrenees and the plains of Aquitaine,

 … there are plenty of other routes to choose from !

The surfing experience for two, between ocean and freedom

For couples in search of thrills, surfing is the perfect activity for two. Les Bourdaines surf school will take you out onto the waves of the Landes coast, famous the world over for the quality of its spots. Whether you’re a beginner or comfortable on a board, you’ll be offered personalised lessons, in small groups or private sessions. Supervised by professional instructors, you’ll learn to surf together in a safe, friendly atmosphere.

The beaches of Hossegor, Seignosse and Capbreton, all just a few minutes away, offer a wild and magnificent setting for learning or improving your skills. Here, surfing becomes much more than a sport: it becomes a shared experience, with laughter, adrenalin and moments of sharing. After the session, relax in your Modge – the perfect balance between energy and serenity.
