01Second home
Neo-Basque villa, Art déco, ocean view
Biarritz sells above all a light and a walking distance to the beach: neo-Basque villa, Art déco apartment, ocean view. Quality properties leave off-listing, in days, on one of France’s tightest markets, supported by year-round demand that the Basque coast genuinely lives.
For the Basque coast lives year-round, and that is what sets it apart from most shorelines: schools, hospitals, an airport at Anglet and a solid local economy. A second home there is genuinely used, weekends included, not only six summer weeks.

Furnished letting and its rules
The long tourist season supports dynamic furnished letting, regulated by the town and by co-ownerships: permits, registration, bylaws. Between stays, a Biarritz pied-à-terre budget can lean on that demand, provided the property’s compatibility was checked before the offer.
Our finders assess this compatibility from the selection onward, with real charges, technical condition and salt-spray exposure for seafront addresses. The right Basque pied-à-terre is the one whose file was read before the listing, not after.
- 01 The heart apartment
Impératrice, Les Halles: light and the beach on foot, the simplest remote management.
- 02 The coast villa
Côte des Basques or pinewood: view or space, and the upkeep that goes with it.
- 03 The surroundings
Anglet, Bidart, Guéthary: space and the corniche, at levels distinct from Biarritz.

The calendar of a Biarritz purchase
The Biarritz market has two peaks: spring, April to June, and the September rentrée, when fine properties trade fast. The summer high season slows viewings. For a remote buyer, the winter brief prepares the spring shortlist: the sequence our finders hold most often.

Frequently asked questions
Second home in Biarritz: the guide
Where to buy a second home in Biarritz?
By usage: the Impératrice district and Les Halles for town on foot and light, the Côte des Basques for the ocean view, the pinewood of Anglet or Le Braou for space, Bidart and Guéthary for the corniche. Quality properties leave off-listing: watch counts as much as budget.
Can I let my second home in Biarritz?
Yes, within a frame regulated by the town and co-ownerships: permits, registration, bylaws. The long season supports dynamic furnished letting, provided the property’s compatibility was checked before the offer. Our finders assess it systematically.
Is Biarritz a year-round second home?
Yes, and that is its strength: the Basque coast lives year-round, schools, hospitals, local economy, an airport at Anglet. Weekends are lived there from October to June, not only in summer, which supports usage and resale alike.
