ABOUT OUR ECO RESORT IN SOUTH WEST FRANCE

The origins of Les Echasses : the idea of freedom and natural luxury

Les Echasses is the result of a dream born twenty years ago in Thomas’s mind : to create a unique and authentic boutique hotel, far removed from conventional standards, a free, warm and intimate place, where each stay is like a moment out of time. Here, guests are not just visitors, but are welcomed as friends, in an unusual setting combining luxury, comfort and a deep respect for the surrounding nature.
A lover of the Landes region since childhood, with a passion for surfing and wide open spaces, Thomas naturally chose the heart of the South-West, between ocean and forest, to bring this project to life. The village of Saubion, near Hossegor, enthusiastically supported the initiative, and Les Echasses opened its doors in July 2015. Just a few minutes from the beach, the estate invites you to relax by the pool, lounge in the armchairs on the terraces, or sample local produce in its restaurant, Le Comptoir.
Les Echasses offers suites and rooms overlooking nature, with private terraces and views over the lake, designed created for a peaceful and inspiring night’s sleep. This unique place, designed by architect Patrick Arotcharen, celebrates design, gastronomy, music and the gentle pace of life in the heart of nature. A stay at Les Echasses is an immersion in the soul of the Landes, between beach, forest and emotion.

Luxury, where charm meets nature

Les Echasses is a veritable secret place where every detail has been thought of to offer a unique experience. This boutique hotel will seduce you with its perfect harmony of comfort, respect for nature and exceptional surroundings. Each stay in our establishment is an invitation to relax and discover, in a place where luxury rhymes with authenticity and conviviality.

The rooms show this subtle blend of elegance and simplicity. Spacious, decorated with taste and attention to detail, they open onto beautiful private terraces overlooking the lake, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding forest. Designed to guarantee a peaceful night’s sleep, they are equipped with natural materials and top-of-the-range amenities, ensuring optimum comfort: king-size beds dressed in white, in-room music via ipads, a selection of books in each room, wood-burning stove, etc. The large picture windows let the light flood in, allowing guests to stay connected to the surrounding nature, while enjoying an intimate and refined atmosphere.

At the heart of the estate, the outdoor swimming pool blends in perfectly with the wooded landscape, providing a relaxing spot to chill in fine weather under the large parasols.
Le Comptoir restaurant offers 100% local cuisine, highlighting the flavours of the South-West. The produce on offer comes from local suppliers, from the Pyrenees… but above all from the orchard and vegetable garden at Les Echasses, farmed using permaculture!
The privileged location of Les Echasses, just a few minutes from the beaches of the Landes coast, means that visitors can take full advantage of the exceptional natural setting. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a break with friends, this luxury hotel offers a setting where you can recharge your batteries in the heart of nature, while benefiting from top-of-the-range services. The peaceful atmosphere and discreet charm of the surroundings invite you to contemplate and relax.
Finally, Les Echasses stands out for its respectful approach to the environment, combining luxury and ecology without compromise. Here, every element has been designed to minimise the impact on nature while offering exceptional comfort. This successful marriage of charm, nature and luxury makes Les Echasses an exceptional place in the Landes, a must for anyone looking for an authentic and refined experience close to the ocean and the forest. An experience that suspends time.
