MOLIETS-ET-MAA 

​

Moliets-et-Maa is a popular holiday destination on France’s beautiful Atlantic coast, set between the Landes pine forest and the ocean. Famous for its wide sandy beaches, excellent surfing conditions, family-friendly atmosphere and championship golf course, Moliets is ideal for couples, families, groups and surfing holidays. Our airport transfer service offers comfortable, reliable transport from Bordeaux Airport, with a typical journey time of approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, and from Biarritz Airport, approximately 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic. We provide direct transfers to hotels, campsites, surf camps, holiday residences and private villas throughout Moliets-et-Maa.

​

Surfing is one of the main attractions in Moliets, with waves suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced surfers. Visitors can book group courses, private tuition and equipment hire with local operators such as Moliets Surf School, located near the central beach, or Golf Surf School at Plage des Chênes-Lièges. Several international surf camps also operate during the summer season, offering accommodation, lessons and social activities.

​

The beaches are also popular for swimming and relaxing. Moliets Central Beach and Plage des Chênes-Lièges have supervised swimming areas with qualified lifeguards during the main holiday season. Central Beach is generally supervised from May until the end of September, although operating dates and hours vary throughout the season. Visitors should always swim between the safety flags, follow lifeguard instructions and check the daily beach signs because Atlantic waves, currents and tides can be powerful. Swimming close to the mouth of the Courant d’Huchet can be dangerous and may be prohibited.

​

Away from the water, visitors can explore scenic cycling and walking routes through the Landes forest, enjoy paddleboarding or kayaking, visit the Courant d’Huchet Nature Reserve, try horse riding, spend a day at Adrenaline Parc or play a round at the prestigious Golf de Moliets. The network of mostly flat forest trails makes cycling an enjoyable way for families and groups to travel between the village, beaches, accommodation and neighbouring coastal resorts.

​

Moliets has accommodation for a wide range of budgets, including beachfront hotels, holiday apartments, villas, surf camps and family campsites. Popular choices include Camping Le Saint Martin, Pierre & Vacances Village Moliets, Camping Les Cigales, Capfun Landisland and several organised surf camps close to Moliets-Plage. Availability can be limited during July and August, so early reservations are recommended.

​

There is also a good choice of restaurants around the village and beachfront, serving seafood, pizzas, burgers, tapas, traditional French dishes and regional Landes specialities. Well-known options include La Cave aux Moules, Restaurant de l’Océan, La Cagette, Le Champoreau and Café de la Plage. Many restaurants have outdoor terraces that are ideal for enjoying dinner or drinks during warm summer evenings.

​

For evening entertainment, the Moliets-Plage area becomes livelier during the summer, with music, cocktails and a relaxed surf-holiday atmosphere. Popular places have included L’Open, Beach Break and Zoo Bar, where visitors can meet for drinks, tapas and seasonal events. Moliets is better known for casual beach bars and late-night summer venues than for large traditional nightclubs, although surf camps often organise parties and social evenings for their guests. Opening days and events can change outside the peak season, so visitors should check each venue’s latest information before travelling.

​

Whether you are travelling to Moliets-et-Maa for surfing, cycling, golf, nightlife or a relaxing family beach holiday, our professional airport transfer service provides a comfortable, reliable and stress-free door-to-door journey. ​
