St. Jean de Luz is located in the central Basque region (French side). Fly or train from Biarritz (1 hour at most) or San Sebastian (1 hour at most).

Where to Stay

There are not a lot of big hotels (which is nice) – we stayed (with Backroads) at Grand Hôtel which is lovely. The hotel is right on the beach and has a nice restaurant, bar and spa.

Other suggested hotels include:
Hôtel De La Plage
Hôtel & Spa Hélianthal Thalazur
