Best Luxury Hotels in Brittany

Perched on the Sillon beach, many of the 76 rooms at this four-star hotel have sea view balconies. Wellness is a central theme at Oceania Saint-Malo. Here you can try Longe Tonic (a type of aqua aerobics), swim in the outdoor stainless steel pool (or the indoor pool), relax in a hot tub on the leafy patio, book a massage and ease aching muscles in the hammam. A hot and cold breakfast buffet is served either indoors or on the bay-fronted terrace, the in-house bar mixes delicious cocktails into the night and lunch/dinner can be ordered as room service – be sure to pre-order the epic seafood platter.

Ideally located beside the bay, this five-star resort has amenities for those of all ages: a kids club, water sports, hair and beauty treatments, a boutique, outdoor and indoor heated saltwater swimming pools and four restaurants. Designed in the Belle Époque style it has plenty of original features and panoramic sea views. The Thalasso Spa is perhaps Le Grand Hôtel des Thermes’ highlight, with sea-themed treatments, a hammam, sauna and a toasty seawater labyrinth which can be walked or swum through via 194 underwater jets, currents, counter-currents, showers and bubble baths.

If you’re seeking to improve your sports performance or recover from an injury, come here to the Athletic Rehabilitation Center. The spa, which began offering Thalassa treatments in 2016 (having been a well-known wellness centre since 1964), provides a variety of seawater programmes for relaxation, improved health and appearance. Facing the ocean and rugged cliffs, the building enjoys a lot of natural light, with 126 bedrooms offering views of either the sea or land from their balconies. The restaurant, La Presqu’île, has a breathtaking outlook, enjoyed alongside organic Breton cuisine.
