Bidart A village nestled between the mountains, ocean and countryside in the Basque Country

In the heart of the Basque Coast, spread over a 5km coastline, and on the side of cliffs, the village of Bidart is ideally located to (re)discover the Basque Country and soak up the art of living specific to our destination.

At the Crossroads - "Bide Artean"

The etymology of Bidart, the contraction of the words "bide" (path) and "artean" (at the crossroads) defines the village "at the crossroads", at the crossroads, where the coastal path meets the mouth of the Uhabia river.

Its motto "Bidartean zuzena onena" means "at the crossroads, the straightest path is the best" and says a lot about the strong character inscribed in the DNA of the Bidartars.

In Bidart, we are expected

Bidart has not escaped the development linked to the attractiveness of the Basque Country and has transformed itself over time into a small town that has managed to preserve its village soul. As proof, the recently renovated Place Sauveur Atchoarena is also the beating heart of Bidart where you can feel a local, natural and genuine atmosphere.

Here, many of the establishments are family-run, sometimes passed down from generation to generation, with the ambition for each to be anchored in its time while respecting the work of the elders. Transmission, sharing and hospitality are strong values of Basque culture, and... choosing Bidart as a holiday destination also means choosing to come to someone's home, to learn a little more about our village and the Basque Country each time you stay.

Know-how

Here we discover unique know-how such as the work and creations of the Basque Cutlers , the Ona Pilota workshop of the Basque pelota champions Jon & Patxi Tambourindeguy who make and repair Basque pelotas and chistera gloves, the pastries and bakeries of the Moulin de Bassilour which smell of flour and old-fashioned snacks.

Take the time to do everything & also to do nothing

When you come here on holiday, you have 1000 possibilities to keep yourself busy: sports activities, cultural visits, gastronomic discoveries, group or private activities, guided or independent, there really is something for everyone.

And it is also possible to do nothing, to let yourself be lulled by the rhythm of the holidays, the sound of the waves, the sound of the church bell, the aromas of the restaurants, the colors of the market stalls, the views of the mountains and the figures of the surfers on the spots.
