For a romantic stay with us, the key word is i-n-t-i-m-a-c-y! Brittany is brimming with accommodation options for a magical night (or several) for two. Whether it’s a spa hotel, a château, a treehouse or even a holiday cottage, there’s something to suit every taste and every desire. Discover charming accommodation on the Pink Granite Coast

How do you choose accommodation for a romantic weekend in Brittany?

Choosing your romantic accommodation depends on the sort of holiday you’d like to have! For a night of luxury, tranquillity and indulgence, opt for a room in a castle or a spa hotel. It’s the ideal setting for a truly relaxing break! If you’re looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, a wooden cabin in the heart of the countryside is the perfect choice. And for cosy, ‘home-from-home’ comfort, Brittany’s holiday cottages welcome you all year round. Which one do you think you’ll fall for? Discover charming accommodation on the Pink Granite Coast

When should you book your accommodation for a romantic weekend in Brittany?

If Brittany is tempting you for your next romantic getaway, we recommend planning ahead! The best approach is to book your accommodation in advance, especially if you’re looking at highly sought-after options such as a spa hotel, a room in a castle or a wooden cabin.

What facilities can you find in a spa hotel?

A spa is a relaxation area featuring a swimming pool, jacuzzi, hammam, sauna and treatments such as massages. Thalassotherapy, on the other hand, is specifically linked to seawater and its benefits: seaweed and marine mud. Its focus is more therapeutic than that of a spa (improving circulation, reducing stress, aiding muscle recovery, etc.). In Brittany, many hotels offer both: a spa for a pampering evening, or a thalassotherapy centre for a wellness-focused break with personalised treatments over several days.

What are some things to do on a romantic weekend in Brittany?

Whether you’re a fan of off-the-beaten-track getaways, a moment of relaxation or even an artist at heart, the Côtes d’Armor is brimming with activities to suit every taste! Here, pop into the artisan shops, let yourself be swept away by a wave of well-being at a spa, or treat yourself to lunch or dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Not to mention walks in the great outdoors, whether facing the ocean or deep in the forest.

A romantic weekend in Brittany: our ideas for things to do!

Fancy rekindling the spark with your other half? A romantic weekend in Brittany is just the ticket! On the Pink Granite Coast, this weekend is full of colour (literally) with the pink granite cliffs, the little harbours with their colourful shutters, and the blue waters stretching as far as the eye can see. In short, the Côtes d’Armor has everything to make you fall head over heels. On the agenda for your stay: strolls hand in hand along the coastal paths, a few seafood tastings, or exploring local crafts. And plenty of love! Without further ado, here are all our top picks to help you (re)fall in love with Brittany – and with your partner.

Published on 22 September 2022

A romantic weekend in Brittany already sounds like a promise of sea air and precious moments. On the Pink Granite Coast, this promise takes on a unique character: granite cliffs sculpted by time, charming little harbours, secluded beaches where you feel as though you’re alone in the world.

Here, love is lived simply: a stroll hand in hand along a coastal path, dinner overlooking the sea, or a shared massage whilst the Breton rain taps against the window. No need for frills – the magic lies in the ordinary moments. And even the weather plays its part: a ray of sunshine for a picnic, a sudden shower that brings you closer together under an umbrella, a changing sky that makes the sea look spectacular. So, are you ready to write your love story together? The Pink Granite Coast awaits you, generous and romantic.

Waking up in a hotel
with a sea view on a romantic getaway

Just picture it: a gentle wake-up in your charming accommodation, a sea view as you open the shutters, and breakfast on the terrace. What could be more romantic? On the Pink Granite Coast, sleeping facing the ocean is almost a tradition. And good news for lovers of the Celtic Sea: our recommendations for your weekend in Brittany cater to every taste! Hotels with relaxation areas and spas, wooden treehouses, manor houses in the heart of the countryside or cosy guesthouses – there’s bound to be accommodation to meet your expectations in the Côtes d’Armor!

Are your calves aching after a good walk? Is the sky clouding over a bit (surprising as it may seem in Brittany)? Opt for romantic accommodation with a spa! Jacuzzi, massage, thalassotherapy or even a hammam: make way for relaxation during your romantic getaway.

Set off hand in hand
for a romantic stroll

Being in love is, above all, about walking the same path together! If you want to keep following in each other’s footsteps, make the most of your romantic weekend on the Pink Granite Coast to explore Brittany’s natural beauty.

The first stop on your getaway: a seaside walk along the Grand Rocher to the Pointe du Dourven. This is where you’ll really pull out all the stops! The walk takes place in a unique setting: cliffs, secret coves, maritime pines leaning out towards the ocean… Not to mention the breathtaking view of Trébeurden! And if a bit of a challenge is what keeps your relationship going, put yourselves to the test by climbing the steps at Brélévenez. We promise, the view is well worth the effort.

Our top tip for the evening: head to the Renote Peninsula in Trégastel. It’s THE ultimate romantic spot in Brittany! At sunset, the waves take on a magical golden hue. And it’s so romantic.

Meet local craftspeople
and give them a gift!

After a series of walks and candlelit dinners, a restful night’s sleep, spa and thalassotherapy sessions, you’re certain: this is the one! And this Breton getaway only serves to confirm it. To mark this special day with a milestone (or even a precious one), pop into some of Brittany’s jewellers and jewellery shops. First stop: Jutta Behr-Schaeidt’s workshop in Lannion. Whether it’s a gold ring, a silver necklace or even earrings set with precious stones, you’ll find that rare gem here!

The other shop not to be missed during your romantic weekend in Brittany is in Tréguier: La Selkie. Classic Breton legends come to life in the form of linocuts, gouaches and ink drawings. Perfect if your other half has an artistic soul. Looking for a gift that’s as unusual as it is romantic? Uncover an ‘alguier’ (a composition of pressed seaweed) at the Herbiers Iodés shop in Pleudaniel.

A romantic tête-à-tête
at a hidden gem of a restaurant

Is your love of fine dining matched only by your love for your partner? Good news! You won’t have to choose between the two during your romantic weekend in Brittany. The region is brimming with dining options, each more delicious than the last. Our current suggestion: treat your partner to lunch or dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant between activities. And once you’re seated, savour the region’s finest local produce, such as lobster, langoustines or scallops, all served up on your plate.

For this romantic meal, three restaurants really stand out: l’Anthocyane in Lannion, the Manoir de Lan Kerellec in Trébeurden, and Les Filets Bleus in Trédrez-Locquémeau (with a special mention for its panoramic view of the sea and the harbour at Locquémeau!). These restaurants are perfect for an experience that’s as romantic as it is gourmet. All you have to do is sit down and let the chefs treat you to a feast.

A weekend of wellness and relaxation for couples

A romantic getaway is also the perfect opportunity to take it easy with your soulmate. As it happens, when it comes to relaxation, Brittany is the place to be! And if there’s one place that epitomises well-being, it’s undoubtedly the unique Roz Marine thalasso & spa centre in Perros-Guirec. Let us set the scene: a swimming pool with sea views, full-day or à la carte thalasso treatments, a hammam, a sauna… Something tells us you’ll even want to spend the night there.

What if your romantic getaway could help you get back to peak physical condition? Join Valentin from Saun’Acti Océan for a workout that’s as invigorating as it is unusual. Once you’ve slipped on your wetsuit, you’ll set off to enjoy the benefits of the ocean during a sea-based aquagym class – a mix of coastal walking and aquagym. They’re mad, these Bretons.

An unusual romantic weekend

Not really your thing: thalassotherapy and spas? If you and your partner love a bit of a surprise, check out our original activities! Fans of retro charm will love a ride in a 2CV along the Côte d’Ajoncs with Roz’capades. With the wind in your hair, it’s the perfect opportunity to admire a wonderfully romantic view of the ocean as you drive along. And to savour the moment to the full, all you have to do is choose your option: would you prefer a tasting of Breton crêpes or a Polaroid souvenir photo? We’ll leave you to make up your own mind!

What could be more romantic than a trip out to sea during a romantic weekend in Brittany? Climb aboard an old sailing ship – a traditional vessel of our coastline – and set off to explore the island of Bréhat. And if you’d like to make the moment last a little longer, why not spend the night on board!
