Getting there and practical details

Neighborhood
Seignosse, a few minutes from Hossegor

Ocean Shelter can host a company offsite, a training course, a retreat or a small private celebration for up to 50 guests, with sleeping, working and eating all on one site. The property is booked by a single group at a time. It covers 10,000 m² of pine woodland at 196 route de Vieux-Boucau in Seignosse, on the Landes coast a few minutes from Hossegor.

Seminars and company events

The venue is built around the offsite format: work sessions in the morning, shared meals, time outdoors and a walk to the ocean between sessions. A full team can meet in the 75 m² event room, then split into smaller groups in the 50 m² geodesic dome and in the other indoor and outdoor spaces. The site lists high-speed Wi-Fi, a screen set-up, a whiteboard and flexible layouts, with workspaces both indoors and outside.

Because the group stays on site, a two- or three-day program can run without transfers. Ocean Shelter can also put organizers in touch with local facilitators and coaches for the content of the program, or the company can bring its own team.

Retreats and trainings are a second use. The venue welcomes yoga, surf, movement and creative retreats, and the spaces can change use during a stay. Organizers bring their own teachers or ask for local contacts.

Weddings and receptions

Ocean Shelter takes intimate weddings, birthdays and reunions. The group books the whole property, with its accommodation, kitchens, terraces and outdoor spaces, so guests can celebrate and stay the night on site. The 50-guest limit applies to these events too. DJs and caterers can be found through the venue's local partners.

Rooms and capacities

The event room covers 75 m² and the geodesic dome 50 m². Additional indoor and outdoor spaces serve breakout groups and informal sessions. The overall limit for a booking is 50 guests. The site does not publish a seated or theater figure for each room, so ask the team for the right layout before you confirm.

Accommodation

Beds are spread across the property in houses, cabins and guest rooms, open year-round. Sleeping arrangements are flexible and the whole site sleeps up to 50 guests. The number of bedrooms is not published. Shared kitchens, living spaces and terraces sit alongside the accommodation, and guests have the use of a pool and a jacuzzi.

Catering

Ocean Shelter does not run its own restaurant. The shared kitchens let a group cook for itself, and the team can connect organizers with local chefs and caterers for meals during the stay. The same partner network covers surf schools, yoga teachers, massage therapists, DJs, facilitators and coaches.

History and setting

The site stands among pine trees behind the dune, with direct access across the dune to the Atlantic beach. Hossegor and its surf breaks are a few minutes away. The setting is meant to be part of the program: terraces, forest paths, the pool and the ocean are all within the grounds or a short walk.
