Lodge rentals in Vendée The Hamlet of the Avocets

New premium district from the L'Île aux Oiseaux campsite, the Hameau des Avocettes will open its doors in June 2027, in the heart of the village of L'Île d'Olonne. Here, the lodges are set up facing nature, between the Olonne forest and salt marshes, just 5 km from the ocean.

What if your next vacation started with a window open to nature?

 

At the Hamlet of the Avocets, We wake up to the sound of birds, have breakfast on the terrace of our lodge facing the landscape, hop on our bikes to reach the beaches of Les Sables d'Olonne and, on the way back, we treat ourselves to a moment of relaxation in the wellness area.

 

Neither a tent nor a traditional mobile home: these are elevated lodges with black cladding, designed for indoor and outdoor living, with a large covered terrace that naturally extends the living space. Inside, everything is provided so you can simply unpack and settle in.

 

Welcome to the Hameau des Avocettes. Breathe, you're in the Vendée!

The comfort of a lodge with a spa The charm of a cabin in the heart of nature

You're probably familiar with lodge tents, or safari tents, with their wooden frame and canvas walls. They're charming, a childhood memory worth experiencing at least once, and many campsites in the Vendée region offer them for a single night or a longer stay.

 

At Hameau des Avocettes, we chose a different path: to rediscover the charm of the’unusual accommodation, without giving up on comfort of a lodge designed for living in to the fullest.

 

So, where did the unusual aspect go? Into the’architecture inspired by saltworks, these salt huts are typical of the territory: facades in black wood cladding and framework open to the horizon.

A ten-minute walk from the campsite, the salt marshes of L'Île d'Olonne reveal their basins and dark wooden huts. These salt sheds, once used to protect the salt from humidity, inspired the design of the Hameau des Avocettes. Our lodges thus tell a story of the local area, while offering the comforts expected for a holiday immersed in nature.

Unusual and comforting accommodations. Here, people come seeking the change of scenery of a cabin, the comfort of a lodge and, when the mood strikes, a wellness break to slow down even more.

You return from the beach at the end of the day; it's 29 degrees Celsius, and the children are covered in sand. You turn up the air conditioning, everyone heads to one of the two showers, and the dishwasher runs by itself. A few minutes later, you're outside on your large terrace, having dinner with your family overlooking the green space, while night gradually falls on the meadow.

 

And to extend this digression, the’wellness area Camping is also available by reservation. Hammam, sauna, ice bath and spa : enough to allow yourself a real moment of recovery after a day of relaxation, a bike ride or a day exploring the Vendée.

31 lodges two ways to enjoy the Hamlet

The Hamlet of the Avocets has 31 lodges, divided into two configurations. The 9 Signature Lodges, Located in the front row, they overlook the green heart of the campsite. 22 Premium Lodges, Located in the heart of the Hamlet, they focus on particularly generous outdoor spaces and an organization designed for stays with family or several people.

 

Two locations, two ways of living in the Hamlet, but the same quest for comfort, calm and outdoor living.

Signature lodges a privileged view of nature

The Hameau des Avocettes will have 9 signature Lodges with a capacity of 4 people, divided into 2 bedrooms, for approximately 35 m² of living space and 30 m² of terrace.

These are our most sought-after rentals, and the fewest available. Just a few steps are all it takes to gain some elevation and discover nature from your terrace. Upon waking, you open the curtains to reveal tall grasses, trees, and perhaps the flight of a bird. Later, the light changes, and so does the landscape. You settle outside, watch this natural space unfold, and simply enjoy the passing of time.

These nine two-bedroom lodges, designed for four people, offer a unique way to stay close to nature. Their terraces become the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, read a book in peace, or end the day with a view of the surrounding landscape.

Unusual and comforting accommodations. Here, people come seeking the change of scenery of a cabin, the comfort of a lodge and, when the mood strikes, a wellness break to slow down even more.

The Premium Lodges living inside as well as outside

11 signature 2-bedroom lodges, with a capacity of 4 people, 33 m² of living space and approximately 30m² of terrace.

11 premium lodges with 3 bedrooms, a capacity of 6 people, 40 m² of living space and approximately 30 m² of terrace.

Here, the landscape isn't viewed from the front row: it's experienced from a terrace designed as a true extension of the living space. Sun loungers are set up there, meals are eaten outdoors, children linger there after a day at the beach, and, at aperitif time, the swing naturally becomes one of the most coveted spots.

With their two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms, these 22 lodges offer more space for sharing a holiday. The generous terrace extends this feeling outdoors and gives the lodge its comfortable, relaxing, and welcoming atmosphere.

 

Two bedrooms for 4 people or three bedrooms to accommodate up to 6 people: everyone can choose the configuration that suits their stay.

The tranquility of the hamlet the pleasures of camping just steps away

The Hameau des Avocettes offers a more intimate setting, while remaining fully integrated into the L'Île aux Oiseaux campsite. In just a few minutes' walk, you'll find the swimming pools, THE entertainment, the kids' club, the Nid counter and other campsite services.

 

This allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: The tranquility of your lodge when you want to slow down, and all the energy of the campsite when you feel like going out, swimming or participating in an activity.

 

The rest of the time, you are under no obligation to follow the program. Your vacation remains your own.

Awarded the Tourism & Disability label, the Vendée L'Essentiel label comes from the heart, and Accueil Vélo (Cyclist Welcome), Camping L'Île aux Oiseaux also helps you discover the surrounding area. Our team will be available to advise you on hiking trails, bike rides, or must-see attractions.


Take a bike And in just a few minutes, you'll find yourself in the Olonne forest, under the pine trees, before reaching the beaches of Les Sables d'Olonne via the cycle paths. Very close to the campsite, the salt marshes and the bird sanctuary offer another perspective of the area: basins, birds, and the work of the salt workers can be discovered along the paths.


In Les Sables d'Olonne, the fishing port, the La Chaume district, the beaches, and Lake Tanchet offer plenty of variety for your days. And if you'd like to venture further afield, Noirmoutier, Île d'Yeu, Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, or even Puy du Fou are all great excursion ideas. Sometimes, the best plan is to have no plan at all.

Renting a lodge in Vendée your frequently asked questions

The word encompasses two very different realities. It often refers to a lodge tent, or safari tent: a wooden structure covered in canvas, erected on a floor, with a terrace. It also refers, as at Hameau des Avocettes, to a permanent building with wood cladding, insulated and air-conditioned, with enclosed bedrooms, private bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. Always check what type of lodge it is before booking your camping stay.
