How much does a villa in Seignosse cost?
Seignosse sits on the Atlantic coast of the Landes, between Hossegor and Capbreton, about 40 minutes north of Biarritz. The holiday rental market ranges from small family houses to architect-designed villas with concierge services. Here are the weekly price ranges generally seen across the area (Seignosse Océan, Le Penon, Les Estagnots and the village).
| Range | Typical profile | Sleeps | Weekly price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry level | Standard house, unheated or shared pool | 4 to 6 | €900 to €2,000 |
| Mid-range | Villa with private heated pool and garden | 6 to 8 | €2,000 to €4,500 |
| Luxury | Architect-designed villa, en-suite bedrooms, concierge | 8 to 12 | €4,500 to €8,500 |
These ranges are a guide only: prices vary from week to week (the week of 15 August costs more than the last week of August) and with distance to the ocean.
Prices by season and when to book
In Seignosse, most owners split the year into a high season (mid-June to mid-September, usually rented by the week only) and a low or mid season, when short breaks become possible.
| Period | Indicative weekly price (villa for 8 to 12) | Format | Book |
|---|---|---|---|
| July and August | €4,500 to €8,500 | Weekly | 5 to 6 months ahead (January to February) |
| Second half of June, first half of September | €3,500 to €6,500 | Weekly | 2 to 3 months ahead |
| May, late September and October | €2,000 to €4,000 | Weekly or short stay | 1 to 2 months ahead |
| Winter, autumn half-term, long weekends | €1,500 to €3,000 | Short stays possible | A few weeks ahead |
For the beach and the pool
July and August bring 25 to 30 °C in the shade of the pines and sea temperatures around 20 to 22 °C. The beaches at Le Penon and Les Estagnots get busier at weekends: a villa with a heated pool lets you enjoy the ocean in the morning and lazy afternoons at home.
For surfing
Summer brings smaller waves, ideal for beginners and improvers. The best swells arrive from September to November, with far fewer people in the water. The Seignosse and Hossegor breaks are among the most consistent in Europe.
For a quiet break or remote work
From late September to May, golden light over the pine forest, still-mild water in autumn and much lower prices make Seignosse ideal for a long weekend, a retreat or a workation.
What drives the price of a villa
- Real capacity: check the number of beds, not just “sleeping places” (a sofa bed is not a bedroom).
- Bathrooms: one bathroom per bedroom makes all the difference for a group of 10.
- The pool: private or shared, heated or not, secured (cover, alarm or fence, which is a legal requirement in France).
- Air conditioning: increasingly valued during hot summers in the Landes.
- Distance to the ocean: on foot, by bike or by car, and access to cycle paths.
- Minimum stay: often 7 nights in summer, 2 to 4 nights out of season.
- Services: linen and cleaning included or not, concierge, private chef, wellness.
The real cost per person
Per person, a large villa often costs less than several hotel rooms, and comes with a kitchen, a private pool and shared living space.
Example with Villa Madeleine, for a group of 11
High season: €6,300 per week, about €573 per person for 7 nights, or €82 per person per night, with linen and end-of-stay cleaning included.
Out of season: €490 per night, or about €45 per person per night.
For comparison, 6 double rooms in a 4-star hotel on the coast at €250 a night add up to €10,500 a week, with no private pool or kitchen.
