The first 5-star hotel on the peninsula, Villa Colette is located in the heart of the village of Cap-Ferret, a stone's throw from the Bélisaire jetty and the municipal market. The project is the brainchild of Laurent Taïeb, founder of Paris Society and creator of the TOO Hôtel and Madame Rêve in Paris, and features Philippe Starck's signature interior design. From the outside, the building's red brick and white wooden terraces give the illusion of a 19th-century Arcachon villa. Inside, the tone changes radically: powder pink, mahogany furniture, mirrors inlaid with AI-generated photographs, Starck carpets and Pierre Frey fabrics. The restaurant run by chef Benjamin Six overturns the codes of the South-West with a fusion cuisine - angus gyoza, black cod, Pierre Hermé pastries - in a room bathed in pink light. Guests come here to pedal under the pines, take a pinasse to the Dune du Pilat and savor oyster shells overlooking the basin. The hotel has just announced the acquisition of neighboring Côté Sable, which will soon bring the number of keys to over 28.
