La Réserve

Palm trees, wide lawns, and blue skies (more often than not) all set off the lovely white walls and tiled roof of this hotel, complete with a gorgeous view of the ocean. The Residence has studios and apartments for rent, with terraces overlooking the Atlantic which is a good option for larger families, but plenty of normal hotel rooms and suites are available as well. Apartments are uniquely decorated, but the hotel’s rooms and suites have a  breezy and airy style, with many featuring balconies or patios. Its Restaurant Ilura specializes in fresh seafood and has superb views that match the cuisine.The beaches of St. Jean de Luz are accessible by a (fairly steep) coastal path.
