Discover the Landes with Ushuaïa Villages

Famous for its vast beaches with evocative names, its many freshwater lakes and its pine forests as far as the eye can see, the Landes is a natural paradise in south-west France, between the Gironde and the Basque country.

This unrivalled département is home to an incredible reserve of biodiversity in the Parc naturel régional des Landes de Gascogne: ideal for nature lovers, walkers, hikers, swimmers, cyclists and water enthusiasts... not to mention the cultural and gastronomic heritage of this rich territory!

Famous water sports spots

From Biscarrosse to Hossegor, passing through Vieux-Boucau and Mimizan, in the heart of the Landes forest, the Landes department is world-renowned for its surf spots, its unique atmosphere on the Atlantic coast of the South-West, its seaside resorts and its vibrant local life... and its ability to relax!

That's the spirit of Ushuaïa Villages in the middle of the Landes, to have created a privileged space of calm and relaxation to breathe, while allowing you to explore the surrounding area and enjoy the region's treasures. So, in addition to the waves of Capbreton or Seignosse, you can enjoy a canoe trip on the Hossegor canal, or rent a paddle, pedalo or catamaran on the Lac d'Arjuzanx.

A protected natural site

The Landes can also be explored on horseback through the immense pine forest reserve, and can easily be explored on foot or by bike. Discover the unique scents of the region, lulled by the gentle sound of the ocean, which is never far away in the Landes: in Soustons, the town of five lakes, you're just a stone's throw from the seafront.

An exceptional cultural heritage

The Landes is a jewel case of greenery and a marvel for the senses of holidaymakers who come to take a breather from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But it's much more than that! It's a land rich in tradition, gastronomy and local produce, vineyards with the famous Armagnac, and historic towns to visit.

In mid-August, Dax is decked out in red and white for the famous férias. In this department, the birthplace of foie gras and duck breast, you can also enjoy fish and seafood fresher than nature, with views of the ocean or pine forests.

The Landes also has a number of spa resorts to relax in, Mont-de-Marsan to visit for its picturesque downtown streets, and the thousand-year-old town of Roquefort... from your Ushuaïa Villages during your stay in this region, keep your senses alert to explore this immense field of possibilities in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
