Hotels near Biarritz Airport - BIQ, Biarritz

Bayonne is a beautiful little town, absolutely adorable. There are loads of nice restaurants and the people are very friendly. There are also a lot of nice little shops, and the market Saturday morning is lovely. You can walk everywhere, but there are also little buses you can ride for free. The rivers in the center are impressive and beautiful, and you can stay looking at the water for hours, especially when the tide water comes up and goes down. We also took a lunch and afternoon trip to Guéthary (that a server at a bar recommended us), a tiny little town by the sea. Beautiful and really nice food.

A popular resort if you're keen on surfing and body-boarding, but equally enjoyable if you enjoy being near the sea. The temperature in early August was mid to high 20s (centigrade), so ideal for me. Many of the restaurants cater to the French cuisine, as expected, although there are some alternatives if you take the time to look. Some very picturesque scenery and plenty of nice places to take a dip in the sea with water temperature being not too cold ( quite a bit warmer than the UK). The area caters well for young families, with surf school and creche on Grand Plage.

You need to have a car if you stay at this hotel. There are three hotels in the same property, so if you go to the last one in the compound, there is a restaurant. No dinner available at the IBIS aeroport.

Arbonne was a beautiful Basque village. We went to the Ciderie du Fronton and the Bil-Toki (with a Pelota court!) as well as the boulangerie and the small market. The plantings were gorgeous as were the buildings. Grateful to be able to walk from the Indarra to town on a safe sidewalk, too!

The photos do not show the very smart bathroom just modernised. There is also mention of a bunk bed which is wrong. There are double beds in the two bedrooms, and in the lounge a pull out double bed/settee. Lots of places round about to visit. Would be a good place to stay if driving from the north of France to Spain. Very good golf course.

If you like history then this is the place for you, with a beautiful cathedral and cloister, a museum of local and regional history and other fascinating buildings. There is an excellent shopping area and good restaurants.
