Elegant and refined, Biarritz has a timeless principality about it. Over the decades, this seaside resort has become a must-visit destination, thanks to controlled tourism development. A surfer's paradise, the city exudes the sweetness of life, with its "discreet charm" and its many assets: gastronomy, heritage, culture, sport, etc. An essential economic driver for the attractiveness of this region (2 hours from Paris and major European metropolises) and an exceptional hotel offer: from charming hotels to palaces! A flagship destination forever marked by the passage of Empress Eugénie, Biarritz has always been a welcoming city, open to the world while preserving its heritage and environment. From its beginnings as a small fishing port, Biarritz became a renowned seaside resort, welcoming the first sea bathers. Later, it was on the waves of the Côte des Basques that surfing first appeared in Europe. So many places in history with one thing in common: this close link with the ocean. Today, Biarritz has chosen to continue innovating and developing its blue-economy technologies. As a land of the Basque Country, Biarritz maintains a rich and lively tradition of hospitality, open to the world by hosting numerous major economic, cultural and political events of national and international stature throughout the year.

When to go to Biarritz/Miarritze?

If the tourist high season is in summer, the climate of Biarritz, favourable to surfing all year round and a generous sunshine which shines generally from the beginning of April to the end of October, ensures a seaside season which is distinguished by its longevity. We swim on the biarrot beaches almost all year round, or even all year round for a group of die-hard people. Shoppers will avoid the months of November and January when many curtains are lowered due to holidays.
