Tucked away within the Beaurivage neighbourhood above the Côte de Basques beach is Sunburn Store. A one-stop wonder for all the surfing gear you could ever desire, plus an emporium of magazines, zines, clothing and crockery. Everything is carefully curated by Septembre00 - a creative studio and painfully, chic design emporium. It's worth passing by for a browse but it's the events that set Sunburn apart: there's photo exhibitions, video screening, craft workshops to supper club wonderments. 

Just above Lake Mouriscot is the sublime Villa Magnan, a pension de familie and otherwise described as a residential guesthouse. Nestled within the Biarritz countryside, Villa Magnan is six bedroom, peaceful haven. Communal breakfasts are served in the Orangery using only local ingredients, the rooms are decorated with Art Deco knick knacks and the living areas scattered with Pierre Paulin armchairs, huge murals and incredible antiques. Each year a different chef-in residence takes over the on-site, greenhouse kitchen, De Puta Madre and transforms this sanctuary into a wonderful chaos of good food and high energy serving up delectable, hand cooked dishes. This year welcomes Paul-Antoine Bertin to the scene.
