With family or friends, children can try out sports activities and parents can take a break and admire the Basque Country from the sky and admire the children surfing, pelota or rugby.

But sport is also about health and the region has forged a great reputation in terms of thermal baths. Between Anglet, Biarritz and Saint Jean de Luz, many Thalasso-therapy centres know how to get the benefits from seawater and sea spray. Come and relax in Bidart and try out at least half a day just for you in one of the partner centres of the OYAM campsite such as the Thalmar centre, 10 minutes from your holiday destination.
