Sleeping on a Breton island: our hotels
Belle-Île, Groix, Île de Batz: where to stay on a Breton island, from the thalassotherapy at Castel Clara to the small hotels near the harbour, and how to get there by boat.
6 min read
You only really discover an island in the evening, once the last boat has left with the day visitors. Staying overnight means having the coastal paths to yourself at sunset. Here are our hotels on three easy to reach islands.
Belle-Île-en-Mer
The largest of the Breton islands is reached by boat from Quiberon. On the wild coast, Castel Clara overlooks the Anse de Goulphar with a thalassotherapy centre. Close by, in Bangor, La Désirade brings together small houses in a large garden, with a heated pool. In Le Palais, where the boats dock, Le Saint Amant is 100 metres from the ferry terminal and Le Corto Maltese two minutes’ walk away; Le Clos Fleuri, a little higher up, rents electric bikes to explore the island.
