Hidden in a lush green estate on the edge of Ostend, you’ll find the nine sustainable design cabins of Les Cabanes d’Ostende. Here you stay in complete privacy and calm, with the sea just around the corner—the kind of place where you hear birds in the morning and feel the salty air on your skin within minutes.

The cabins are beautifully designed, with generous windows, lots of natural light and comfort that’s thought through to the last detail. Each cabin sleeps up to six guests and feels instantly cocooning: a warm living area with fireplace, a comfortable seating corner, and a kitchen where design meets real functionality—think Le Creuset pans, coffee from a local roaster, and a fully automatic machine for that perfect first cup. At night, you sink into an XL Auping bed, and in the bathroom you’ll find natural Meraki products. Outside, your private terrace invites slow mornings and long evenings, with a The Bastard barbecue for easy, delicious meals. Some cabins even come with a wood-fired hot tub, equally tempting in summer as in winter.

The domain itself is an ode to outdoor living. In the underground honesty shop you’ll discover regional beers, wines and delicacies from West Flanders. In the vegetable garden you can pick herbs or seasonal produce, and children can collect eggs in the ‘Eggspot’, swing, explore, and roam freely. There’s a swimming pond with sauna, a wood store, and cargo bikes you can borrow for a relaxed ride towards the sea. And if you feel like staying in: Friday is pizza night, and dedicated wellness hours make it easy to fully unwind.

Les Cabanes d’Ostende is all about that rare combination: hidden in green, yet so close to the sea (500 m). Start your day with a walk to the beach for a refreshing dip, then come back to your quiet cabin for warmth, design, and space. The kind of getaway that feels effortless—and makes leaving surprisingly hard.
