Luxury spa break in Biarritz

Luxury break in the jewel of the Basque Coast: 4* hotel with gourmet dinner and two health packages included.biarritz

Biarritz, the Basque Country, the Atlantic Ocean ... these few words conjure up a whole album of delightful images: sun, surf and a whiff of the belle époque when the crowned heads of Europe were elbowing each other to be seen promenading in Marienbad or Biarritz. Our short break offers all this, plus a 'total relaxation' package in a luxury spa, based in a four star hotel, and a gourmet dinner with basque specialities thrown in.

Fly in direct from Dublin or London, jump in a taxi and you are relaxing in your four star hotel just ten minutes later, sipping a cocktail and watching the breakers crash against the rugged Basque coastline. The afternoon can be spent exploring the town centre just minutes from the hotel. Dinner in the hotel's reputed restaurant with a range of basque specialities and local wines to match. Overnight in the hotel.

The luxury spa programme in Biarritz looks like this:

DAY 1: arrive Biarritz airport, 10 minute taxi drive and you're in your hotel.
Explore the town and then dinner and overnight at the hotel.biarritz - spa break

DAY 2: After breakfast you could stroll down by way of the old fishing port to the 'Grand Plage' where surfers bob and weave through the waves and the beautiful people throng the promenade and open-air cafés. Lunch in one of the fish restaurants on the quayside before a visit to the Maritime museum and aquarium ... then into the spa for your first two-hour session of well-being therapy:
- Turkish Bath and jacuzzi
- Body treatment (scrub, rassoul or 'heat of the desert' wrap, relaxing massage with essential oils)
In the evening a visit to the famous Biarritz casino is a must.
Overnight in hotel.
