Villa Magnan’s history is rooted in aristocratic elegance. Commissioned by a noble family and later hosting artists and philosophers, it has long been a space for quiet reflection and refined gatherings. The recent renovation preserves that spirit, blending heritage architecture with modern comfort.

Each room is uniquely styled but consistent in tone: soft colors, high ceilings, warm wood, and original fireplaces. Bathrooms feature walk-in rain showers and deep soaking tubs. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light and views of the surrounding garden.

The dining room opens to a large terrace, while the lounge, filled with books and mid-century furniture, invites long conversations. The kitchen is a chef’s kitchen—professional-grade, spacious, and set up for catered meals or private dining experiences. A second, smaller kitchen offers added flexibility for groups or staff.

Outdoors, the garden is expansive and green year-round. Sculpted hedges, tall pines, and local stone define the space, which includes multiple terraces and seating areas for meals or morning coffee. There’s a pool out front and the sea is close by. Concierge services can arrange daily surf lessons, massages, yoga classes, or bike rentals to explore the forest paths and coastline.

Villa Magnan is suited for families, creative groups, or friends looking for a quiet base in the Basque Country. The entire property is rented as one unit—ensuring privacy and full access to every corner. Housekeeping is included, and additional services like private chefs or guided experiences can be arranged on request. Biarritz’s town center, beaches, and markets are just ten minutes by car. The region is known for its relaxed culture, strong culinary scene, and year-round surf.

THE SURF

Biarritz is known for its reliable beach breaks and vibrant surf scene. La Grande Plage, 10 minutes from the villa, offers consistent waves for all levels. Côte des Basques, a 15-minute drive, delivers mellow lefts and rights perfect for longboarding. For more power, head to nearby Anglet, where Les Cavaliers and La Barre serve up punchier waves—best in autumn and winter. The area is generally crowded but friendly, with offshore winds in the mornings and a mix of reefs and sandy bottoms.

THE FOOD

Villa Magnan has a fully equipped kitchen ideal for chef-prepped meals or self-catering. Private chefs can be arranged for in-house dining. Biarritz, 10 minutes away, offers excellent dining—from seafood bistros to modern Basque cuisine. Local favorites include Café du Commerce and Les Halles market, both less than 15 minutes by car.

THE DESTINATION

Villa Magnan is in Biarritz’s Chiberta neighborhood, 10 minutes from the town center and coastline. The area is quiet, residential, and surrounded by forest. Biarritz Airport (BIQ) is a 10-minute drive. The region enjoys mild Atlantic weather, ideal for beach days, golf, and forest walks. Originally a small fishing town, Biarritz became a summer home to the wealthy in the 18th century following the arrival of Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie. After gaining popularity as a surf town in the 1950s, Biarritz has been a sought-after location, both for its waves and beautiful 19th-century architecture. Guests can visit the Biarritz Aquarium, the Hotel du Palais, and the Imperial Chape, or take day trips to Bayonne or Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
