Book your flight from the UK to Biarritz, and discover why this seaside escape has stood the test of time.
Things to do in Biarritz
This still-elegant resort is centered around the Grand Plage seafront and dotted with buildings up to 200 years old. The Hotel du Palais was built as a palace for Empress Eugenie in 1854, and the neo-Gothic St Eugenie Church in 1903. You might drop by the 1933 art deco Museum of the Sea, with its 24 aquariums, or cross the sea bridge to the rocks where a statue of the Virgin Mary protects the town.
But it's not just a great city break. Our low-cost flights to Biarritz take you to the foothills of the Pyrenees, where a multitude of outdoor sports are on offer. Hire a pedal or electric bike, have a round or go for a beautiful hike -- the choice is yours.
Beaches near Biarritz
If you're planning a trip to Biarritz, you may need more than one swimsuit. You can choose from six sandy beaches, including the family-friendly Port-Vieux cove and the wilder Marbella beach. A coastal walk takes them all in and gives you great views of the lighthouse and the Bay of Biscay. Or perhaps you'll choose a relaxing spa day at either of two historic thalassotherapy centers.
Biarritz's Cuisine
After days on the beach or sightseeing, you'll adore the variety of restaurants in Biarritz. You'll be dipping into the town's tapas bars for a glass of wine and a nibble of sausage, sheep's cheese or Bayonne ham. You might choose the old port's restaurants for some oysters, shrimp and fresh-caught fish. You can also savor traditional dishes like slow-cooked Basque chicken in French brasseries and bistros. There are some good beach bars and Southern California-style taco and burger joints to keep the surfers happy, too. Nightlife is typically laid back and relaxed: think sunset cocktails rather than dancing till dawn.
Shopping in Biarritz
Shopping is also fun in Biarritz. Chanel opened their first shop here in 1915, and you won't have to go far to find French retail chains like Galeries Lafayette. International brands are represented on the grand boulevards, or you can browse smaller local boutiques around the municipal market and the old port. Look out for mini souvenir surfboards, or Biarritz espadrilles in wild combinations of colors. The market hall, called Les Halles, is a must-see for local specialties, with lots of cafes and eateries mixed in with fresh produce stalls.
