Biarritz, on the Basque Coast, is known for its surf beaches and elegant seaside resorts. The city's spa hotels focus on thalassotherapy, using seawater treatments for wellness. These properties often feature ocean-view pools, hammams, and full-service spas. Expect high-end accommodations with rates reflecting the luxury level-typically from 200 EUR per night in peak season. For easy beach access, stay near the Grande Plage or the Côte des Basques.
Among the top-rated options, Hôtel du Palais Biarritz, part of the Unbound Collection by Hyatt, offers two pools, a spa with hammam and massage, and a children's playground. The 5-star hotel is a 2-minute walk from the casino. Sofitel Biarritz Le Miramar Thalassa provides direct access to its thalasso center and 126 rooms with terraces overlooking the ocean. Regina Experimental Biarritz, perched on a cliff, blends neo-Basque design with a spa using Susanne Kaufmann products. Its restaurant Frenchie Biarritz serves creative brasserie cuisine.
