It’s often in the smallest towns that you’ll find the most charming and welcoming places to stay. Bidart, with a population of 7,000, is no exception to the rule. Here are our three favorite places to stay.

Along the Uhabia Greenway route lies a charming estate consisting of three accommodations, including a hotel housed in a former farmhouse. It holds the “Accueil Vélo” certification; if you’ve chosen to cycle along the greenway, you’ll be able to park your bike in a secure spot for the night. In keeping with its history, the hotel strives to be as eco-friendly as possible—featuring, in particular, a permaculture garden—and has been committed to the European Eco-Label since it opened. It’s also the perfect spot for a group getaway, as you can rent a fully equipped 7-bedroom villa (with access to the pool, tennis court, and bocce court…). A peaceful retreat that’s still very easy to reach and just 5 minutes from the beaches.

Yet another hotel that will delight cyclists: located on the Velodyssée, it’s practically a natural stop on your route—especially since the hotel has the “Accueil Vélo” certification, giving you peace of mind during your stay. This cozy hotel is located just 500 meters from the beaches—close enough to take a dip first thing in the morning if you feel like it! In this hotel right in the heart of town, you can book anything from a single room to an apartment with a kitchen. The owner, Maeva, is proud of her small, friendly hotel and guarantees you a wonderful stay: from its proximity to the beach and the village square to the quality of the rooms and apartments and the impeccable service, this hotel has everything to please, whether you’re traveling for leisure or business.

This hotel is brand-new! It opened last May on the banks of the Uhabia River and has already earned the Clé Verte and Accueil Vélo certifications thanks to its environmental commitments. it’s a very well-equipped place to stay, ready to offer you a 100% relaxing getaway—with a special mention for the pool after a wonderful day exploring the Basque Country by bike! The rooms are spacious, and after a day of exploring the village, there’s nothing like a dip in the pool or enjoying the hotel’s garden under the southern sun. For cyclists, there’s no better location: the hotel is situated at the intersection of the Vélodyssée and the Uhabia Greenway. It’s an essential stop along the way.
