Bask in the French Basque Country with a stay in sun-speckled Biarritz

Eternally popular with aristocrats, A-listers and mere mortals who know a good getaway when they see it, Biarritz exudes old-school European charm. This seaside resort on the French coast has so much scenic charm, you could spend half your holiday just gazing out at the golden stretches of beaches that fringe the Bay of Biscay. But you’ll soon feel the pull of the buzzing bars and restaurants, where happy diners sit out on the terraces and squares, enjoying the balmy Basque Country evenings. The area isn’t always so genteel, though – it’s dramatic waves make it a haven for surfers, and the local surf festival is a big deal in the world of water sports. Biarritz holiday rentals put all of this right on your doorstep.

Why book Biarritz holiday rentals with ebookers?

Fancy staying in the heart of the city, within minutes of the glittering coastline? Biarritz holiday rentals provide pride of place amid the ornate architecture and natural beauty of Biarritz, and in a far more cost-effective way than splurging on hotel rates. Of course, there are other benefits besides the financial. Having your own place will make you feel like you belong, no matter how short your stay happens to be, thanks to the unparalleled sense of privacy, and the generous living space you lounge about in. There’s also something to be said for being able to whip up your own dishes in a real kitchen, and that’s all the excuse you need to browse the local food shops and markets.

Top things to do in Biarritz

Even if you’re staying in one of the holiday rentals in Biarritz, there is one hotel you should make time to see. That is the undisputed icon of the landscape, the Hotel du Palais. Built by Napoleon III for his wife, its regal past is still apparent as you wander beneath glowing chandeliers, amid swathes of glinting marble. There’s no better place to have a cocktail before dinner. Of course, any list of things to do in Biarritz has to include the beaches, including the Grande Plage, which is located in the centre of town and lined by pretty, striped beach tents. Or, you could head for Plage de la Cote des Basques, which is famed for its surfing. You can also meet the denizens of the deep with a visit to Biarritz Aquarium, which is home to sleek sharks, wise old turtles and pulsating, alien-like jellyfish. It’s a must for families, as is the local chocolate museum.

Getting around in Biarritz

One of the great things about Biarritz is how easy it is to explore. Smoothly pedestrianised, the whole landscape is a pleasure to stroll on foot – and that’s in no small part thanks to the sunny sweep of the Bay of Biscay. That said, buses are also available. Visitors in Biarritz holiday apartments who are curious to see more of the wider region may be tempted by the idea of hiring a car. If you do, be sure to go on a day trip to nearby Bayonne, whose half-timbered buildings and riverside eateries give it a charm of its own.
