Overview
Stay in an architect-designed villa and neighbouring lodge, each with their own swimming pool, with forest cycling and walking trails from your doorstep just a short bike ride/drive from Moliets-et-Maa’s stunning sandy beach and prestigious 18-hole golf course. Together the two homes can sleep up to 19 guests.
First of all the striking modern villa which welcomes 8 guests, set in a gorgeous garden with so much to do nearby. Guests can expect spacious, contemporary interiors and air-conditioning – the lounge is especially impressive with its cathedral high ceiling and huge windows overlooking the garden and swimming pool. There are three bedrooms here (a master en suite double downstairs and two triples on the first floor) alongside a mezzanine level with games, a workstation and double sofa-bed.
Relax beneath the cork oaks on the poolside terrace before swimming in the heated swimming pool whilst fellow guests (children and grown-ups alike) play volleyball, badminton, football or pétanque across the lovely lawn. Delicious local feasts can be served on the al-fresco dining table – arrange a chef as an extra treat. There is even space for your wetsuits and surfboards outside in the ‘surf zone’.
The attractive lodge sits next door within its own private grounds, smaller in size but with five bedrooms allowing up to 11 guests to sleep here (three doubles, a twin and triple with bunk-bed). The little garden has a pretty pergola for outdoor dining, a barbecue and a 7m long heated swimming pool. Inside, the air-conditioned lodge is modern and stylish with an open-plan lounge-diner and well-equipped side kitchen.
The owners can help arrange some wonderful services from flowers and/or groceries for your arrival to daily delivery of breakfast pastries and a private cook. They can also help you pre-book excursions, surfing lessons, horse-riding and bike hire – ask for the bikes to be delivered to the villa/lodge so you can fully explore the local network of cycling paths connecting coast, villages and forests (known as La Vélodyssée).
Cycle to Moliets-et-Maa’s traditional village centre for the local boulangerie and a small handful of restaurants whilst there are further amenities and places to eat towards the coast. Moliets-et-Maa is also home to a Robert Trent Jones designed golf course, tennis courts, a tree-top adventure centre and of course the vast sand dunes and surfing beach less than 4km away.
Discover the Courant d’Huchet that flows from L’Étang de Léon to the Atlantic, an idyllic place for paddling, boat trips and nature walks through the reserve. A little further afield, spend the day soaking up the trendy vibe in Hossegor, often referred to as the surfing capital of France, or continue onwards for yet more surfing beaches alongside shopping, museums, an indoor market and fine Basque dining in the much-loved town of Biarritz, around an hour away by car.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa & Lodge LittoralA short drive from the surfing beaches and sandy dunes of the Landes coastline, the villa and lodge are situated on the edge of a forest near the pretty village of Moliets-et-Maa.
The nearest airport is Biarritz (San Sebastian and Bordeaux Airports are also worth considering) whilst the closest ferry port is across the Spanish border in Bilbao. If arriving by train, there are TGV services from Paris Gare Montparnasse to Gare de Dax (35km).
The villa and separate lodge are in a semi-rural setting with other neighbouring houses, around 1.6km from a supermarket. The traditional village centre of Moliets-et-Maa is a little further, home to a bakery, butchers, tabac, pharmacy and a couple of places to eat. Moliets-et-Maa continues towards the coast where you will find more seasonal restaurants, surfing schools, tennis courts and the Robert Trent Jones designed golf course with wonderful views. The beach at Moliets-et-Maa is fantastic for surfers and lessons can be organised.
The gentle waters of the 12km-long Courant d’Huchet flow from L’Étang de Léon, ideal for paddling and summer boat trips where you can learn all about the incredible nature around you. There are also idyllic walks through the marshlands of the Réserve Naturelle du Courant d'Huchet. Come across more walking alongside cycling and fishing (with a permit) around the nature reserves of Étang de la Prade and Étang de Moliets.
Bikes are a superb way to explore the local area (bike and walking routes can be found straight from the villa/lodge’s doorsteps) – arrange bike hire in advance if needed and ask for them to be delivered straight to the property. La Vélodyssée is a network of cycling paths that connect the coast, local villages and forests.
Both surfers and gastronomes will be keen to spend time in the trendy town of Hossegor (25km), often referred to as the surfing capital of France. There are gentler water-based activities around the picturesque Lac d'Hossegor just parallel to the Atlantic coast.
Discover further sweeping beaches along the Côte d'Argent, travelling even as far as Plage de Mimizan (53km) or even the bay of Arcachon (127km), the perfect place for oysters and white wine overlooking the bay. The great wine city of Bordeaux (147km) is another great day out, reached in less than two hours by car.
Heading south instead, soak up the vibrant ambience of Biarritz (78km), also famed for its surfing spots (Plage de la Côte des Basques and Guéthary, for example). Meanwhile, the handsome city of Bayonne (63km) will appeal to history lovers with its traditional Basque architecture, impressive cathedral, museums, chocolate shops and riverside setting.

100% recommend
We had a great week with 18 people. The house is very nice and quiet. The equipment is high quality, also for the children there were toys and many outdoor activities for young and old. I can 100% recommend this place and landlord and would rent the house again anytime. Thank you for the wonderful stay and the nice, uncomplicated communication.
Au revoir! -
A Fabulous Holiday
Great house to spend the week, it delivered on what all levels and matched the description and pictures on the listing. We had a fabulous holiday and will remember this house with fond memories. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this listing to any family looking to spend time in the house and the adjoining area.

We had a great time!

We highly recommend!
Our stay at Villa & Lodge Littoral was fantastic. We used both the villa and lodge and both were well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The outdoor space and activities are great. We loved the surrounding area and the owners provided good tips on activities and services. The concierge was also very helpful and responsive. And we also enjoyed some wonderful food from the local chef. It's clear that this is a special place to the owner's family, and we are grateful that they shared it with us. We highly recommend!
