It’s the perfect location to explore the Landes region, its nature, coastline, lakes, and charming towns by the ocean or inland.

Activities to create wonderful family holiday memories

Guided fatbike outings, surf lessons, beach volleyball matches, pottery workshops, relaxing moments by the pool, environmental awareness workshops… There’s no shortage of family-friendly activities in our natural setting. No matter the season you visit, the exceptional environment of the Landes and the services offered guarantee a stay filled with unforgettable cycling outings and fun activities to enjoy with your children.

Kids’ and teens’ clubs for the happiness of both parents and children

Do you love exploring new places by bike, but your children don’t always want to follow you on your two-wheeled adventures? Would you like to try one of the many cycling loops, but it might be a bit too long or challenging for your little ones? Naturéo offers two clubs so you can leave your children in good hands while you enjoy your bike rides! The kids’ club welcomes children aged 4 to 11, and the teens’ club is for those aged 12 to 17. This service is free for eco-resort guests.

On-site bike rentals and guided fatbike tours

Naturéo is certified “Accueil Vélo,” meaning that touring cyclists and families are particularly well catered for with dedicated services.

Our partner Joe Bike, located within the resort itself, offers a wide range of bikes (city bikes, mountain bikes, electric bikes, children’s bikes) as well as all necessary accessories (baby seat, trailer, etc.).

You can book your bikes online or directly at the Joe Bike shop at Naturéo. Activities such as guided fatbike tours on the beach or in the pine forest are available depending on seasonal conditions.
