Val de Lamartine (Mlp102)

When you look up the commune of Anglet in France, you will likely be immediately shown images of some stunning beaches in the area rather than the town and it makes sense as the main attraction to this part of the Basque Coast is the incredible natural beauty of the landscape. Those who find a villa in Anglet are likely those interested in swimming, surfing, other water sports, relaxing on the beach, going for walks or hikes, cycling along scenic routes, exploring nature reserves, and, generally, enjoying the great outdoors. However, there also plenty of cafés, restaurants, and bars to discover and keep you energised as you stay active and try it all out in this well-known Basque seaside resort.

Looking to escape to the coast on vacation in France but after something a little different? There are lots of incredible and famous seaside resort towns in France – the beloved surfing destination of Biarritz, the legendary Mont Saint-Michel surrounded by sweeping Normandy beaches, and the glamour and luxury offered along the Côte d'Azur in the likes of Cannes – but there are also plenty of spots that you’ll see pictured a little less often in tourist guides, which still have so much to offer visitors.

Among these, Anglet stands out as a particularly excellent spot for those who love to be immersed in nature and have plenty to see and do outdoors. If you like to stay active, Anglet is a dream destination boasting, not only some incredible beaches for surfing, but lush forests in which to hike, cycle paths cutting through the surrounding scenery, a golf course, and much more besides. So, if you want to enjoy a break on the coast and get out into nature to indulge in some fun adventures, then a villa in Anglet is the way to go!

Biarritz is best known as a hot-spot for surfers and anyone who spends time in one of our amazing vacation rentals in Biarritz will see plenty of surfboards being carried down to the coast, skilled experts tackling impressive waves at some beaches, and those just learning to master the sport at the more beginner-friendly strands.
