Overview

Moliets is to French golf what St Andrews is to Scottish – an internationally renowned course offers a sea-splashed round or two for the golfer who loves a challenge. Moliets is a secluded little place, sheltered by the Landes pine forest – a perfect place for a stroll. At the forest's edge is Moliets-Plage, the 3 kilometre wide beach resort, developed sensitively, and with great charm. Gastronomes will discover the region is just one huge, open-air deli with its foie gras, conserves and pâtés. Hearty food demands hearty exercise – and you've got it here. From surfing to cycling, Moliets is outdoor living personified. The holiday village at Moliets has to be one of your first choices if you're looking for an active family holiday set in tranquil surroundings. Sounds implausibly like wanting the best of both worlds, doesn't it? But, trust us, there's four swimming pools, a raft of sports to try, and all surrounded by the enchanting, forested coastline of southwest France.
