A sophisticated beach retreat, Hôtel La Co(o)rniche is a fem of Pyla-Sur-Mer. With an iterior by Philippe Starck, it is undeniably striking.
The scent of maritime pine reaches you before the cabin does. Le Cœur du Ferret sits deep in the Cap Ferret forest, a short walk from the oyster shacks and Atlantic swells that give this peninsula its particular hold on people. Iconic House have stripped the interior back to raw wood, linen and low lighting (the kind of place where phones feel out of place). Though Cap Ferret draws a knowing Parisian crowd each summer, the cabin sits removed enough to feel like a secret. Arrive without a plan. That is the point.
Cap Ferret is one of our favourite spots for a summertime getaway, and this stylish French seafood restaurant is a stalwart whenever we're there. The cocktails are just as good as the food.
