Many families who travel with us have never surfed before, but they quickly discover the joy of unwinding and leaving everyday stress behind in the ocean.
The beach stretches endlessly with soft sand, making it ideal for everyone in the family to enjoy their vacation. We strive to create an unforgettable experience where everyone feels great – no matter their age. For us, it’s not just about the activities, but about sharing a lifestyle with those who want to be part of it.

For the youngest ones, aged 2 – 6, there are special activities throughout the day, giving parents the opportunity to enjoy some time for themselves – whether that means catching waves, relaxing on the beach, working out, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

Had a fantastic family trip to Montalivet in France with our children aged 6-10 years. Cheap flights to Bordeaux where we rented a car – we can recommend renting a car as there are many small gems in the area within driving distance for day trips, including climbing park, Grande Dune du Pilat, wineries etc.
Life at the camp is super cozy and relaxed. With shared food, a “trust bar”, board games, etc., both children and adults quickly made new friends and played / socialized in all generations.
As non-classic camping types, we were very pleasantly surprised by the tipi tents with shelves for clothes, chairs, tables and real beds!
Montalivet itself is a 10-minute walk from the camp and houses many small restaurants and markets, if the otherwise good food in the camp is to be supplemented.
The days flew by with surfing in the morning and evening, the coziness of the camp and day trips. The days ended with an evening session in good company on the beach.
We ended the trip with a few days in Biscarosse after the camp – can also be recommended!
5 star trip !!! We are coming back!
