Paris designer and world surf wear, the Hotel du Palais and le Vieux Port, champagne and smoothies, golf and the Grande Plage, boulevards and ballet, chocolate and piment, spa and sea. This pretty much sums up the pearl of the Atlantic.
Equally appealing in their own way, there are also Bayonne with its narrow, half-timbered, colourful buildings clustered around two rivers or St Jean de Luz, still a bustling, traditional fishing port today with a beautiful bay perfect for swimming.
Strong cultural traditions with Basque festivals every weekend of the summer, sports galore be it golfing, surfing, rugby or pelota, a stunningly beautiful and unspoilt coastline of rocky outcrops and sandy beaches, low-key ski resorts only a couple of hours into the Pyrenees.
Where cosmopolitan shopaholics bathe in luxury and sun-tinged surfers add a hint of glam rock.
And if all that isn’t enough, you can pop over the border into Spain and savour the delights of some of the best restaurants in the world in San Sebastian!
All this and more go to make this unique area the place to invest. Cut yourselves a slice of the outdoor lifestyle…..that is Biarritz and beyond.
Hobo surf chicks rub shoulders with haute couture in Biarritz so you’ll find cosmopolitan shops, bars and restaurants alongside beach bars and shacks and surf dudes everywhere. The perfect balance !
Biarritz boasts some of the best surf spots in the world. Whether you are a pro or a complete novice, here there is a wave for you! A great choice of unspoilt, sandy beaches and turquoise seas from small, rocky coves or perfectly-rounded bays to the vast, dune-backed fine sandy beaches of the nearby Landes – the world is your oyster !
Biarritz is for outdoor living all year round. Even in the depths of winter, temperatures can reach 25°C and yet the westerly winds and Pyrénées backdrop define the seasons here, hence lush vegetation, banana trees and hibiscus. In the height of summer, it can hit 40°C but neither the ocean nor mountain summits are very far away to cool off !
It's difficult to find a region in France that offers such variety within easy access. Get this – skiing, surfing, gastronomic delights, golf, shopping, popping into Spain, Guggenheim, Basque festivals, nightlife, glamour, tapas, spa therapy, rivers and mountains, pine forests and ocean…the list goes on !
