For those who need to slow down, refocus and treat themselves to a break of relaxation and disconnection, we want to tell you that here, in Bidart, you are in the right place. Because in Bidart we take the time to live, to discover and to favor encounters: make way for the sweetness of time, disconnection and true moments.

Here we have the choice

That of choosing to put down your suitcases and stay in establishments that offer direct access to the beach, on the program: a breathtaking view and paths traced in the middle of the cliffs to go down to the beach. 👣 🌊

That of being tempted by the calm and greenery of the countryside, a few kilometers from the beaches or the mountains in our establishments labeled Relais du Silence or Ecolabel. 🌾🌿

That of choosing to take the time to soak up the art of living in the Basque country, to feed on the landscapes and the spray, to be seduced by the delights of the local gastronomy and to savor every moment of this interlude. 🥩🌶️🧀🌮

In summary, take the time to appreciate simple pleasures...

Now that we've whetted your appetite, here are the proposals for slow tourism stays in the Basque Country spotted by our team and our partners. 🙂

Put down your suitcases

Wake up gently admiring the view of the sea or listening to the silence of the countryside...

Villa l'Arche

Here the ocean is at the end of the garden…
And the establishment invites you to serenity… The refined and natural decoration combines with the beauty of the view; from the garden, the lapping of the infinity pool echoes the backwash of the waves and the terrace in the cliff becomes a real spot for yoga or meditation.
In short, it is an ideal address for those who need to treat themselves to a break.
