Guesthouse in Soulac-sur-Mer : your haven of peace between the forest and the sea

Nestled in the heart of the Pointe du Médoc, Zen Ocean Soulac extends a warm welcome to its guests in an atmosphere of tranquility and calm. Just 300 metres from the sandy shores of Plage des Arros and a short stroll from the fragrant pine forest, this is more than just a place to stay; it is a sanctuary for those seeking to unwind, breathe deeply, and reconnect. Your host, Katja Thomsen, a Franco-German yoga teacher and shiatsu therapist, has lovingly transformed this charming white house with lavender-blue shutters into a true haven of well-being.

Since 2020, she has been welcoming solo travellers, couples, and nature lovers to her two guest rooms and unique chalet, with a dedicated focus on comfort, warmth, and authenticity.

Chalet insolite en bois à Soulac-sur-Mer

The Cottage: Original accommodation (New in 2025)

Our brand-new 20 m² wooden tiny house offers a unique and unusual accommo-dation experience. Set in a secluded corner of the tree-lined garden, it features a large covered terrace, practical facilities, and that feeling of being at home in nature, just a stone’s throw from the ocean.

Why choose our guesthouse rather than a hotel in Soulac?

Staying at a guesthouse in Soulac-sur-Mer means choosing a personal experience that a hotel simply cannot offer. At Chez Katja, you’ll be welcomed by your host in person, who has known Soulac and the Médoc like the back of her hand for over 30 years. She’ll share her hidden gems and favourite beach spots with you, and, if you’d like, guide you through a yoga session on the beach or a shiatsu massage.

What sets us apart:

Tea, herbal teas, coffee, milk and plant-based milk included in all rooms
Breakfast with homemade gluten-free bread (at an extra charge, prepared on request to avoid waste)
Hot outdoor shower in the garden – a real treat when you return from the beach
Trilingual host (French, German, English), ideal for European travellers
On-site wellness activities: yoga, shiatsu, forest bathing
Ideal location: a 300-metre walk from the beaches, absolutely peaceful, far from the hustle and bustle
Long-stay rates for private and homeoffice stays of one week or more

Soulac-sur-Mer : a truly extraordinary seaside resort

Soulac-sur-Mer is not a seaside resort like any other. Designated a ‘Petite Cité de Caractère’, this gem on the Pointe du Médoc charms visitors with its well-preserved Belle Époque architecture, its supervised fine-sand beaches, its maritime pine forests and its unique atmosphere — at once an authentic village and a popular seaside destination in the Gironde.

Accessible from Bordeaux by train (1h45 via the TER) or by the Royan–Le Verdon ferry from Charente-Maritime, Soulac is also the ideal starting point for exploring the Médoc vineyards, the lakes of the Gironde and the Vélodyssée cycle routes that run along the Atlantic coast.
