Between Bidart and Guéthary, with direct access to a vast sandy beach, this beautiful Basque villa with a heated swimming pool enjoys a prime location with the most magnificent ocean views.
Maison Bonne Anse is a unique holiday home with stylish interiors – just step into the open-plan living space to admire artwork on the wall and striking furnishings. Kick back in the contemporary lounge with doors opening out to the poolside terrace, then prepare Basque feasts to serve on the al-fresco dining terrace with incredible vistas towards the beach and sea below.
On the first-floor there’s the impressive master bedroom with it’s own sea-facing balcony and en suite bathroom alongside three further doubles, all with balcony access and their own shower and WC. All four bedrooms on this level are air-conditioned and feature queen-size double beds.
Further open-tread stairs lead to the top of the house, an air-conditioned dorm-style loft with three single beds which could be ideal for children/young teens. Therefore, with four double bedrooms and the attic, Maison Bonne Anse sleeps up to 8 guests and 3 additional children.
Splash around in the heated swimming pool, read a book on the decked terrace or play a relaxing game of pétanque. At the bottom of the garden there is a little gate leading to a path and within a couple of minutes you are on the beach! This vast sandy beach is home to a seasonal surfing school and a small handful of summer restaurants – it’s especially popular in the height of the summer and the sunsets are stunning!
Keen walkers can join the famous coastal walking trail between Bidart and Saint-Jean-de-Luz (a path connecting the beach and the residential road, part of the trail, runs alongside the side of the house) whilst there are some superb cycling routes along this part of the coastline and beyond.
The traditional Basque village of Bidart awaits with its charming restaurants, little shops and Saturday morning market or wander in the other direction towards Guéthary, a delightful historic village so loved by surfers. Of course, the glamour of Biarritz is less than 8km away or head south towards the pretty seaside town of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and neighbouring Ciboure.
Then there’s the historic city of Bayonne and even San Sebastian across the Spanish border, not to mention a wealth of idyllic villages in the hills nearby where you can truly appreciate the character and beauty of the Pays Basque.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison Bonne AnseMaison Bonne Anse enjoys a wonderful location with direct access to a vast beach as well as stunning ocean views. Only a short drive from Biarritz and close to the Basque villages of Bidart and Guéthary, this is a prime setting along the Atlantic coast.
If arriving by train, Gare de Biarritz (6.5km) has TGV arrivals from Paris and onward connections to Gare de Guéthary (1.2km). If flying, the two nearest airports are Biarritz (8km) and San Sebastian (24km).
In a residential setting and perched slightly above the beach, there is a gate at the bottom of the garden with direct access to a path leading down to the vast sandy shores and ocean. This public path also runs along the side of the house connecting the road to the beach, part of the coastal walking route. The beach is home to a seasonal surfing school and a handful of summer restaurants with more gorgeous views. It’s especially popular in the height of the summer and the sunsets are absolutely stunning.
The heart of Bidart is around 1.5km away, a traditional village set above the coast with pretty Basque architecture, family-run restaurants and charming shops. The weekly market takes place on a Saturday morning throughout the year, then in the summer months look out for a Farmer’s market on Tuesday mornings (July to mid-September) and an atmospheric craft market on Thursday evenings (July and August).
In the other direction, soak up the summer ambience of Guéthary (1.2km) with its fishing port and pretty Basque houses alongside trendy boutiques, restaurants and surfing hang-outs. Place du Fronton is the place to go for the Sunday morning market (May to September) and don’t miss the popular ice-cream parlour by the railway bridge.
Of course, this region is a paradise for keen walkers thanks to the famous coastal path connecting Bidart and Hendaye on the Spanish border. Follow the 13km-long path from Bidart to Saint-Jean-de-Luz via Guéthary passing the most sensational scenery – you can join the path right outside your holiday home!
There are some fantastic cycling trails including La Voie Verte de l'Uhabia (also another lovely walk) and the Atlantic Vélodyssée Eurovéloroute route. Meanwhile, golf lovers have a great choice of courses from the prestigious Golf Chiberta (14.5km) north of Biarritz to Golf de la Nivelle (9km) and Golf Chantaco (8.5km) close to the pleasant seaside town of Saint-Jean-de-Luz (7.5km).
Of course, Biarritz (7.5km) awaits with its amazing restaurants, shops, covered market and famous surfing beaches whilst the handsome city of Bayonne (16km) is a must for history lovers, sitting proudly by the banks of the Adour and Nive Rivers.
To truly experience authentic Basque culture, venture inland to visit picture-perfect villages across the Pays Basque such as colourful Espelette (21km), Ainhoa (22km), Sare (15km) and the spa-town of Cambo-les-Bains (26km).
