As the May bridges are fast approaching, extended weekends are orchestrated in the homes of travellers. To prepare for the summer and fully relax for a few days, head to Brittany which is full of invigorating and relaxing thalassos.
Offering a good breath of iodine, Brittany promises a getaway away from the bustle of the city. With its luxury hotels featuring incredible wellness areas, the region invites you to fully relax.
Castel Clara Thalasso & Spa in Belle-Île-en-Mer
South of Belle-Île-en-Mer, on the Port de Goulphar, the 4-star Castel Clara Thalasso & Spa bears his name. Already by its pool overlooking the bay of Goulphar. Here, we take the time to read a book and close our eyes on a sunbed, breathing in the sea air of the region. Several cures focus on both fitness and relaxation. The opportunity to enjoy a seaweed wrap, a hydro-massage bath, tonic jet shower, balneotherapy, sauna, hammam or seawater pool with counter current swimming system. The body also enjoys the delights of the 180° restaurant and the freshness of ocean products. In the evening, relax on the private terrace of this thalasso hotel in Brittany facing the sea before joining his room with a marine atmosphere.
Miramar La Cigale in Rhuys
With 5 stars, this hotel located on the peninsula of Rhuys, in Morbihan, is a well-known address for lovers of relaxation. First, for its architecture like a ship stranded on the edge of the waves. Then, for its luxury thalasso that offers stays of 4 to 6 days around 3 themes: wellness, beauty of the body and energy and spa. After a personalized treatment or massage according to needs, we go to the indoor pool to immerse ourselves almost completely in the water on an aquatic bed. Scrub, hammam, wrap, hot stones, relaxing jets… All the equipment is gathered in this wellness temple. On the top floor of the Miramar La Cigale, you will find the restaurant Le Safran, the Ruban Bleu and the cocktail bar Le Goéland. Always with fresh produce and eyes on the Atlantic.
Le Grand Hôtel Barrière Dinard
Head to one of the most beautiful hotels in Dinard. The Grand Hôtel Barrière is located in the seaside resort, facing the sea and the ramparts of Saint-Malo. With 86 rooms coloured in blue and beige that recall the nuances of the nearby beach, as well as its restaurant Le George V, this 5-star hotel nestled in pleasant gardens oscillates between the Second Empire and Belle Epoque styles. This gem dedicates 300m2 to well-being with its spa Diane Barrière, carried by the fame of the hotel group. The colors are soothing and the light is dim. The treatment cabins, some of which are double to relax during a romantic weekend, were designed as real cocoons of sweetness. We reserve the relaxation formula which includes an excellent lunch at 333 Café, the hotel’s bar.

In the morning and evening, we appreciate the warm light that permeates the place and is reflected on the tiles and beige stones.
