Where to find the best holiday apartments and villas in the Basque Country

Popular locations for holiday rentals

When you book holiday apartments and villas in the Basque Country, you'll find a delightful mix of coastal and city stays. The seaside cities of San Sebastián and Bilbao offer lively atmospheres with historic centres, perfect for travellers looking to combine culture with convenience. For quieter escapes, the scenic coastal towns like Zarautz, Lekeitio and Ondárroa provide charming settings with peaceful beaches and natural surroundings.

For those wanting to connect with nature, locations near the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve or towns in the foothills of the Pyrenees offer more secluded villas and cottages ideal for relaxation and outdoor exploring.

Features and appeal of Basque holiday rentals

The holiday apartments and villas here vary from stylish urban flats to rustic country homes and modern villas with coastal views. Many properties boast terraces, gardens, or BBQ areas, perfect for enjoying Basque sunshine.

Some offer private pools, ideal for families or larger groups, while cosy apartments in cities provide easy access to local markets and eateries. Whether you're travelling as a couple, family, or group of friends, these rentals provide comfort, independence and a home-like feel that hotels often lack.

Exploring the diverse regions of the Basque Country

The Northern coastal charm and mountainous interiors

The Basque Country, or País Vasco, is nestled along the Atlantic coast with stunning cliffs and beaches facing the Bay of Biscay. The region includes three provinces: Alava, Gipuzkoa, and Vizcaya, each offering unique landscapes and cultural highlights.

To the north, coastal towns such as San Sebastián and Zarautz charm visitors with sandy beaches and promenades lined with cafes. Inland, verdant rolling hills and mountains provide scenic hiking and peaceful countryside experiences with quaint villages.

Cultural highlights and vibrant cities of the Basque Country

Bilbao, the largest city, is an industrial hub turned modern cultural centre, famed for its Guggenheim Museum. Vitoria-Gasteiz, the capital, shines with a well-preserved historic centre and lively festivals throughout the year. San Sebastián stands out for its cosmopolitan feel, beautiful bays and world-class cuisine.

These cities are ideal for shopping, dining, and enjoying Basque traditions, while beaches and nature spots lie just a short drive away, offering varied attractions within easy reach.

Activities for all travellers to enjoy the Basque Country

Spectacular beaches for every type of visitor

The Basque Country boasts some of Spain's best beaches, perfect for families, nature lovers, surfers, and those seeking a romantic getaway. Popular beaches like La Concha in San Sebastián offer calm waters ideal for swimming and sunbathing, with picturesque mountain backdrops. Zarautz is a surf hotspot with a mix of beginner-friendly and challenging waves, complemented by a lively beachfront promenade filled with bars and restaurants.

For nature enthusiasts, Laga beach in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve is a wild, unspoiled retreat surrounded by dramatic cliffs, while Sopelana's Arrietara-Atxabiribil beach is famous for bodyboarding and holds major surfing events.

Culinary delights and outdoor adventures

The Basque Country's gastronomy is world-renowned with dishes such as piperrada and txangurro showcasing regional ingredients. Pintxos bars are plentiful in San Sebastián and Bilbao, offering delightful tapas experiences to sample local flavours.

For active travellers, the region offers incredible hikes through lush forests and coastal paths. Routes like the Zarautz to Zumaia hike showcase breathtaking ocean views and unique geological formations, while exploring the Parque Natural de Gorbeia or Mount Ernio provides rewarding outdoor experiences.

The Basque Country boasts some of the most beautiful and diverse beaches in Spain, ranging from calm family-friendly shores to rugged surfing hotspots.
