70 Hectares... & l'Océan
Seignosse, France · Fontenille Collection · Core Luxury
For nearly a decade, the golf hotel overlooking Seignosse's course sat empty and fading into the pines. Frédéric Biousse, the former CEO who built SMCP's Sandro and Maje empire, and art historian Guillaume Foucher bought it in 2019 and reopened it in June 2021 as 70 Hectares... & l'Océan, a name that nods to the golf course's footprint and the Atlantic just beyond. The 32 rooms and suites climb through the pine canopy toward ocean views, and SEI, the hotel's restaurant, pairs Japanese izakaya small plates with Landes produce.
