Hotel de La Plage in Saint-Julien-en-Born

Hotel highlights

Discover ocean views and local cuisine at Hotel De La Plage

Set about 100 meters from the Atlantic shoreline, Hotel De La Plage sits at the edge of the seaside village of Contis-les-Bains, with some terraces even catching a glimpse of the Contis lighthouse on clear mornings. Rooms come with a flat-screen TV and a private terrace overlooking the inner patio, so you can watch the sunrise with a coffee in hand. Many guests take a short walk into town for the weekly market in Saint-Julien-en-Born to buy fresh bread and regional cheese, a small local ritual that tends to be right up your street if you like simple, authentic food.

Breakfast is served buffet style and often features local products from the Landes, such as smoked fish and homemade jams, while the hotel restaurant focuses on regional cuisine prepared from nearby producers. The ground-floor terrace is a comfortable spot to relax after a day at the beach, and the staff can point you toward lesser-known coastal paths if you prefer quieter walks. Pack a light windbreaker for seaside evenings, which can cool quickly even in summer.

Outdoor activities around Contis include surfing at the main beach, canoeing and fishing on surrounding waterways, horseback riding along marked trails, and hiking through the pine forests toward Uza Lake. Cyclists will find secure bike storage and basic maintenance tools on site, making Hotel De La Plage a convenient choice for self-guided cycling routes between Contis-les-Bains and nearby seaside towns. For travellers focusing on accommodation with ocean views and easy access to outdoor sports, this hotel is a practical, well-situated option in the Landes.
