In 1900, Edmond Rostand, writer of the play Cyrano de Bergerac, came to Cambo-les-Bains because of his pulmonary disease. He was taken by the area and in time bought some land and had a house built. It was completed in 1906. His house, the Villa Arnaga, is now a heritage site and a museum devoted to Rostand's life and Basque architecture and crafts.
The Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz died in Cambo-les-Bains in 1909 as well as another significant Spanish composer, Sebastián Durón, who died there in 1716. The French orientalist Jean Sauvaget died in Cambo in 1950. Musical instrument inventor Georges Jenny, who devised the Ondioline, died in Cambo-les-Bains in 1975.
Mixel Labéguerie, a doctor and key figure in Basque culture and politics after World War II lived in Cambo.
