On France’s stunning Basque coast, Biarritz is a dream destination where elegance meets adventure. Once a playground for European royalty, this glamorous seaside town is now a haven for surfers, food lovers, and culture seekers alike. With superb beaches, world-class waves, and a lively atmosphere, Biarritz offers the perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. Stroll along the scenic La Grande Plage, explore the iconic Rocher de la Vierge, or indulge in luxury shopping and exquisite dining in the town’s charming streets.
Maison du Parc is located in an attractive residential neighbourhood east of central Biarritz, less than a 5-minute drive from the airport and a 10-minute walk from Stade Aguilera. The most energetic could walk or cycle to La Grande Plage (2.5km) or it is a very short drive. The iconic Port Vieux (2.8km) and Halles de Biarritz (2.4km) are also a short distance away.
For those eager to explore beyond Biarritz, the beaches and forests of Anglet are a great place to start. Whether you're cycling along the coastal path, trying your hand at surfing, dining in beachside restaurants or simply soaking up the sun on one of its many vast sandy beaches, this picturesque spot is perfect for a laid-back day by the Atlantic. Golfers can tee off at Chiberta Golf Course (5km), enjoying breathtaking ocean views as they play.
Just a short drive inland, Bayonne (6km) offers a rich cultural experience with its medieval charm and Basque heritage. Wander through its quaint old town, marvel at the grand Bayonne Cathedral, and sample the world-famous Bayonne chocolate. The town’s vibrant market and colourful half-timbered houses make it a photographer’s delight, while its festive spirit comes alive during the summer’s celebrated Fêtes de Bayonne.
