Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Biarritz Pays Basque airport is just 3 km from the centre, reachable in under 10 minutes by car or taxi: here the choice of area matters less than elsewhere, but it still changes the stay. Anyone with a very early flight can sleep a stone's throw from the terminal; those coming for the sea pick a hotel near Grande Plage, in the heart of the city; surfers prefer the Côte des Basques area, more laid-back and a little further from the fashionable centre.
