Hossegor is the town where you set up your laptop between surf sessions. Wedged between the ocean, the marine lake, and the Landes forest, it's been drawing a wave of digital nomads, freelance surfers and remote workers over the past few years, people who've figured out you can really live here. The town centre stays compact and quiet off-season, the Parc d'Activités Pédebert concentrates most of the work spots (coworking spaces, coffee shops, flexible offices), and the lakeside offers a more laid-back alternative for long sessions.

Hossegor has a quirk you won't find anywhere else in France: very few classic laptop-friendly cafés, but a wild density of coworking spaces and coliving spots aimed at digital nomads. It's a surf-and-work ecosystem that has taken shape, with places designed for people who combine remote work and waves. Seasonality is real: crowds in summer (June to September), much quieter off-season when the local freelance community takes over. Here's our pick of 4 spots to get work done in Hossegor.

La Worquerie

Parc d'Activités Pédebert, Hossegor's premium coworking space. Founded by two local entrepreneurs, La Worquerie laid the groundwork for serious remote work in the town: an open-plan space divided into three zones, five private offices for confidential calls, a fully equipped meeting room, and a phone booth for video calls. All of it in a lifestyle vibe.

Equipment-wise, it's solid: fibre, professional Wi-Fi, power outlets everywhere, large tables, guaranteed quiet. Recommended by Passion Télétravail in its top Hossegor coworking spaces ranking and by the Amélie Nollet blog on freelance remote work in the southern Landes. This is where you'll run into Hossegor's freelance community: people who live here year-round and have made remote work a permanent way of life.

The go-to reference for independent workers in Hossegor, make this your first stop if you want something serious and a real community.

TANDEM Kids Club & Coworking

69 Avenue des Sabotiers, Zone Pédebert. Tandem invented a format unique in France: 16 workstations combined with childcare for kids aged 15 months to 10 years, in a soundproofed area. You drop the kids off next door, they play or are supervised, and you work in peace 10 metres away without hearing a thing. For freelance or remote-working parents, it's a godsend that barely exists anywhere else.

Equipment: fibre, fitted kitchen, garden terrace, relaxation room. Open Monday to Friday during the day. Featured by Passion Télétravail and the avril.eleven blog in their family coworking selections. The user profile is clear: nomadic parents travelling with their kids in summer, or local freelancers who no longer want to pay for a childminder just to be able to work.

The only spot in Hossegor designed for serious work with the kids close by, guilt-free and distraction-free.

Wojo Spot Jo&Joe Hossegor

458 Avenue de Gaujacq, Soorts-Hossegor. Wojo Spot occupies part of the Jo&Joe hostel a stone's throw from the beach. The format is different from classic coworking spaces: it's a spot integrated into a living space, with a large terrace, bar, solid Wi-Fi and a constant flow of people. You work in a lively atmosphere, which can be a real breath of fresh air when you've had enough of the silence of clean-cut coworking spaces.

Equipment-wise, the Wi-Fi is solid and power outlets are accessible, but this is closer to a café with Wi-Fi than a dedicated coworking space. It's a great spot for working in lifestyle mode (grabbing a coffee, chatting with other travellers) but not for deep work that requires silence. Listed by Wojo in its remote-work holiday guide and by the tourist office.

The smart pick for short, relaxed sessions, ideal when you want to work without being locked in a strict coworking space.

Villa Seren

1111 Avenue du Touring Club, Soorts-Hossegor. Villa Seren is the 4-star hotel facing the lake that makes its MIA room available for meetings, study days and coworking, with a lake view that completely changes the feel of a working day.

The setting is upscale, the quiet is total. Obviously it's pricier than standard coworking spaces, but for an important client day, a team strategy session, or simply a one-off professional reset in a luxurious environment, it's unbeatable. Recommended by the Amélie Nollet blog for freelancers who want an exceptional setting.

The premium choice for a special remote work day, when you want a setting that genuinely stands out from the ordinary.

The right spot for your needs

  • For the local freelance community and a professional setting: La Worquerie (the reference)
  • For working with the kids close by: TANDEM (integrated kids club)
  • For a café vibe with Wi-Fi: Wojo Spot Jo&Joe (relaxed lifestyle)
  • For an occasional luxurious setting: Villa Seren (lake-view room)

Hossegor has the particularity of having built its remote work offering around surf and nomadic lifestyle, rather than around a classic laptop-friendly café scene. If you're arriving for the first time, head to a coworking space like La Worquerie to plug into the community, and keep Villa Seren for a day out of the ordinary.
