The accommodations are not overlooked and spaced out, you will feel like you are alone in the world! For your cozy nest, you are spoiled for choice: a transparent bubble for total communion with nature, a futuristic geode with its huge suspended round bed, a cabin in the trees 4 meters above the ground, a traditional caravan, a typical Finnish kota. There really is something to satisfy all your desires! Fully equipped and comfortable, with private spa and homemade breakfast, the service lives up to these exceptional holidays.

The Cabanes du Menoy

If you want to recharge your batteries, it is in the Cabanes du Menoy that you have to go. The oak, which supports your perched house, crosses it at its heart and offers you a unique contact with nature. From your perch 7 m high, you can admire the pond, the meadows below and a breathtaking panorama of the Landes forest, while observing the animals in the woods. You are also very close to the Landes coast, between Vielle-Saint-Girons and Moliets-et-Mâa, to enjoy the beaches.

Nature Ocean Village

If you want to think you're Robinsoe Crusoe, you have to try the cabins on stilts at Nature Océan Village. They bear their names well: the "head in the stars" for the highest of the dune which allows an unprecedented observation of the sky; the “Robinson” for an immersion in the heart of the forest; the "adventurers", a large cabin to live the experience with others. The village is located in the middle of nature, but also offers you the advantages of the ocean, right next to the beaches of Messanges.

The Maison de Mézos and its gypsy caravans

Near Saint-Julien-en-Born and the seaside resort of Lit-et-Mixe, the Hôtel de Mézos offers beautiful rooms, suites and a family pavilion, as well as Gypsy caravans. The caravans have a vintage decoration, to immerse you in this bohemian atmosphere, very exotic. They are also cozy, with their bedroom with a queen-size bed, their fully equipped bathroom and their living room and terrace with a view of the lake.
