Where to go in Southern Brittany for a romantic weekend?
The Domaine de Locguénolé: a luxurious setting for a getaway for two
As soon as you arrive at Domaine de Locguénolé, you'll be overwhelmed by a feeling of well-being. Nestling in 25 hectares of wooded parkland, this exceptional establishment overlooks the peaceful waters of the Blavet. Here, everything invites you to unwind and recharge your batteries: walkways lined with century-old trees, perfectly tended gardens, and the historic architecture of this former aristocratic residence.
The rooms and suites, divided between the Château, the Manoir and the Club, have been designed as cocoons of intimacy. Each space, decorated with care, evokes a voyage through time and across the oceans, paying homage to the maritime epics that have left their mark on the region. Elegant wood panelling, precious fabrics and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside create an atmosphere conducive to reverie and romance.
An ideal region for a romantic getaway
Southern Brittany is a land of emotions. Between land and sea, nature and heritage, it offers couples an idyllic setting for an enchanted interlude. Whether you're looking for hand-in-hand strolls along the water's edge, cultural discoveries or moments of absolute relaxation, Morbihan is full of treasures to explore.
Just a few kilometres from the Domaine, immerse yourself in the authentic, unspoilt scenery of the Ria d'Étel. This winding inlet, dotted with wild islets and secret coves, is one of the region's hidden gems. For an even more magical experience, embark on a romantic cruise and let the waves carry you to the island of Saint-Cado, where a tiny fishing hamlet seems frozen in time.
Further south, the Quiberon peninsula reveals a succession of breathtaking landscapes. At times lined with long sandy beaches, at other times sculpted by the onslaught of the Atlantic, it offers a breathtaking spectacle at sunset. The cliffs of the Côte Sauvage, swept by the sea spray, are the perfect place for a stroll with your partner, lulled by the song of the waves and the cry of the gulls.
An idyllic stay at Domaine de Locguénolé: a romantic rendezvous
Two nights in an exceptional hotel in Southern Brittany
As soon as you arrive at Domaine de Locguénolé, you'll be overwhelmed by a feeling of tranquillity. Nestling in the heart of 25 hectares of parkland, where the forest mingles with flower gardens, this exceptional establishment plunges you into a world where time seems to stand still. The old stones of the 18th-century château, the avenues lined with century-old trees and the silvery reflections of the Blavet river below create a poetic setting, ideal for a romantic weekend in Southern Brittany.
But more than just an enchanting setting, it's an immersive experience of elegance and refinement that awaits you. Domaine de Locguénolé promises a journey through time and cultures, where each room tells a story.
In Le Château, the soul of the great maritime expeditions shines through in the antique furniture with Asian and Oriental accents, recalling the splendour of the era of the Indian Route. Warm colours, precious fabrics and the discreet luxury of weathered wood give the place an atmosphere that is both intimate and sophisticated.
Le Manoir, for its part, has a refined decor, where raw, natural materials such as stone and linen underline the beauty of the original architecture. Finally, Le Club, housed in former stables, pays tribute to the estate's equestrian history with refined decorative features and a cosy ambience.
Each room, whatever its inspiration, guarantees absolute comfort: top-of-the-range bedding, subdued lighting, marble bathroom with bath or walk-in shower, and panoramic views over the park or river. Far from the hustle and bustle of the world, Domaine de Locguénolé is a veritable cocoon of serenity, designed for lovers looking for an unforgettable getaway.
A candlelit dinner at L'Inattendu
A romantic holiday would not be complete without the pleasures of the table. At the heart of the gastronomic restaurant At L'Inattendu, every mouthful is an invitation to travel, a declaration of love for Breton produce brought to life by the chef's creativity.
Imagine yourself comfortably seated at an elegantly laid table, facing the large picture windows that offer a breathtaking view of the Blavet glistening in the last rays of the sun. The hushed atmosphere, the subdued lighting, the delicate clinking of wine glasses... everything you need for a magical evening.
The menu, inspired by the riches of the Atlantic Ocean and Brittany, offers dishes where flavours are revealed with subtlety and boldness. You might start with a scallop carpaccio flavoured with citrus fruit, delicately enhanced with seaweed oil. Then come the main course, a roasted turbot, accompanied by a crushed potato from the island of Groix, whose melt-in-the-mouth texture contrasts wonderfully with the finesse of the fish.
Seafood lovers will be tempted by the blue lobster roasted with sweet spices, a real tribute to local culinary traditions, while meat lovers will savour a mature fillet of beef, sublimated by a cider reduction and parsnip crumble.
To round off this romantic feast, what could be better than a light and delicious dessert? Buckwheat soufflé with salted butter caramel, a light millefeuille with Plougastel raspberries, or a melting ganache with dark chocolate and Guérande salt... All sweet treats that will prolong the moment of pleasure. And for an even more intimate moment, why not choose to dine under the stars on the terrace? A suspended moment, out of time, for two to enjoy.
Relaxation and well-being at Spa Macha: a sanctuary of serenity in Morbihan
Because a romantic weekend is also an opportunity to refocus on yourself and your partner, the Spa Macha at the Locguénolé hotel opens the doors to a world where well-being becomes an art of living. As soon as you enter this refined space, a gentle warmth envelops your body, while the delicate scents of Sothys products awaken your senses. Let yourself be carried away by this peaceful, rejuvenating atmosphere, where every detail has been designed to invite absolute relaxation.
Start your pampering ritual with a soak in the sauna or hammam, ideal for releasing tension and purifying the skin. Then take a seat in one of the treatment rooms, where the therapists will treat you to tailor-made massages and facials. The ultimate luxury? A duo massage in the Spa Suite, an intimate setting where you can enjoy a moment of relaxation for two, with a body massage, private bath and private sauna.
After this sensory escape, extend your moment of serenity in the heated indoor pool, where the water sparkles under the subdued lights. Enjoy the herbal tea room, where infusions scented with local plants invite you to take a gentle, comforting break.
For those who want an even more complete experience, Spa Macha also offers high-performance facial treatments designed to reveal your skin's natural radiance. Scrubs, wraps, moisturising treatments... each ritual is a promise of deep well-being.
A perfect day at Le Locguénolé begins with a refined breakfast served in your room, followed by a morning at the spa, before a romantic stroll in the park or along the river Blavet. Then, after an afternoon of discoveries and escapades in Southern Brittany, it ends with a candlelit dinner at L'Inattendu, under a starry sky, celebrating the present moment.
Let yourself be tempted by this unique escapade, where time fades away and only love remains.
