The most beautiful place in the world
The Dune of Pilat is a major national site and look-out post over the Bassin d’Arcachon, providing a breathtaking show from the La Co(o)rniche hotel and restaurant.
Opposite the establishment’s huge terrace, the Banc d’Arguin thrives in the tides and seasons coming and going, and this unique panorama remains a perpetual wonder.
“A place that is the strongest, most beautiful, most charming, most surreal, most powerful aspect of nature ” Philippe Starck
The hotel
“A natural theatre with gigantic dimensions, where terrestrial forces are constantly at work” Philippe Starck
La Co(o)rniche is a unique 5-star hotel on the side of the Dune of Pilat facing the Banc d’Arguin. It welcomes you to enjoy a holiday with friends, your family, or a romantic weekend in its 29 rooms.
The main house, with the typical neo-Basque architecture of the Bassin d’Arcachon, opens onto the lobby that’s been kept intact, retaining its dark wood and vintage frescoes, and has 10 double rooms and a Junior Suite.
Overlooking the pine trees, Cap Ferret-style Cabins like those oyster farmers used, house 18 Junior Suites with breathtaking panoramas of the ocean, the Banc d’Arguin and Cap Ferret.
The rooms at La Co(o)rniche are balconies onto nature!
The restaurant and bar
The terrace of La Co(o)rniche overlooks a breathtaking panorama!
Alone despite being surrounded by a host of tables, you will only have eyes for how vast the ocean is, from the Dune of Pilat to the headland of Cap Ferret, hypnotised by the view in the very special light of the Bassin.
And every day, as the tides wash back and forth, you’ll see a neverending show where the Banc d’Arguin is always the main character!
With seafood platters getting top billing, the restaurant’s menu offers a choice of starters and dishes depending on what’s at the market, where the focus is on fresh and local products. The outdoor bar on the other hand, which has a terrace that extends as close as possible to the Dune, has a menu of tapas, a medley of simple delights, and seafood.
At sunset, the terrace is decorated with a multitude of colourful lanterns, which contribute to the magic of the place, and the DJ’s music delights those who like to party until 2 am.
RESTAURANT OPEN FROM 12 AM TO 3 PM AND FROM 7 PM TO 10.30 PM BY BOOKING BAR OPEN FROM 12 AM TO 2 AM WITH NO BOOKING REQUIRED
