Why we picked this hotel
The hotel feels closer to a beautifully designed beach house than a traditional hotel, combining minimalist rooms, terraces, hammocks, yoga and sauna rituals in a way that fits naturally with the slower rhythm of the peninsula
Hotel description
Hôtel des Dunes sits just behind the Atlantic dunes in Cap Ferret, a few steps from the ocean and close to the lighthouse. It has the easy feeling of a refined beach house, with sandy paths, pine trees, surf air, and the village’s oyster huts and bay beaches nearby. The atmosphere is calm and deliberately pared back, with no televisions in the rooms, furnished balconies or terraces, and a soft West Coast-inspired style. It is made for slow coastal days, bike rides, beach walks, yoga, sauna time, and quiet mornings before heading out across the peninsula.
Our take on the stay
Bob
Hôtel des Dunes captures the relaxed spirit of Cap Ferret beautifully, with white timber buildings, sandy paths, surf-inspired interiors and the Atlantic just beyond the dunes

About the destination
Cap ferret
Cap Ferret stretches along a narrow peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and the calm waters of Arcachon Bay, where pine forests, oyster huts, and sandy paths shape the landscape. Life here revolves around the outdoors, with cycling routes, quiet beaches, and small villages scattered between the dunes. Hotel des Dunes is set within this natural setting, close to both the ocean and the slower coastal rhythm that defines Cap Ferret.
