We
offer 2, 3, 4 and 4/5 bedroom villas with private pool
at Moliets. All the villas are built around the famous Golf
de Moliets - a course ranked 9th best in France.
All villas are within a short cycle ride of the
sandy Atlantic beaches and some are walkable
to the beach.
The villas are contemporary in style, combining
traditional Landais architectural features such as oak beams and
terracotta tiled roof, with a modern, American summer house appearance.
They are spacious, light, equipped with all mod cons and provide
a generous amount of outdoor space.
Perfect for families seeking an active seaside
and sporty holiday, they are also well-suited of course for groups
of golfers particularly outside July and August when prices
are lower and green fee discounts are possible.
These villas are less suitable if it's rural and rustic French tradition
that you are seeking - we suggest browsing our Villas
& Cottages range for such properties.
There are three styles of villa available
at Moliets. Club Aquitaine and Club Royal are of a very similar standard whereas Club Clairiere represents the pick of the three sites for quality and services.
• Club Aquitaine Villas - good standard 2,
3 and 4 bed villas: more info
• Club Royal Villas - good standard 3 and 4 bed villas:
more info
•
Club Clairière Villas -
high standard 3 and 4 bed villas: more
info
Plus there's also Club Prestige at Messanges. This site is the newest yet and is situated just behind Club Royal (La Prade) and Club Clairiere and so, in effect, is practically a 4th Moliets Mer & Golf site. Looking at the map of Moliets, Club Prestige is in the bottom right-hand corner by the Etang de la Prade - where the horse's head is!

About
Moliets
Moliets
Tourist Office
Moliets
is known as something of an oasis amongst the endless pines of western
Europe's largest forest. It's basically a big playground! Here's
a selection of some the activities you can pursue in the resort:
• Golf course & training centre - one
of continental Europe's Top 50 courses
• Surfing - championship surf conditions
plus a local surf club for tuition
• Land-yachting - the quickest way to cover
several kms of sandy beach!
• Kite-surfing - windsurfing and surfing
combined
• Sailing - sailing school at lac de Léon
(7 kms)
• Canoeing / kayaking - take the Courant d'Huchet
from lac de Léon to the ocean
• Horse-riding - local equestrian centre
for guided excursions in the forest or along the surf
• Tennis - several courts at the golf club
• Cycling - 12 kms of safe and shady forest
cycle tracks
• Nature trails - several tracks criss-crossing
the dunes, forests and around the lakes
• Windsurfing - at the ocean or at lac de
Léon
• Adrenaline Park - includes quad biking
& karting
• Children's farm where the kids can see
animals of the region including the Gascony pig!
• Scenic flights to get a real sense of the
Cote Landaise geography
• Cross-country skiing on pine needles!

Golf
Moliets
Golf Club
Designed by Robert Trent Jones in 1988, Moliets is a monster of
a course. The course is ranked in Continental Europe's Top 50 and
9th best course in France. It is currently used on the European
PGA Challenge Tour.
Whilst it's a relatively new course, the surrounding forest dates
back to the early 1900s. American in its layout, the course takes
in parkland (yes, you've guessed it - a pine forest!) and links-style
golf. In fact, it's the seaside holes, 13, 14, 15 and 16, that make
for the most attractive golf on the course.
The 18 hole course is a shade under 7000 yards, par 72. There is
also a 9 hole course and golf training centre.
Green fees for the championship course start at around €50
depending on the season, although the purchase of a Golf Pass
is recommended - this gives you discounted access to five local
courses.

Discover
the Côte
Landaise region of Aquitaine
Whilst Moliets is ideal for those seeking an active holiday without
straying too far from the villa, there are a host of potential day-trips
slightly further afield…Bordeaux, Biarritz
and the numerous vineyards of the Gironde, for
instance.
The local town of Léon has a distinctly
laid-back feel to it. It has a couple of restaurants, shops, supermarkets
and a tourist office. There are plenty of local markets
to enjoy including Léon (every day from mid June to mid Sep
and Tuesday all year round); Moliets-Plage (Monday and Thursday
all year round and Saturday in July and August); and Dax (Saturday
and Sunday).
To sample a pastime particular to the south west, visit Vieux-Boucau
to watch course landaise (a less gory
version of bull-fighting) and the Basque-invented pelota,
the fastest ball-game in the world. If you’d like to learn
more about the Landaise culture and traditions, try the eco-museum
at nearby Sabres.
Our suggestions for day-trips include:
• ARCACHON
This popular and stylish French favourite provides plenty of options
for visitors. Ferries run from Arcachon to a host of destinations
including Cap Ferret, a smart resort on the other
side of the Bassin d’Arcachon and to the beautiful Banc
d’Arguin, a sand-bank nature reserve. The Banc d’Arguin
sits at the foot of the famous Dune du Pilat which
at over 100 metres is the largest sand dune in Europe. A journey
to the summit (try it without the staircase provided!) is a must;
sunrise and sunset are the best times.
Back into Arcachon, stroll along the seafront or through the delightful
Ville d’Hiver (Winter Town) and explore its
fabulous collection of eclectic villas. There is also a lovely park
to cool off in the shade and watch the locals play petanques. The
Bassin d’Arcachon is packed full of oyster farms and you will
have no difficulty finding a supply of these slimy crustaceans to
dine on in one of the town’s many seafood restaurants.
• BIARRITZ & ST
JEAN DE LUZ
An hour’s drive south are the sophisticated resorts of Biarritz
and St Jean de Luz, the south Atlantic’s riposte to the Côte
d’Azur. Both provide excellent beaches, cuisine and up-market
shopping as well as a good introduction to the Spanish-influenced
Pays Basque. If you have time, drop into the regional
capital, Bayonne. Famed for its ham and its chocolates,
Bayonne was under English rule for 300 years. It is much under-rated
and worth a trip to see its cathedral and walk its ancient streets.
• SPA & THALASSOTHERAPY
In France, the south west is known for its rejuvenating
waters, both salt and fresh varieties. Nearby Dax
is the official spa capital of France and is a 25 minute drive from
the villas. The Côte Basque – Hendaye, St Jean de Luz
and Biarritz - is home to numerous thalassotherapy centres.
• LAKES OF AQUITAINE
The freshwater lakes that punctuate the forest are a great
alternative to the ocean and provide safer bathing for children.
Rather like the Lake District in England, each lake, or étang,
has its own atmosphere. Near to the villas are the étangs
Aureilhan and Léon. Both
are relatively small and delightfully tranquil; at the latter you
can canoe from the lake along the serene Courant d’Huchet
to the ocean’s edge.
• WINE-TASTING
If you’re feeling ‘beached out’ why
not take the opportunity to explore some of the region’s vineyards?
The famous Graves and Sauternes
vineyards are an hour’s drive north east in the direction
of Bordeaux and Langon.
