Résidence La Réserve

Perched on a clifftop in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, this 4-star hotel looks out over the Atlantic Ocean. You're minutes from St-Jean-de-Luz Beach, Pointe de Sainte Barbe, the Littoral Paul Jovet Botanical Garden and a nearby golf course—ideal for coastal walks and local sightseeing.

This typical Basque villa has 41 rooms, including six suites, styled in brown, burgundy and ivory with large bay windows that frame ocean or park panoramas. Rooms are air-conditioned and feature minibars, flat-screen TVs, bathrobes, slippers and in-room safes; the property sits in a three-hectare park planted with palms and offers the 'Le Patio' relaxation cabin for massages and spa treatments.

Take a dip in the seasonal outdoor pool, play on the outdoor tennis court, or stroll the palm-filled grounds and library—wake up to sea-breeze mornings through the bay windows. Free Wi‑Fi and free self-parking simplify your stay; buffet breakfast is served daily (7:00–10:00, fee applies), and babysitting/childcare (surcharge) makes the hotel family-friendly.

Meeting facilities (about 60 m²) and a computer station support small events, while complimentary Wi‑Fi, a 24-hour front desk and concierge services keep business travel straightforward.

Ilura, the hotel's restaurant, serves authentic Basque-influenced cuisine with pool views and alfresco dining when the weather allows; there's also a bar/lounge and limited-hours room service.
