Biarritz Might Be This Summer’s European Hot Spot for Travel
Tired of the same old Amalfi-to-Barcelona loop? Enter Biarritz: a French seaside town that’s under the radar and quietly becoming one of Europe’s most irresistible summer escapes.
Tucked into the Basque coast of southwest France, Biarritz is giving all the right vibes for a summer that blends surf, style, and serious sensory pleasure. Think Saint-Tropez meets San Sebastián, with a laid-back luxury that’s both French Riviera and low-key boho.
Here’s why Biarritz is on our radar:
1. A Beach Town That Doesn’t Try Too Hard
Biarritz has that rare mix of polish and charm done effortlessly. Locals ride vintage bikes, cafes spill onto cobblestone streets, and golden beaches stretch into cliffside views. It’s popular without being overcrowded. It’s chic without being soulless and perfect for a Euro summer that doesn’t feel overdone.
2. The Food Scene? Basque and Brilliant
Forget everything you thought you knew about French food. In Biarritz, the Basque influence shows up everywherewith smoky grilled seafood, spicy piment d'Espelette, pintxos bars, and flaky gâteau Basque for dessert. This town is made for slow dinners and snack-heavy aperitif breaks you’ll want to savour with a sunset.
3. It's Well-Located
Hop over to San Sebastián in Spain in under an hour. Take the train to Bordeaux in two. Or stay local and explore the surf-friendly beaches, hiking trails, and picture-perfect coastal towns nearby. Basing a stay in Biarritz makes it easy to roam.
4. It’s Giving Main Character Energy
Biarritz has that romantic, windswept, summer-on-film feel that’s hard to describe but easy to fall for. Think linen, salt spray, and a playlist that somehow always includes a little Sade. If you’re curating your summer around vibes, this town delivers.
And as for remote work...
No, Biarritz isn’t a remote work hot spot destination, and that kind of makes it awesome if you want to experience it without a bunch of hype in the background.
While you can of course find strong Wi-Fi in many hotels there, Biarritz is the kind of place where you might feel more inclined to close your laptop rather than open it.
It’s made for unplugging, reconnecting with your senses, and letting your days unfold beyond the screen. Consider it a soft prompt to work less and live more.
