Sitting just outside the Breton town of Concarneau, and a mere minute from the beach, Thalasso Concarneau is a seaside retreat where downtime equals spa time. A well-equipped thalassotherapy center is at the heart of the hotel, a soothing space in stone and wood where you can enjoy the view of the bay from two heated seawater pools and a panoramic sauna, or book one of the many relaxing treatments on offer. Contemporary rooms in beachy shades of sand and blue all come with a balcony or terrace, and most with a sea view. Restaurant La Domaine serves a light and contemporary menu which celebrates local Breton produce, and there’s an outdoor terrace for warmer days.
