Thalasso Concarneau Spa Marin Resort ★★★★

It’s amazing how little we have to travel these days to find the most divine accommodation in the most ideal location. Paradise doesn’t have to involve secluded islands on the other side of the world, encircled by white sandy beaches and crystal-clear water. Just a hop, skip and a jump across the channel will take you to Brittany, a seemingly undiscovered region where you’ll stumble upon hidden gems around every corner. Situated near the Sables Blancs beach, the Thalasso Concarneau Spa Marin Resort offers a privileged environment with beautiful views of the nearby ocean… an invitation to relaxation and wellbeing.

The relaxation continues inside, as you enter the resort’s crowning glory: its spa. Facing the ocean, this haven of serenity offers a new way to enjoy the benefits of the sea. Start with a leisurely dip in the swimming pools, equipped with massage jets, bubble loungers and a hot tub, then unwind in the hammam and sauna whilst enjoying sea views. Finally, treat yourself to a bespoke massage or facial in the treatment rooms, where the masseuses’ expert hands will work their magic to get rid of any stress or tension that might be lingering from a week at work. The treatment menu is extensive, and just one trip during your stay won’t be enough to do it justice!

Make yourself at home in your own room or suite, featuring a range of modern amenities including a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, coffee making facilities and a spacious bathroom with complimentary toiletries and bathrobes. Your private balcony overlooks the sea, and provides the perfect place to sit and read one of the complimentary newspapers with a coffee, watching the sun rise up over the mysterious deep blue water.

Opened in 2015, this hotel also has the ‘Le Domaine’, a restaurant offering contemporary cuisine made from fresh local products. Choose your seafood from the tank, select a wine from the wide selection and dine in a lovely atmosphere with a service to match. You can then enjoy an exotic cocktail at the bar, accompanied by spectacular views.

The area surrounding the hotel is abundant with activities and sightseeing opportunities. Best known for its fortified town, Concarneau is a charming town and a major fishing port where you can spend hours simply wandering around. Jutting out into the port, the ville close can be accessed by a bridge and is filled with little shops, cafés and galleries, enclosed by medieval ramparts which offer picturesque views.

Return to your welcoming home away from home and treat yourself to another massage, followed by a comoforting cup of tea in the lounge bar – we can guarantee that by this point you’ll be feeling more relaxed and rejuvenated than you have felt in a long time, and it’s all thanks to the Thalasso Concarneau Spa Marin Resort!
