L'Auberge Basque occupies Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, a few kilometres from the ocean and directly facing the Pyrenees and Larrun mountain. The property's architecture embodies its dual character: one wing preserves a traditional inn form, while the other manifests as a modernist cube—a visual contrast that extends to its cuisine.
The location affords access to both coastal and mountain pursuits: ocean walks, hiking, mountain biking, rafting on regional waterways, and nearby golf.
The hotel comprises 12 elegantly decorated rooms and suites. The Classic room measures 20 square metres; Superior options are 30 square metres with or without terrace. A Deluxe with Balcony and a 50-square-metre Junior Suite serve larger parties, while a 60-square-metre Apartment accommodates up to five guests with two queen beds.
At least one room and the main restaurant provide accessibility for guests with mobility requirements. Family options include connecting rooms, family suites, and multi-bedroom villas; baby facilities (cots at extra cost) and early dinner service support families with children.
