Biarritz is synonymous with the glitz and glamour of the Belle Epoque but the wider region offers an intoxicating contradiction of picture-postcard towns and villages, hauntingly rugged landscapes, wild Atlantic beaches and idyllic child-friendly coves.

The Best of the Basque

A combination of French elegance and sophistication, with a touch of Spanish flamboyance, this fabulously diverse region has a rich cultural heritage and an awe-inspiring landscape. While Biarritz appeals to surfers, bon viveurs and fashionistas, the majestic beauty of its surrounds attract a more considered crowd. Bidart is home to our charming boutique hotel, offering a wonderfully civilised base for exploring the region’s many attractions and direct access on to one of the loveliest beaches we know.
