Villa jendy Overview

You know what struck me first about Villa Jendy? It’s this gorgeous little place tucked away on Avenue de la Petre that feels like you’ve stumbled into someone’s incredibly stylish private home – which, honestly, is probably exactly what happened here. The owners clearly said “forget the hotel star system” and just created something completely their own, and I mean that in the best possible way.

The thing about Soustons is that most people blow right through on their way to the bigger beach towns, but Villa Jendy gives you a reason to actually stop and explore this sleepy corner of the Landes. I loved that I could walk to the lake in the morning – it’s this peaceful stretch of water that locals use for paddle boarding and fishing, way more chill than the Atlantic coast crowds. The hotel itself has this boutique vibe that’s polished without being stuffy, you know? Each room feels curated rather than cookie-cutter, with local touches that actually mean something instead of generic “French countryside” décor. The breakfast situation is particularly good – they source ingredients from nearby farms, and you can tell because everything tastes like it was picked yesterday.

What really sold me on the place was how the staff genuinely knew the area. When I mentioned wanting to hit some surf spots, they didn’t just hand me a generic brochure – they told me exactly which beaches work best depending on the swell direction and even called ahead to their friend who runs a board rental place in Vieux-Boucau. That’s the kind of local knowledge you can’t fake. The property itself is quiet (thank god, because some of these boutique places can be all style and paper-thin walls), and there’s actually decent parking, which matters more than you’d think when you’re hauling surf gear around. I stayed during shoulder season in late September, and honestly, that might be the sweet spot – warm enough for the beach but without the summer chaos, and the hotel feels more intimate when it’s not completely packed. If you’re looking for a place that feels authentically connected to this part of France rather than just dropped in for tourists, Villa Jendy gets it right.
