A pleasant sea bath

With an average temperature of 20°C in summer, you may be tempted more than once by a swim in the Atlantic Ocean. The hardest part will be to choose among the 6 beaches of the city to put your towel. Will you be inspired by the Côte des Basques beach, the cradle of surfing, or the Grande Plage, less than 10 minutes walk from the hotel?

Who says Basque coast also says surfing. Why not try out this essential activity in the region? No less than 18 surf schools welcome you in Biarritz during the summer season.

The hotel is a partner of the Jo Moraiz surf school and offers a special package when you book a lesson with the school.  

A multitude of discoveries in the city

Beyond the waves of the ocean, Biarritz reserves beautiful surprises :

• Le Marché des Halles. Soak up the atmosphere of the city in this unique setting and enjoy many local specialties ;
• The lighthouse of the Pointe Saint-Martin. Admire this impressive 19th century building that dominates the city.
• Visit the Biarritz aquarium. Learn about the fauna and flora of the Bay of Biscay before admiring the beautiful panorama from the Rocher de la Vierge.

Escapes in the Basque Country

Explore other towns and villages in the Basque Country near the ocean:  

• Bayonne and its lively festivals ;
• Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a family seaside resort with pretty houses typical of the region.
• Espelette, Sare, Aïnhoa, typical villages classified among the most beautiful villages of France, with white and red half-timbered houses.

Then let the restaurant owners and locals introduce you to new flavors with local products: Espelette pepper, Bayonne ham or Basque cake in particular.

As far as nature is concerned, many bike rides or hikes are waiting for you along the coast and at the doors of the Pyrenees, not far from there. It’s up to you to let your desires speak for themselves !

A pioneering establishment in the ecological transition of the hotel sector

By offering a cultural and artistic travel experience, the hotel is part of a sustainable tourism approach. The establishment goes further and proves to be a true pioneer in the ecological transition of the hotel industry. It has even been awarded the Green Key label.

Numerous actions have thus been put in place to take an additional step each day towards the preservation of planetary resources :

• Centralized temperature management and controlled LED lighting ;
• Fight against food waste thanks to the Too Good to Go application ;
• Promoting short circuits on the breakfast table ;
• Installation of an insect hotel, a worm composting machine and a vegetable garden in the garden ;
• Cleaning done exclusively with eco-labelled products.

A community-wide commitment

The hotel has also created several partnerships with other committed actors, including :

• Kokot Nomad, an associative, solidarity and eco-responsible restaurant to offer travelers a catering solution in line with their values ;
• UNISOAP to recycle the soaps from the rooms and offer them to the most underprivileged.
