Renting an office in Biarritz: how to choose

You are looking for office space in Biarritz and wondering where to start: a private office in a business centre, coworking, a flexible lease, or something else. The town is small, but there are more options than you might think, and the right one depends as much on how you work as on your budget. This guide sorts through them, from a shared desk to your own desk for the whole year.

It is written by someone from Biarritz who builds companies from here and has seen more or less every kind of arrangement come and go.

The main ways to rent

Before you compare addresses, work out which kind of rental matches what you actually need.

A private office in a business centre. Your own four walls, a door that shuts, and shared services: reception, meeting rooms, post handling. Ideal for a team of two or three who are on client calls all day and want privacy. It is the closest thing to a traditional lease, with less commitment.

A private office in a coworking space. An office with its own door, inside a coworking space. You keep your privacy and still get the life of the place: coffee, events, the person at the next table who sometimes helps you move a project forward. A good compromise if you work alone but like to look up from your screen now and then.

Your own desk. A desk kept for you, always the same one, without renting a whole room. Cheaper than a private office, steadier than hot-desking. It is often the most sensible option for a founder working alone who spends every day in the same place.

A flexible commercial lease. For a growing team, premises on a short lease. More freedom to fit the place out as you like, but also more bills and more admin. Rarely worth it until the team is a decent size.

What an office in Biarritz costs

The price depends on the plan, the neighbourhood and the services. For a desk in a coworking space, expect €200 to €600 a month on average. A private office costs more, depending on its size and address.

Rent is not the only cost. A badly insulated, badly connected or badly placed office costs you hours every week. A well-chosen, well-designed place, on the other hand, pays for itself quickly, especially if it saves you pointless journeys.

The neighbourhood changes everything

Where you rent matters as much as what you rent. The town centre has most of the business centres and shared offices, with services and places to eat close by. The Côte des Basques, the beach on Biarritz's southern side below the cliffs, leans towards small coworking spaces, with the ocean at the end of the street. Anglet, the next town along, often has more generous floor space, but it is further from the station and the airport.

For a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood picture, the overview of coworking spaces in Biarritz sets out who does what. And the homepage explains coworking in Biarritz as Bibi House sees it.

Settling in for the long run

If you will be there regularly, a desk rented by the month or the year makes everything steadier: the same desk, the same neighbours, the same equipment, with nothing to book each morning. It is almost always the better deal once you come in more than two days a week.

Beyond a few visits a month, your own desk works out cheaper and is far less tiring than hunting for a free one. It also turns a workplace into somewhere you belong: you see the same people there, and you build something.

Your own desk: the Bibi House option

At Bibi House, 11 rue Lamartine at the Côte des Basques, that is the Fixe plan: your own desk in a private office, always the same one, for €399 a month excl. VAT. If you do not need a desk of your own, the Flex plan gives you the open-plan space for €299 a month excl. VAT. Both include the gym and the surf room, and there is no minimum term: you can cancel whenever you like, effective at the end of the current period. Bibi House opens on 1 November 2026 and is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm; you can book your place now.

Beyond the desk, Bibi House is a place where people know each other and lend a hand. You will find more on the homepage, under the idea and plans and prices. And if you would like to see the office before deciding, send us a WhatsApp or drop by for a coffee: we will show you around.

In short

Choose an office in Biarritz in this order: how long you are staying first, then the neighbourhood, then the plan. To try things out, a day or two is enough. To settle in, go for your own desk in a place with people who suit you. Biarritz takes care of the rest.
