What makes Moliets Plage a great villa resort?
Moliets is a popular beach resort on the south west coast, set in the pine forests, with sandy Atlantic beaches and lakes close by. It's an ideal location for tennis, golf, surfing, cycling and so well-suited to active holidays for families, couples and groups of friends. There are restaurants, cafes, basic shops and a little bit of nightlife at the sea-front.
The villas are modern and 'uncluttered' and work perfectly for beach holidays.
Best for ...
- Families with active children will love Moliets' range of activities; older kids can be independent here too.
- Also ideal for groups of friends/couples looking for a surfing or golfing holiday, especially out of season when prices are very attractive.
Suitability for:
- Toddlers - will require supervision around pools (protected by alarm or cover, not fence).
- Teenagers - very good, lots to do in Moliets, and easy to roam independently
- Reduced mobility - some villas have level access and ground floor bedrooms/ bathrooms - please enquire for advice.
Anything to watch out for?
Moliets has many advantages as a holiday destination, however if French character, total privacy and charm are your priorities we recommend our collection of Private Villas with Pools
