Haaïtza: Hotel in Pyla

Haaïtza: The timeless elegance of Pyla

A haven for the elite seeking tranquility, this iconic address blends history, refinement, and a touch of modernity, offering an exceptional getaway on the Atlantic coast.

Located just steps from the Dune du Pilat and the fine sandy beaches of the Arcachon Basin, Hotel Haaïtza enjoys an exceptional natural setting. This peaceful retreat is the perfect stop for those wishing to explore the region’s treasures: picturesque oyster villages, fragrant pine forests, and boat excursions to Île aux Oiseaux or Banc d’Arguin. Between sky and sea, Haaïtza offers the perfect balance of escape and absolute comfort.

Haaïtza’s history dates back to the 1930s when it became an emblematic destination in Pyla. Completely renovated by Philippe Starck, the hotel has preserved its soul while embracing a contemporary aesthetic. The subtle blend of noble materials, light play, and designer elements gives the space a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. Every corner is an ode to the timeless charm of the Arcachon Basin, infused with Starck’s signature minimalist elegance.

With only around thirty rooms and suites, Hotel Haaïtza prioritizes exclusivity and intimacy. Each room is a haven of softness, featuring light wood, natural linen, and soothing tones reminiscent of the marine environment. Some rooms offer private balconies with views of the pines or the coastline, inviting peaceful contemplation. Here, every detail is designed for a unique sensory experience, blending noble materials and custom-made furniture.

Haaïtza’s culinary offering is a true gastronomic journey, orchestrated by a Michelin-starred chef. The restaurant presents refined cuisine that highlights local products: Arcachon oysters, freshly caught fish, organic vegetables, and carefully selected wines. In an elegant and intimate setting, guests savor exceptional dishes that harmonize with the enchanting surroundings. The hotel also features a patisserie where sweet delights awaken the senses, and a cocktail bar offering original creations at sunset.

Hotel Haaïtza is more than just an idyllic retreat; it invites deep relaxation. Its luxurious spa offers a range of treatments inspired by marine rituals, including a hammam, indoor pool, and massage cabins. A state-of-the-art gym, yoga sessions, and personalized wellness programs complete the experience. To perfect the stay, the hotel offers high-end services, from valet parking to tailor-made excursions, ensuring a seamless and exceptional visit.

Hotel Haaïtza is more than a secret hideaway; it is a destination in itself, a sanctuary where luxury, serenity, and elegance come together to offer an unforgettable experience on the Atlantic coast.
