The Jump Ocean Resort forms a natural haven nestled
in the pine forest that runs along the unspoilt coastline
of south-western France, renowned for its mild microclimate.

The bracing
Atlantic coast, with its endless sandy beaches, is a ten-minute
walk away (with no roads to cross), through the garden and along
peaceful footpaths amidst superb natural surroundings abounding
in wildlife such as squirrels, hares and deer.
This part of France is renowned for its hospitality and tradition,
starting with a local gastronomy that features specialities
such as foie gras, duck, and splendid local wines.
The strong sense of traditional lifestyle is expressed through
colourful local customs such as the highly acrobatic (and altogether
non-bloodthirsty) bull running, ferias and Basque pelota matches.
But more leisurely pursuits are always at hand. Pilgrimage trails
to Santiago de Compostela run nearby, and spa bathing centres
offer the promise of invigorating rejuvenation. Everything adds
up to making the Landes region a very special place to stay.
