Petite Atalaye

Arriving at your apartment with its classically elegant façade and prime position atop the Atalaye plateau in the centre of Biarrtiz, you’ll already feel proud of your new home.

Enter and you’ll fall in love with it a little bit more. Effortlessly chic, your apartment is both contemporary and elegant. An open plan sitting room provides endless blue sea views on three sides from its arched windows, while a glossy black kitchen and café-style dining room offer everything you need to feel at home.

Think silver feature walls, contemporary artwork in multicolours, homey bookshelves and natural wood polished floors, and you’ve got the picture. In the two well-appointed bedrooms you’ll be surprised even further by silver dividing walls with cut-out circles, an in-room designer bath and modern black and pink chandeliers.

When you’re ready to head out and explore, you’ll find that you’re already located within walking distance to many of the major sights, as well as cafes, shops and restaurants. Walk along the stylish streets passed art deco mansions, impressive Russian Orthodox churches and chic boutiques, and you’ll begin to see what all the fuss is about.

Just steps from your apartment you’ll find the famous Musée de la Mer, housed in a stylish art deco building and offering you the chance to marvel at tanks of thousands of delicate tropical fish, meet the seals and learn about the city’s whaling past. If you have kids, you may also want to combine this with a visit to the Cité de l'Océan, a type of theme park, natural history and science museum all rolled into one. Kids will love the rides, while adults will be fascinated by some of the more science-based exhibits.

Besides its architecture and maritime history, the Biarritz’s other claim to fame is its surfing. Why you’re here not take a lesson and learn to love the waves?

Back at your apartment, sit back and relax on the beautiful wraparound balcony and enjoy a glass of French wine from the fully stocked cellar. If you need further relaxation, then you can always head next door to book a spa treatment at the Sofitel.

For evening dining you have three options available, either to cook yourself using local produce picked up at the market, try out one of Biarrtiz’s gourmet restaurants or book a private chef who will come to your apartment and cook for you.

A brilliant 24-hour concierge is also on hand to provide advice, reserve restaurants or help organise a variety of extra activities such as cookery classes, tours or surfing lessons.

You’ll fall into the chic Biarritz life-style here quickly and love your new home so much that you may never want to leave.
