Residential seminars, study days, conventions, incentive trips and gala evenings can be organized here for up to 220 people in a plenary session and 250 at dinner, with 120 bedrooms on site for the group. Azureva Hendaye is a holiday village run by the Azureva group at 175 Boulevard de l'Empereur, in Hendaye Plage, on the Basque coast near the Spanish border.
Seminars and company events
Azureva sells three formats here. The residential seminar includes a single room, breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee breaks, the meeting room and its equipment. The study day covers lunch, a coffee break, the meeting room and equipment. Custom programs are built on request. The site is open from March to November.
The plenary hall is built for conventions: a projector, a cinema screen, sound and lighting control, wireless and wired microphones, a 10 by 4 meter stage with curtains and wings, a TV, a flipchart, a ballot box and a lectern. The four breakout rooms each have a projector and a flipchart. All rooms are tiled and have daylight.
Team building can stay on site, with a Basque pelota court, a fitness room and a covered heated pool, or move out: surfing, outrigger canoeing, sailing, rafting, karting, paintball, golf, a treetop course or quad tours. Thalassotherapy is available through a partner institute in Hendaye. Excursions run to San Sebastián, Hondarribia, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Biarritz, Bayonne, Espelette and the La Rhune rack railway. Evenings can include a Basque themed night, a gala dinner or karaoke, and the team can book outside performers such as bands, magicians or cabaret artists.

A bar with a panoramic terrace over the ocean serves evening drinks.
