Best Beach Hotels in Biarritz (2026)

Hotel Du Palais

Set on France’s Basque coast, Biarritz is a lively seaside town known for its sandy beaches, Atlantic waves and relaxed surf culture. The town is small and easy to explore, with cafes, markets and coastal walks all close to the water. Most of the hotels here are situated just back from seafront, but we've tracked down two properties that are right by the beach. Both are stunning luxury hotels that really do offer all the bells and whistles!

For something a little grand

Regina Experimental

  • Perched on Biarritz’s cliffs, Regina Experimental is a Belle Époque hotel delivering stunning Atlantic views. Interiors feel polished and have herringbone floors, marble bathrooms and pastel tones throughout. Frenchie Biarritz delivers delicious dishes full of inventive Basque flavours, while a rooftop bar, sea-inspired spa and pool make it an easy choice for stylish beachside stay.
  • Facing the Bay of Biscay, Hotel Du Palais is the one to book for old-school glamour, with chandeliers, frescoed ceilings and sweeping drapes. Rooms are spacious, the spa is truly indulgent, and there are both indoor and outdoor pools. With several fine-dining spots and the beach just outside, it’s classic Biarritz at its most lavish.
