The three-star Escale Oceania places you right in the centre of Biarritz, just 300 metres from the main beach and the dramatic Atlantic. Its 65 bedrooms are bright and practically furnished — this is a hotel that prioritises a great location over elaborate extras, making it a shrewd choice for golfers who would rather invest their budget in time on the course than in the room.
From here you have straightforward access to some of the finest golf courses in south-west France, including Hossegor, Chiberta and Biarritz Le Phare. Driving around the region is easy, and private transfers can be arranged if you prefer to arrive at the first tee without a map in your hand. Parking is available at the hotel.
The resort centre is a short walk away, with a wide choice of restaurants and lively bars to keep non-golfers and post-round appetites equally satisfied. For golfers putting together a French golf holiday where every euro on course matters, the Escale Oceania in Biarritz delivers a sensible, well-located base at very good value.
