The best spots to rent your next holiday home in the Arcachon Bay area
Ah, Arcachon Bay, with its 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, its beaches, dunes, pine forests, and iconic stilted cabins… The attractions here are endless, and each spot seems more stunning than the last. Whether you’re exploring Cap Ferret, the Dune of Pilat, Arcachon, or the charming seaside and oyster-farming villages around the bay, you’ll find vacation villas that promise unforgettable stays. Every corner of the bay offers a unique vibe and vacation experience.
Prefer to lounge with your feet in the water? Head to Pyla and its stunning villas with pools that overlook the sea. For an active getaway, surfers—whether just for a day or a lifetime—will find their paradise on the Cap Ferret Peninsula. History lovers will be enchanted by the 19th-century Arcachon villas, remnants of the bay’s golden age, still exuding their former splendor. Guaranteed premium vacation. All you need now are the top restaurants, cafés, bars, and beaches to complete your perfect vacation—and luckily, we’ve got plenty of those to share too!

Le Pyla
Vacation with your feet in the sand at the Bassin d’Arcachon
The day begins beautifully with a panoramic view of the Dune du Pilat at La Co(o)rniche café. After a cappuccino and a pastry (on the terrace), it’s time to climb the largest dune in Europe. After the effort comes the comfort, in the most stunning villas of Pyla-sur-Mer. At Villa Montbel, a neo-Basque residence, you can enjoy the beach just steps away or relax by the pool nestled in the lush garden. For an afternoon treat, a stop at Notz bakery is a must. Their bread and chocolate croissants are beloved by anyone with a sweet tooth.
After a refreshing dip in the pool at Villa Ciel et Mer, end the day with a taste of the sea: oysters and local white wine at Café Ha(a)itza. Another (even more delightful and exclusive) option is a dinner with your feet in the water on the private dock that comes with the vacation home. Not in the mood to cook? A private chef can take care of that, preparing the best local dishes: fresh fish, oysters, caviar, foie gras…
