Just behind the dune, a stone’s throw from the lighthouse and the Plage des Dunes, the Hôtel des Dunes is one of the most sought-after boutique hotels in Cap Ferret. A small holiday home turned into a hotel, with a clean style somewhere between an oyster hut and Californian surf culture.

Our verdict
For a stay on the ocean side of Cap Ferret, it is one of the nicest places on the peninsula: few rooms, a calm atmosphere and the beach within walking distance. Rooms go quickly in summer, so book early for July and August, or come in the shoulder season, which is often milder and quieter.
