Behind the SHL Lodge are owners passionate about the art of living and hospitality. At the helm of the renowned Château Smith Haut Lafitte, the family wanted to create an exceptional place that reflects their expertise in welcoming guests. “We were immediately drawn to this rare location in Cap Ferret, where you can enjoy direct access to the beach and spectacular sunsets over the basin.”
The name SHL is a nod to their grand cru classé, Smith Haut Lafitte, while also capturing the spirit of the place: Surf Hors Limite. It’s a way of blending the art of winemaking with the laid-back, free-spirited vibe of Cap Ferret—where life flows to the rhythm of the basin and the ocean.

Fully renovated in 2016, the villa was almost entirely torn down and rebuilt with the help of the renowned Bordeaux-based agency, L’Arsenal. “We wanted a home that honored the local aesthetic while offering modern comfort. We took inspiration from Cap Ferret’s wooden cabins, using a solid structure to ensure optimal soundproofing and thermal insulation.” The architecture is designed to make the most of natural light, which floods into each room. The centerpiece? An airy staircase around which the cross-through living room unfolds. Outside, multiple terraces invite guests to relax—each one offering a spot to enjoy the sun, depending on the time of day.
The choice of materials further reinforces the villa’s harmony with its surroundings: noble wood flooring, cladding inspired by oyster huts, curated objects, and driftwood accents. The décor was personally crafted by the owners, drawing on their experience in luxury hospitality at Les Sources de Caudalie. Guests are also treated to Caudalie cosmetics during their stay. “We wanted to create a warm, welcoming space where you instantly feel at home—a blend of vintage charm and contemporary style.”

Tailor-made
experience
Experts in the art of (exceptional) hospitality, the owners of SHL Lodge have curated top-tier services to ensure guests enjoy a truly unforgettable stay. Daily housekeeping keeps the home immaculate, and a private chef can be arranged to prepare tailor-made meals. The highlight of the experience? A visit to the prestigious Château Smith Haut Lafitte.
For leisure, the villa offers bodyboards, a stand-up paddleboard, and a kayak—perfect for exploring the basin. “We want our guests to fully embrace the Cap Ferret lifestyle, balancing water adventures with pure relaxation.” For total immersion in the peaceful surroundings, private seaside yoga sessions can also be arranged.
Discovery lovers will be just as thrilled: bike rentals make it easy to explore Cap Ferret’s wild trails, while pinasse boat excursions offer a unique chance to sail to the Île aux Oiseaux or take in the breathtaking views of the Dune du Pilat.
