The Biarritz real estate market
The Basque real estate market is booming. The most popular areas are Bidart, Guéthary, Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Biarritz. In Biarritz, the Saint-Charles and Beaurivage districts are particularly popular. Demand is concentrated on the coastal line and on properties with ocean views or located no more than 20 minutes from the beaches.
The agency has a selection of properties to meet the highest standards, from apartments with breathtaking ocean views, to contemporary villas with swimming pools, to charming properties in the Basque country. Particularly sought-after are the ultra-central apartments, promising a quality of life “all on foot”, preferably with terrace, garage and elevator. For houses, gardens and swimming pools remain essential criteria.
Biarritz: history and heritage
The charms of the Basque Country are well known. The region offers an unrivalled quality of life. What's more, the presence of rail links and airports makes it easy to open up the region to the world.
Biarritz really came into its own with the arrival of Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie, who made a major contribution to the town's development. This was followed by the arrival of the nobility, turning Biarritz into a resort town. This metropolis was a gathering place for the national and international elite.
Neo-Basque architecture is omnipresent in the region, as is art deco, thanks to architects such as the Gomez brothers, Henri Godbarge and Hiriart with the Villa Leihorra, a local landmark.
Biarritz regularly has the honor of welcoming the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, who have chosen to take up residence here. Their presence testifies to Biarritz's appeal to a distinguished and discerning clientele.
At Biarritz Sotheby's International Realty, our clients benefit from our in-depth expertise of the local market and our unrivalled international resources, offering tailor-made support for all real estate projects on the Basque coast.
